While being watched by the US military, thus giving it potentially valuable information on how China conducts its surveillance. It's turtles all the way down.

  For some reason a lot of people really want to believe that the military was all over it without any indication whatsoever. I guess it feeds from the need of knowing that someone(the correct one I guess?) is watching.

    > For some reason a lot of people really want to believe that the military was all over it without any indication whatsoever Not for me at least. I never claimed the military did anything (discovered it, surveilled it), just that it's possible that they could have done something without others knowing. I just think it's extremely bad form to assume things that there's no evidence for - both about the balloon and the military, and about why people are commenting.

      A lot of things are possible, like maybe the God really put the fossils in the soil and the world is just a few thousand years old. That said, I usually like to have at least a clue about that being the case. Also, Occam's Razor.

        I don't think we need to go off-topic and discuss theology here. Regarding Occam's Razor, it's pretty simple that the military keeps secrets.
