Flogos - Advertising in the Skies

Already there are a lot of people out there who claim to have seen UFO or other strange sights in the skies. Now the competition stiffens. Flogos have entered the race. Flogos are basically flying custom logos.





Made from a soap based foam, the Flogos are filled with gases such as helium rather than air. Once it comes out of the machine it floats away.They can travel 20-30 miles and go as high as 20,000 thousand feet. They travel slow so they are very visible for a long time. They are also environmentally safe.

This patented project has been created by the Snowmasters research and development facility in Northern Alabama. It was founded in the late 1990's by two international special effects inventors, Francisco Guerra and Brian Glover.

The next time you look up to the sky this is what you'd say,

It's not a bird
It's not a plane
...
No it's not superman
It's a Flogo.

Companies that compete for billboard space are surely gonna love this skyboard advertising.
