Hot air balloons over the Las Vegas valley are not an unusual sight. But, quite a few people were surprised when they saw a balloon early morning that appeared to be flying upside down.
The upside-down balloon and its companions took flight around 7:30 a.m. Friday. Many people began posting photos of the unusual balloon on social media. For a while, no one seemed to know where the balloon came from.
It turns out that the balloon belongs to the German-based Festo Corp., who is in town for the PACK Expo. The upside-down balloon was actually one half of a pair of balloons. The other balloon was the traditional design.
