MY UNCLE's HOT AIR BALLOON NIGHTGLOW

My uncle over in Holland ever year has his amazing hot air balloon night glow. The first time I witnessed one of my uncle's nightglows... i was 15 years old and had goose bump on my arms. I thought it was the cooolest thing ever !!

WATCH IT ALL !!! Obviously it would be more amazing to watch it live.
