You’d think that, after all these years, the Government would be able to come up with something a bit more “entertaining” than “balloons”.
I mean, really, we spend trillions of dollars, and all these guys come up with is balloons?
Why not something exotic like an atmospheric anamoly as a result of the shuttle launch which resulted in a temporary refraction of gamma radiation - blue shifted and materialised - which gave then the appearance of a translucent spherical object.
Sounds like BS and it is - but at least its better than - UFO? = it is a Balloon!
