After reviewing the history of the early research on gas in the Milky way halo, observational methods to investigate the halo are described. The meaning of the concepts Halo and HVC is discussed and selectional bias in databases is pointed out. The essentials of the interpretation of observed velocities are given. The scanty information on distances of HVCs is reviewed and an outlook is given on the possibilities to firmly settle the distance of at least a few HVCs.
