Interesting flight patterns over the Dakotas/MN border, not like we have anything near Grand Forks that anyone would care about.......

Seriously, why are there a few dozen "UofND" planes flying about right now?

It's like nobody hear listens to George Knapp or anyone who's been saying "the propulsion tech exists, it's not a question of if but how, who and why"

I recall there being myths of third Reich cigar UFOs.

Maybe Blue Beam is in effect.

There are absolutely hard rules about national airspace, what the hell do you think the ICAO exists for?

The internet is a lot more sensitive than it used to be. I wish we had the wild-west of early 2000s back.
Not to mention the non "diverse" members of a team. I feel marginalized for being a conservative technologist, even though I'm a PoC.
It's a herring; a distraction signal for which the CCP can garner analysis of the United States decision response calculus. If US were to attack the balloon, it would set a jurisdictional precedent bringing into question many considerations of the disputed Taiwanese and South China Sea airspace, perhaps even geo-sync satellites.

Nobody's talking about the spy sats that are further up, balloon is just a caricature to drum up support for either side, humiliate one party, etc.

War never changes.

great, now they'll nuke this too.
Reminds me of the "crazy" conspiracy theory about child trafficking and the "Aquariums" found all across Google Maps.
