That’s exactly what I think too! What the heck is going on with the Gov?
The balloon shot down off the Carolinas was a conventional high-altitude balloon with props and electric motors for maneuvering.
The three smaller objects have nothing to do with my propellor comment, and probably nothing to do with the first balloon, as would be clear from the verbiage to any fifth grade reader.
You’re weird, and kind of a stalker, too. Stop directing comments to me.
“...Biden would only allow the downing of these devices when they were over water so that it would no be likely that a complete recovery of the device would be made.”.
Well, the large hot air balloon shot down off the Carolinas was purposefully downed over the shallow water adjacent to the coast. Some recovery has already been done and all significant parts should be recovered eventually. It is probably easier to recover from the ocean in those circumstances than from a western mountain range, for example.
Recovery of the smaller devices will be a greater challenge. The one near Deadhorse Bay that fell on the ice seems like it would be easy to find but nothing is easy in that weather.
i think we have bigger problems then just random shooting down some balloon or object that is around. someone on another thread said these balloons could be ham radio operators launching them to see how far they can receive there signal.. who knows.
Like the Hoka?
Star-faring teddy bears with a star drive that arrive to colonize earth, armed with edged weapons and match locks....
From a series of SF stories by Gordon Dickson and Poul Anderson.
