I’m not at all sure what it was, but it’s no contrail.

It looks more like a rocket contrail. A jet contrail isn’t as large and doesn’t enlarge and breakup that quick.

Wild conspiracy theories? The public is justified in being concerned about these balloons flying over. Speculation on their purpose is understandable considering the government’s lack of communication or action.

The video, which appears to show a jet contrail

"Reporters" shouldn't speculate on things way out of their field of expertise.

I saw multiple videos from different perspectives. It looked like something on fire burning as it was descending. But, you really can’t trust anything you see unless it’s in person, even then keep your guard up.

Video of Alleged...

Looks as if the stupid runs deep in this article so I figured I’d stop right there and come in and complain...

The video clearly shows that this is government swamp gas or the planet Venus dancing in the sky.

stoke the flames of conspiracy

"Conspiracy"? What's the conspiracy? Journos need to quit using big words that they don't understand.
