The Northern Lights

  “isn't there some way to possibly send up some kind of very strong weather balloon or something like this and attach high density camera's to these balloons to study these lights ? other than launching a missle which only gives us such a limited time frame to study these effects and retrieve more information on this field ? I am not sure of the available materials that could be used to get up to the 5 miles up into this lower atmosphere where these lights seam to appear to generate from but if something like a high tech weather balloon could possibly even be attached to some kind of a high tech wire even to keep it stationary ? since these lights seam to be to low in our atmosphere to monitor or study with a satelite since this has to be too high to study these lights ? just an idea? ”
