I’m just gonna be open minded about it and not jump to conclusions. I could see the US gov making it into a big deal for reasons and I could see it being a balloon to take pics of bases, etc on the ground. Both seem like logical outcomes. I mean it could be a weather balloon but I sorta doubt it based on what I know about weather balloons (I’m an amateur weather nerd). But I could be wrong! I’ll admit that. Gotta keep an open mind.
You do realize China has satellites?
Of course. And you realize balloons can have an advantage over satellites in certain situations?
If balloons were a good way to spy on countries we'd see US balloons canvas the globe by now.
