You're setting up for "my kids are lost in our balloon gondola" publicity stunt.

Balloon was slowly inflated and used to roll gondola on its side.

It`s one of the lost sojus-module
landed years ago bei GSVVM. The 24 jet propulsons are colored yellow and red for camoulflage; now used what Bepi said.

This colorful one is strange. I once saw something like this, when fireman attanded to a rolled truck. That balloon or cushion was fed from the tailpipe of the fire tender.

The color of the bag was something dull, like grey or khaki and it did not resemble a "UFO disco ball" at all.

Well, balloons are supposed to have gondolas anyhow...

I remember an engraving about a victorian era polar expedition, where the explorers actually hanged a steam launch under their giant hydrogen balloon, so they could stay afloat in case of an emergency landing.
