Charles Moffett, Middlebury Class of 1967, was one of the most highly regarded world authorities on Impressionism. As a curator at such prestigious institutions as New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and The National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and as director of the Phillips Collection in D.C., he organized widely celebrated solo exhibitions of the works of Van Gogh, Manet, Monet, and Gauguin. Following his museum appointments he served for sixteen years as Executive Vice President and Vice Chairman of Impressionist, Modern, and contemporary art at Sotheby’s. An inveterate collector of art of all periods and mediums with a particular interest in 19th-century European drawings, he and Lucinda Herrick, his widow, have given and bequeathed some seventy-five works of art to the Middlebury College Museum of Art. Those works, as varied and engaging as Moffett’s broad interests, are the subject of the exhibition A Story of Art, which opens at the Museum on Tuesday, September 5.

22 Warm Risers
25 Milky Spheres
46 No Difference
40 "Plastic" Shreds
24 Crystal Globes
I believe the best answer is "plastic shreds," as many of you with direct experience also attested. The other answers made either poetic or logical sense, but they don't match my own observations so far.
However, the answers aren't cut and dry, as you'll see in the videos and photos. There should be some healthy debate. We have may have discovered a Gap in Human Knowledge.
We can safely rule out "no difference" and "warm risers." I would argue that warm air doesn't lift bubbles higher because the air cools very quickly, and also the elastic walls of the bubble instantly expand to keep the pressure gradient constant. In other words, the air in the bubble can't stay less dense than the surrounding air long enough to lift it up. Soap bubbles are always heavier than air; bubbles only rise with air currents.
The descriptions involving hard frozen spheres in #2 and #5 are pure invention and wishful thinking. I'm not a chemist, but my understanding is that the glycerin which helps form the bubble membrane also interferes with the formation of the molecular latticework needed for hard crystallin
