    A diamond engagement ring is mounted on a small dark platform or holder, photographed against the curvature of the Earth from high altitude, likely carried by a weather balloon into the stratosphere. The Earth's atmosphere is visible as a thin blue line along the horizon, with cloud cover below. This appears to be a creative proposal or romantic gesture captured at near-space altitude.

    A proposal ring floats in approximately 90 thousand feet in the atmosphere above Earth on Aug. 31, 2019. Capt. Stuart Shippee, a 393rd Bomb Squadron B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber pilot assigned to Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, symbolically launched an imitation engagement ring from Missouri to propose to his girlfriend—now fiancée—Marie Lisman.

    A man is kneeling on one knee in a field of yellow wildflowers, appearing to propose to a red-haired woman. The woman is holding up a decorated white cooler with stickers and caution tape, displaying a surprised or shocked expression. The ring box is visibly held in the man's hand as part of what appears to be a marriage proposal.
    A couple poses together in a field of yellow wildflowers with a cornfield in the background. The woman, with long red hair, is riding piggyback on the man, who is wearing a plaid flannel shirt. Both are smiling broadly at the camera in what appears to be an outdoor portrait session.
