David Breashears is a world renown mountaineer, filmmaker, and motivational speaker. I just finished reading Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer and I thought this was very interesting.
Breashears was taking over 400 photos of the fabled “ceiling of the world” when he noticed a peculiar object flying way above the peak. At 29,029 feet, Mt. Everest’s summit is comparable to the cruising altitude of many jets.
However, in such a remote part of the world, what could have been photographed flying so high? Helicopters cannot ascend that well in the oxygen depleted environs of the Himalayas, and drones cannot currently reach those heights.
