Get out. It sounds like somebody in the Observer was taken in by a scam.

We have adequate defense with radars and satellites.

Last time I was motorcyling past White Sands, there were several large white blimps floating on the horizon.

Invisible to radar,cheaper than orbit, and they can stay up for quite some time
