What Is a Message in a Bottle?

In the 19 50 des, i think, loads of messages and bottles were put in the gulf of main. And that's where a lot of nautical maps we have now are based on those messages. A girl called laura buckston released a red balloon into the air with her home address but it disappeared after hitting a hedge. The person who picked it up saw the name and saw the address, and immediately went, what the hell was going on? It landed exactly with the same age, same name of the person. This is, this is mental floss. Real still happening.
