I’ve come across all versions of balloons In our everyday lives. Sky Lanterns are a favorite party accessory that draws it’s inspiration from the Hot air balloon.

Sure As Shooting you must remember going to at a festival when you were 5 or so and that silly clown man blowing up all manner of skinny balloons that he would distort into objects. Sausage dogs, hats and daisy flowers are just a few that leap into my mind.When thinking about the different types of balloons hot air balloons also spring to mind, Phileas Fogg navigated one around the earth in the eighty days in a  fictional childs show and the very non-fiction Richard Branson also pioneered one being the first to cross the atlantic in a Hot Air balloon although it wasn’t all straight floating and he did have a few hazardous trial runs.
