Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! I got to get my lawn chair ... hydrogen ... some weather ballon ... moon pies ... RC cola ... and my beloved .22 LR S&W 18-2. Yeah boy! Like the old Air Force recruiting poster once said, "Aim High!" With any luck, I can deflate that chicom camera operation and get down in time to make the 6 PM news!!! Even better, I can put the video up on YouTube and make enough money to pay my FFA fine! Sounds like a plan! Gonna need some wool socks. M-65 jacket with liner. I'll supply the .22 LR ammo. Sincerely. bruce.
Hmmmm.
Maybe they just can't wait and they're watching the filming of "Yellowstone" episodes before the networks make them available to us? Just watching Beth Dutton and "Rip" would make it all worthwhile!
Cheers!

If they were gathering intelligence, the odds say they came away empty-handed.
Maybe trying to bait us into shooting it down so that they could collect intelligence on our weapon systems.
Why a balloon when we own their TV’s, washing machines, refrigerators, chips, auto parts, cell phones, computers, windmills, etc etc etc?

LOL. You're a bad influence- I got "infracticated" for posting an image of someone in a bomber doing just that, thus causing TomS to get his "demooner tool" out and remove it.
I heartily endorse the idea, though
If it was over West Virginia it would be
A tarp for a wood pile by now.

From one of our papers up here. The ususal "boilerplate text" stuff:
'"...The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces issued a joint statement Thursday night that says the balloon’s movements were being actively tracked by the North American Aerospace Defence Command...
It says Canadians are safe and that Canada is taking steps to ensure the security of its airspace, including the monitoring of a potential second incident.
“NORAD, the Canadian Armed Forces, the Department of National Defence, and other partners have been assessing the situation and working in close coordination,” says the statement.
“Canada’s intelligence agencies are working with American partners and continue to take all necessary measures to safeguard Canada’s sensitive information from foreign intelligence threats.”
...Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, provided a brief statement, saying the government continues to track the balloon. ...
He said similar balloon activity has been seen in the past several years. He added that the U.S. took steps to ensure it did not collect sensitive information...
I wonder how they "took steps to ensure it did not collect sensitive information"? The hurried camouflaging of missile silos as Walmarts?It says Canadians are safe and that Canada is taking steps to ensure the security of its airspace, including the monitoring of a potential second incident.

We had a number of High Altitude Balloon Programs.
Knew a PI (Photo Interpreter ) who worked the film.They were primarily looking for ICBM Sites.
Rule one was don’t add a site already seen.
The problem was balloons stumbled around with the wind and the sites were mostly in remote stretches of Russia.
So when they saw a site it was difficult to precisely locate it.
When they worked aircraft film like from a U2, which he also did, you have a flight plan -route on a map as a reference .

It's collecting e mail addresses to sell to generic viagra and ED companies so they can fill our inboxes.
The Catch A Falling Star program wasn't particularly successful. Apparently the AF wasn't much of an outfielder. I think the Navy should snag it with an F-18 tailhook and drag it home.
The sooner people realize that the “news” is nothing more than things/the narrative that our government wants us to be exposed to, the sooner we we may begin to do something about the mess we’re in. And I mean all of the “news” that we’re hearing from any mainstream outlet. We are better served to think about what we are not being told, and why, than to try to reason with what is being fed to us.
I think there's a note tied to it that says Joe Loves Cindy Forever.

I'd be more concerned about native spies on their payroll. There are plenty of other Johnny Walkers out there. All the electronics with spyware, or some sort of components they can quickly disable with the right signal.

I just heard that our revered Secretary of State hs cancelled his scheduled visit to China because of the balloon affair.
