Seeking B727 crew to record floating bulb

Before they are all parked, looking for a recording to show the non-believers.
Remove a large bulb from spare bulb kit.
Open gasper vent below sliding window to full open with upward angle
Hold bulb in airstream, let go, and it floats in place
Post to YouTube

Never saw a 727 up close, let alone fly one... However, I think I saw a video like this somewhere. I thought it was in a 737 though. Wouldn't it work there as well?

I'm just curious: how was this phenomenon originally discovered?
