What is the bubble-like bag of a hot air balloon called?
One can hardly believe it but this part of the balloon is known as the envelope. The structure of it is a bit more complex than that one of an envelope you imagined as it has more sections.
The bottom (skirt) of such a compound "envelope" is made of another material. This material is flame resistant and holeproof.
Finally, the top of it is made of fabric with silicone coating.

Dennis Ray McCorkendale II, I got it wrong too. I know next to nothing about hot air balloons...
Alice Wilson
Guessed right...
Johnny Rock
Easy if you use good sense and eliminate those obvious things that they could not be.
Dennis G Horvath
I got it right by guessing it would be the most common.

I'm kinda weirded out on you're statement Dennis, I tend not to call you names in front of your baby son so I'll wonder when QC actually puts these things up.. If what you say is true then you certainly were the first to vote and comment but if it goes the way I've played it, then the puzzle.. I mean, how can it set up from zero then give you the option to try another one? Very strange how this operates but in any case I'll applaude your early rising.. if it's true.

If you read carefully envelope is the only answer that makes sense, couldn't be basket, burned

my goodness, just have some fun with this, if you want a game that can't access google - find one :)....... comments are nice to learn from as well- just take the negative out of it and have a good day! I agree, some didn't have to look it up.. just hopefully most people try to resist Google first and see the correct answer after answering. don't push the envelope.......
