- noduerme 4y agoSure. It's not as weird an assumption when the White House spokespersons are having to repeatedly state that these aren't aliens, while other officials clarify that they're not balloons. I live near enough to PDX to hear the fighter sorties take off. It's normally pretty infrequent that you'll hear a whole series of them. The ones that hunted the object over Montana took off from here on Friday. Heard them again today around noon. Based on no information whatsoever, anything might be true.

An absence of information breeds all sorts of crackpot theories, rarely generated according to Occam's razor. The most prosaic explanations of all of these are that we're looking at balloons, released to study weather, winds etc. However, unless the government releases some images of what they saw, the new-age fringe will immediately jump to the conclusion of little green men from zeta reticuli.
