Oh wow, that's messed up. Kind of irritating to see the thing was being closely tracked all through BC and just... nothing? Nice...

- dendrite9 4y agoI mean we only know what we know so far. I admittedly haven't followed this really closely but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a gamble that the public wouldn't notice it. Or maybe it was incompetence or indecision. It was surprising how this balloon spread through the public consciousnesses, kinda like the balloon boy hoax I suppose.
- amatecha 4y agoYeah, we have no real vision into the actual facts, only what gets told to the public, so it's tough to judge. I can imagine it not even being a surveillance balloon at all (though it probably is). I'm always skeptical around stuff like this, haha
- wkat4242 4y agoMaybe they weren't sure at that point that it was unmanned? Shooting it down would have been a whole different story then
