Help with DARPA red balloon challenge

Friends:

Sorry, this message is kinda spammy but is not a joke.

DARPA (DoD) is launching 10 red balloons in continental US just today (Dec 5th 2009) to understand how people collaborate and use social media to solve problems. The challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of 10 moored, 8-foot, red, weather balloons at 10 fixed locations in the continental United States. The balloons will be in readily accessible locations and visible from nearby roads - so couldn't think of anyone better to turn to.
DARPA reference: networkchallenge dot darpa dor mil (replace the word dot with a . as the message board does not allow me to post links)

Please pass the word and this email to help my team. If you see a RED balloon with a number like the one attached to this email, report the location (exact address or GPS co-ordinates if possible) of the balloon to: redballoon@stratofox.org

We are not in it for the money but the challenge!
Thank you
