General tendency of a homogeneous floating balloon in a wind current

[QUOTE="jeremyjr, post: 4639786, member: 499864"] This problem general claim is an extension of one more simple claim, that the professional people mentioned before were denying and I then "extended" to a more general case. This is the more restricted claim: [B]An elongated homogeneous axially symmetric balloon will never float in a wind current consistently pointing its axis in the direction of the wind speed.[/B] This is clearly a particular case of the more general problem claim, because a section of maximal drag for such elongated balloon will be a position with its axis perpendicular to the wind flow. There is plenty of evidence supporting this more restricted claim, you just have to observe balloons in fly to realize that. But these professional people were forcefully denying that, even on the face of evidence. I want to confirm, even in more restricted conditions the general case on this problem main claim. Of course I wan to prove, by using an impartial arbiter, that all these people are wrong or that I am wrong. Let me add here that even when this statement looks [B]very simple and innocuous[/B] it have very important implications, [B]for example in surveillance[/B] and that was actually the genesis of this "dispute", if these people that are claiming the opposing view are in charge of the security of a very sensitive installation and they see an elongated balloon above or close to the installation moving consistently along its axis these people will dismiss it as a "normal" balloon, but if my claim holds, and I believe that it will, these people should be fired from their position as security consultants for their lack of physical intuition and insight.
