1 one day in 1777, Joseph Montgolfier, sitting in front of the fire, noticed that one of his shirts had started to float upwards. 2 He did some experiments and came to the conclusion that smoke had the power to lift things up and carry them through the air. 3 The Montgolfier brothers quickly realised that it was heat and not smoke that had the power to lift things. 4 On 19th September 1783, they presented their first hot-air balloon, which was made from paper and cloth. 5 They burned some straw underneath it and the heat helped the balloon to float. 6 A sheep, a duck and a chicken were in the basket that hung below the balloon for the two-mile journey and they landed safe and sound. 7 Shortly afterwards, the brothers asked the king for permission to send men up in the balloon. 8 The king agreed, and the first flight consisting of human passengers took place in Paris on 21st November 1783, with great success.
