- irthomasthomas 4y agoIt had multiple antennas? Holy cow that's bad. That definitely rules out weather balloons then.
- BobbyJo 4y agoDoes it not? Or are you being sincere?
- irthomasthomas 4y agoSorry for the sarcasm, but, honestly, I think it's pretty obvious to most adults that an aerial, or even multiple aerials on a balloon does not rule out it being a weather balloon.
- BobbyJo 4y agoWhat could rule that out in your mind then? Seems to me that if it had hardware that didn't serve any purpose with regard to weather data collection, calling it a weather balloon is, at the very least, an incomplete description, if not intentionally deceptive branding. Especially when said hardware has very clear use cases for intelligence collection.
