Chinese have taken credit and it has been tracked since they lifted it but we couldn't complain until it was over US. We aren't even talking about the one over Latin America.dreamtheater76 wrote: ↑February 4th, 2023, 3:45 pm And just because the ballon was made in China doesn’t mean the Chinese are responsible. Maybe it’s The Russians AGAIN? My guess is Deep State until proven otherwise which won’t happen ever.
Russia doesn't need balloons they have high res satellites. The only thing this could track that satellites couldn't might be local radio comm but since they own land in about every state, why put up a balloon that only has a life time of weeks. Cannot put a $B sensor on a balloon, makes no sense. It's a toss away. and to keep things lite, there is almost no power consumption, you don't see big solar panels on that thing do you? Their too heavy, as are batteries. We're talking floating at speed of wind. Cannot be too technically useful, but surely politically useful.
