Students at an English private school are hoping the public can help them find a teddy bear that went missing after being sent up into the stratosphere and falling back to Earth.
Bradford Bear, a beloved toy belonging to Walhampton School in Hampshire, recently went on an incredible journey! As part of a science project, the school sent the bear soaring into the sky attached to a weather balloon, with help from the Southampton University Spaceflight Society.
Okay, so our school did this amazing project! The seventh and eighth graders attached a camera and parachute to a weather balloon and launched it from Lymington. The video is incredible – it shows the balloon going way up, almost 16.7 miles high! Then, something knocked it off course, and it came crashing back down to Earth. It was so cool to watch!
UPI reports that Bradford, a toy astronaut, was supposed to parachute down near Basingstoke along with a shipment of other toys, but it never showed up. Teachers now think it might have landed somewhere between Earley and Fawley, and are asking the public to help find it.
Bradford Bear’s space flight ends in hunt for missing teddy
Walhampton School used a Facebook post to ask the community for help finding Bradfield Bear, who has been missing for almost two weeks after floating away with a balloon. The post shared a picture of the bear right before he drifted off.
The school is asking for the public’s help to find a beloved toy that’s gone missing. They think it might be somewhere near Henley-on-Thames and would be grateful for any information about its whereabouts. Photos or details about where it might be seen would be especially helpful as the search goes on.
I’m really worried about him, and the school is asking anyone who might have even the smallest piece of information about where he is to please come forward. They said anything – even a quick video or a small detail – could help bring him home.
Ellie Robinson, a science teacher, told the BBC that Bradford did “exceptionally well” on the mission and wants students to know the bear is “very courageous and capable” while teams continue to look for him.
