Synopsis for "The Balloon People"
A spaceship is picked up by the Trouble alert but it has a problem keeping a picture of the craft. When the craft lands is is shown that the craft is small but its occupants can inflate to normal human size. It turns out they have landed in the yard where Wonder Dog's doghouse is. They are quickly befriended and reveal that they left their native world because it was so polluted. Krim notes that Earth seems to to be headed for the same future his world of Balunia now has.
