20,000 feet and the flame was still going????
If the wind speed is 100km/h you wouldn’t notice it as you would be traveling at the same speed as the wind. Your ground speed would be 100km/h though.20,000 feet and the flame was still going????
Not to mention the winds at that altitude!
Maybe the plane was flying at 200 feet . . . Just sayin' . . .
There are fuels that contain "non oxygen oxidizers" so they do not require external oxygen. Hydrogen and chlorine will work for example (under a few other simple conditions I won't include here). A lot these idiots have enough brains to manufacture this, just not enough brains to not launch them in the first place.

For the record, I am entirely in favor of the use of hypergolic fuels for chinese lanterns. And Zeppelins. You just can’t go wrong with hypergolics these days.
