badlucktroll think scawey
Pretty much that's what I'm thinking it is. I mean there's the old saying "When you hear hooves think horses not zebra" and when I hear this stuff drones seem way more likely than anything else.

Imagine if these balloons were tests by china to see if they can detect the F22.. and the US just obliged them multiple times..

Knowing where they were intercepted in affect tells china where their weaknesses are. Also that one balloon crossed all the way to north carolina...

The data collected from flyovers may have been assessed to be worse.

They are fighting Ukraine with WW2 level technology. What makes you think they are in any capacity to pull a stunt like this?

Algumas das possibilidades que são levadas em conta são a de fraude por parte das testemunhas e de terceiros, a de ilusão ou de um fenômeno convencional.

You never want these things to be aliens.
They would be so far beyond us in tech that if they planned to “Serve Man” we’d be absolutely fucked.
And like a lot of earth explorers, they are probably out looking for resources to reap.

If it were aliens, I hope they're like the Tyranids from 40K. That would be epic.
Lets do some math to figure how much you could lift with that. So I figure a typical small car is roughly 3 meters long, 2 meters wide and 1.5 meters high to give us 9 cubic meters. So that's 9000 liters. Lets see air is 22.4 liters per mol and gives usChuck Schumer: Two more flying objects shot down were likely balloons
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer claimed China was using a "crew of balloons" around the world.
9000/22.4 = 402molar volumes
To figure out lifting capability lets go with helium (atomic weight 4) so our difference is 28 -4 which means each molar volume lifts 24g/molar volume so doing more math
402*24 = 9643g of lift and converting that to ounces
9643/28 = 344
and then to lbs
344 /16 = 21.5 lbs
Ok, so a car sized balloon can lift about 21-22 pounds. I mean I guess with small enough electronics you could spy with that.

That's my guess. The Government isn't taking chances now because of the whole Chinese Balloon incident and are now over-correcting.

Object was shaped like an octagon. Wtf?
Oh my god, we’re being attacked by jiffy pop

The most surprising fact in this news isn't the UFO but that Uruguay still has an air force
