This may seem very wierd but still I believe that it is true now I cannot remember the exact same details but you will get the picture. This is what happened. A girl some place in america I think mother told her to tie a card to a baloon with her address and name and the words write me back on it. So some time later she gets a letter from a girl with the exact same name? Weird huh? Well at first her parents say that it says too her name not from but she finally convinces them that it is from the girl to her with the exact same name. Turns out they left a phone number on it so she could call and see what this was all about I be the other family was just as suprised. Here is what happened the baloon floated for seven hundred miles into England. But the wierdness does not stop there. They meet and find out that they are they exact same age, their parents got married in the exact same year, they are the same height and have the exact same body type, they both have brown eyes, both have a three year old black labrador, both have a guigne pig, and they had other pets to cannot remember though that were the same. Now ho is this even possible I do not know. Maybe it is real maybe it is not. I saw this on Ripleys Believe it Or not.
So do you believe? |

Ooh, Ripley's Believe it or not!
It's a great series, but personlly, I prefer the books they make. I've actually heard a similar story about long lost twins that meet and find out they've been living scarily similar lives. (Husbands share a name, named their kids the same things, and actually died on the same day.). Read it in a childrens Encyclopaedia. I think with stories like these you're inclined not to believe them because it's so unusual and such a massive coincidence it seems extremely unlikely, but then, at the same time, it IS possible... Who knows? |

This is definitely weird, but I don't think this is the weirdest thing in the world.
There are so many weird things in the world! To me, something weirder was a story about this girl in India who grew up thinking she was someone else with another name, another life, another family, even a husband and a child. At first the parents thought that she was just a very imaginative child. But the girl was consistent in relating herself to her 'other identity' so they got worried. They went to do some checking up and found out about another person of the same name that the child kept referring herself to, who was already deceased, but had exactly the same life, family members, husband and even children of the same name as the girl had related. And the girl couldn't have found these out through thorough research, because she was already relating herself to this stranger when she was a young child below 10. Is there really an afterlife and could she be the reincarnation of that woman? And if there really is something called reincarnation, why did she still remember her past life clearly. This is something that is truly baffling. |

Oh! I also watch ripley! They are great and many more unbelieveable thing on their show! This is completely weird! How is that possible! I mean the chance that another girl receive the letter would very little compare to england population! and how do the balloon air survive from usa to england! That sound really weird in one word!

i don't think the ballon would survive all the way to england, because of all the storms, winds, and when it rises up to a certain height it pops, so this is pretty imposible, but it is very very wierd if this did happen

I think there are definately some weirder things.
I read (in my children's Encyclopaedia haha) that there was a man hit by a cab on a street in america the cab driver and passenger were fine, but the man was killed. Ten years later, that man's sun was killed in a car accident. He had been crossing the street his father died on when struck down by a cab, but not just any cab. The same cab that hit his father ten years ago, and even weirder, the cab was being driven by the cab driver's son, carrying the son of the passenger that was in the cab when the man's father was killed ten years previous. Now as far as coincidences go, that's pretty weird! |

Weird is more of a perspective. I guess its weird, but not the weirdest in the world. There are many weird things, however, some are bizzare, and some are set up to amaze you. Anyways, as far as weirdest in the world, that definatly could be NEAR the top, but definatly n ot the top. There are a lot of weirdos in our world, and a lot of strange unexplanable things, just like the huge giant squid/shark dinosaur they found in japan a couple years ago. All weird, also h ow we know more about the space, and everything else then what happens in those way way way down deep trenches and drop offs of the world.

There's some big debate on how everyone said that space was the "final frontier" and now they want to change it. Did you know that up to over 3/4 of the worlds animals exist in the Amazon rainforest as undiscovered species? |

I don't know about you but I cannot belive in this story firstly because I am doubting that it would be so much of concidence to ttravel the ocean and find the same girl with same name same age, same pets and I don't know what the same ti would be like you found almost the same persons on the other side of globe.
And other reason is that probably balloons cannot fly that long because if they are inflated with helium it will eventually go out and ballon will fall on the ground and if this was doen by yung girl she probably didn't gave it much though about how strong should she tie it but the thing is that to this balloon I would give at msot 3 or up to 4 hours, before it hits the ground. So in conclusion it must have been really fast to reach england and find the girl with so much of sam edata |
