Period
This artifact is in its original packaging and was never used.
Canada
This toy was sold in Canada, and is representative of this type of air travel. Canada avait bel et bien ce jouet dans ces magasins de ventes et l'objet est représentatif de ce genre de voyage aérien.
Function
This artifact a child’s toy. It is a kite-like inflatable balloon shaped like an airship. Cet artefact est un jouet pour enfant qui fonctionne comme un ballon gonflable qui prend la forme d’un dirigeable.
Technical
When exposed to the sun the balloon levitates using solar balloon technology like a hot air balloon. Lift is created when the heat generated inside the balloon decreases the air density. Quand l'artefact vient en contact avec les rayons du soleil le ballon va être soulevé en utilisant les mêmes principes comme une montgolfière. La chaleur qui est générée à l'intérieur du ballon diminue la densité de l'air pour créer une portance et permettre au jouet de voler.

The toy also has a black coloured cotton string that is wound around a blue piece of cardboard that has white lettering. The object and packaging are closed with the help of a rectangular piece of cardboard that sits atop the bag. The advertisement on the cardboard has a warning label on the proper right side in four separate languages. These warnings are colour coded from top to bottom as blue, red, yellow and white. The proper right side of the cardboard shows an image of a black coloured UFO with blue and red lettering along with yellow stars. The UFO is held on a string by a man who is on a beach.
