Wild winds sweep the giant Condor I balloon from its lines in the early stages of inflation, 1975.
“In the first century BC the Nazca Indians of Peru may already have flown in some type of hot hair balloon. This supposition is based upon designs on a pottery artefact in Lima, and upon the puzzling lines and piles of stones stretching across 200 square miles of the Plain of Nazca. The stones are meaningless - until seen from the air, when they form patterns of massive birds and directional markings. A primitive hot hair balloon, copying the pottery design and using only materials available to this pre-Inca civilisation, was built and flown succesfully in Nazca in 1975 by the International Explorers Society; Briton Julian Nott piloted Condor I to 300 feet.”
From “Nazca journey to the sun” by Jim Woodman, 1977.
