The original ballon was large enough to be noticed and photographed by civilians on the ground.

Isn’t it a little TOO convenient that no civilians were out on Lake Huron in the middle of winter under the objects flight path to take a picture?

(/s, if that was necessary to clarify)

I’m suspecting the same aliens what sank the Edmund Fitzgerald myself (/s)

To explain to the rest of the class - right now Huron is a wind-whipped, cold, miserable place to be. It’s not surprising Johnny Fisherman isn’t out these days.

Is there a chance that this is a low-effort and low-risk way for China/whoever to further stir up drama in the US? "Where's the proof?" "They're making this up. I haven't seen a photo of the balloon..."

People don’t doubt the balloon exists though

Pretty sure I've seen comments on here questioning the existence of at least one of the reported balloons.
