Title-The Invisible Force
The voiceover says that the RAF Fylingdales golf balls were built to transmit and receive radio signals. There is a shot of the three large units on the horizon.
The voiceover says that another unseen energy is wind and then there is a shot of a hand reaching for a copy of `The Concise Oxford Dictionary' and opening it on the meaning of the word 'wind'. He says that wind comes from changes in atmospheric pressure and there is a shot of a chart with isotopes representing wind strength.
He continues on to say that wind can be seen by the movement of things in nature. This is followed by a sequence of brief shots: steam coming from a steam train, long grass blowing in the wind, the wind rippling the water, some small sail boats sailing in the sea, a wind turbine going around and around, and close up shots of a man playing a trumpet. The voiceover points out where the wind goes in the instruments and shows the buttons.
He says that wind is also an irritation for filmmakers when they are trying to film something that won't stay still. There are shots of some plants and flowers blowing gently in the wind. A table has been set up outside with bottles of Milk of Magnesia, Andres Antacid, boxes of Alka-Seltzer and Solvol.
Title-The End.
