I wonder what the “strings hanging off it” actually means. Strings as in tethers, ropes, or cables? Strings would be invisible to pilots during fly-bys.
Word on the street is that Rudolf and his sleigh team have not returned from a training flight scheduled to fly over Alaska and Canada.
Atreides family children are horrified that this is getting so little attention.
How about focusing on the balloon with the large array that was allowed to traverse CONUS, NPR?
If everyone puts on their history ‘hats’....about a decade ago, the US military was all hyped up to get surveillance ‘blimps’. A developmental project started up.
I would wager....12 months into the project...someone left the company, and went overseas to provide the characteristics and insider info to a Chinese company.
This is simply recon balloons with some payload capability....probably shooting images, and relaying them to a 5G tower somewhere and being sent quietly back to a server in China.
strings or cords are often used by helpers to hold/maneuver a lighter than air craft.
Information is a good thing.

6 or 7 foot sections of narrow strips of aluminum foil cut from a commercial roll of aluminum foil. Good to make a larger radar image and to MAKE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION LOOKS LIKE THE IDIOTS THEY ARE,
I’ve never seen such a HUGE OVERREACTION to follow and compensate for a HUGE UNDERREACTION.
The DOD is beclowning itself on behalf of a geriatric chinese puppet at this point.

“What we know about 4 recent shootdowns”? That they’re distractions to have us look away while the Wizard pulls his levers.
Has something like that been suggested? If so, that would be very interesting.;-)
Makes one wonder if some college kids have created these UFOs as class experiments.
When I was a kid we used to create makeshift Chinese lanterns to spook people. Unfortunately, they always crashed before reaching any real height.
Government explanation: SHUT UP!!!!
I bet you’re right about ‘someone’ going over to China with the tech.
YOU TOO CAN DESIGN AND LAUNCH A UFO.
Your payload can be some thin balsa wood to which you can staple 6 foot X 1 inch strips of aluminum foil cut from your kitchen roll.

The training must be intense for the F22 and F35 pilots in the arduous task of shooting down a lighter than air craft. They could have just done a fly by and the jet wash would have destroyed the thing.
For a couple hundred bucks, you could really screw with the government. Make them use a $400k sidewinder missile to shoot it down. Plus another $100k for the cost of the jet for an hour. LOL.
