in zero gravity with a helium filled balloon?

There are many experiments conducted in this world all the time and most are quite complicated. However most of the more simple experiments have been done already somewhen and somewhere and answers to simple questions are found.
But how about this quite simple experiment?
What happens to a helium filled small balloon in zero gravity?
Possible answers:
1. It will float upwards (because it is lighter than air)
2. It will float randomly in all directions (because it is now without weight)
3. It will sink down (because ?)

This experiement was done recently and I will reveal the answer in a few days here on my Blog.

I encourage all readers to give me their answers with explanations here on this Blog also.

To make it a bit more interesting I want to tell you that so far nobody could explain the right answer scientifically or in other words logically.
How is that possible with such a simple question?

Maybe you are the one that can?

For those who cannot wait for my answer here on curezone I offer you the answer via email. Just contact me through my website

and I will try to reply asap.

My philosophical comment: How can we expect to solve the problems of this world if we cannot even answer or explain such a simple thing?
Is the answer too simple to be seen?
Blessings
