  4. "China appears to have suspended its surveillance balloon program following a major diplomatic incident earlier this year, when one of the country’s high-altitude spy balloons transited the United States, multiple sources familiar with US intelligence assessments told CNN."

    "The FBI concluded its analysis of the balloon’s remnants earlier this year, and the Pentagon announced in June that the US government assessed that the balloon did not collect intelligence while flying over the country."

    Honestly imo the second quote, (read the article for more), that is a lot of behind covering going on. On both China and the US side. They also still refuse to release information about the 2 other shoot downs.

  10. You can create your own fictitious Spy #Balloon and track it using real atmospheric data.

    The one I launched from southern Mexico didn't quite make it home. I think it crashed, or was shot down, not far from Japan.

    This whole incident reminds me of this vintage 1979 episode of "Project U.F.O." - "The Whitman Tower Incident" (S2E12)

    If you don't want the watch the whole poorly recorded episode you can skip to 38:10 for the explanation

    Apparently the Project TV series was based on actual Project BLUE BOOK casefiles.

  14. The best way to identify a UFO is to shoot it down.

  15. I was thinking that it was pretty cool that an F-22 pilot gets to paint a balloon under his cockpit, but now three of his colleagues get to paint '?' on their planes, and that's somehow almost cooler.
