    Sounds like cheap recon to me, that balloon has to be way less expensive than a satellite launch. Easier to bring down than a sattleite of course, but if nobody is shooting at it, why spend the money to put something into geosynchronous orbit.

    Still hearing “war pigs” playing in the background of my mind.
    I prefer this version. The choice of music type really impacts the words of the song. I found the BS version distracting from the message and never truly understood the whole song as intended until I heard this cover. Its gorgeous and haunting. Forget the clown makeup. He has an AMAZING voice.

    How did norad not know this before it even got over our mainland and put it down?
    We were well aware of it LONG before it arrived in our space. Lets not kid ourselfs here.
    If we thought it was a true threat it would have been taken care of before it got here and the public would have no knowledge of it.

    I went bluewater sailing in 91 & 92, when I came back here I used a customs call in phone at Behia Mar Marina in Fort Lauderdale.
    The man on the phone told me what day I sailed into Va beach Intracoastal and on down the coast over to Bimini to do customs and immigration...
    He also told me that I had sailed sailed into Fort Lauderdale, into the Shanahan and then New River and strait to Behia Mar.

    He asked if I saw the weather balloons sailing down the coast? I said why yes I did.
    He said those weren't weather balloons.
    This was 30 years ago.
    They F'ing know.

    We were aware of radar detecting a large number of aircraft approaching Pearl Harbor in 1941, too.

    100% correct.

    And it has nothing to do with faith in the government. It's about having a grasp on reality.
