Luke Geissbuhler attached an HD video to a weather balloon and sent it into the air with the hopes that it would reach the upper stratosphere and capture footage of the blackness of space.

this is great - what a top dad!
this is the same sort of thing, but they took photos and put them together to make a 360 panorama
Yeah, a father-son combo acheives more than any tin foil nutter has so far. They didn't even demand investment!

That horizon is beautiful,
This is what dads are meant to do with their kids.
Next time, up goes the hamster.

My guess would be the iphones GPS transmitting data and interfering with camera

well there was the classic phone interference noise at one point, but i'm more with triky, just was weird that is was rhythmic almost like morse code or something and not random data burst as you would figure it'd be picking up more than one satellite at that altitude

Always fun
Interesting
Sounded like a little engine.
They probably had a mini propeller they 'accidentally' forgot to mention
That was amazing.
