Anonymous Coward User ID: 64755452 United States 02/03/2023 07:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Busting That Chinese Spy Balloon Is Harder Than You Think (Updated) UPDATE 9:30am 3rd Feb: China is now claiming that the balloon is "a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes" and that it has "eviated far from its planned course." Which is exactly the same excuse that the U.S. gave for the 'weather balloons' in its spying program in the 1950s. [link to www.forbes.com (secure)] The military needs to build a boomerang drone that can be fired from a high altitude aircraft to slice through something like this, and then once it has contacted the target, guided to a safe landing spot. |

User ID: 80483752 United States 02/03/2023 07:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the balloon were to spontaneously deflate, it'd be hard to predict its path downward. A 20 mile square would be a good guess, but no guarantees. Our planet has a few congested zones, but it's mostly farms and forests. Murphy's Law comes into play, I suppose. Montana would've been the ideal place to force a landing. There's some stuff hanging from the bottom of the balloon. Blast it to confetti and the "debris" concern would be eliminated. Except then we wouldn't get to examine the gadgetry. The gadgetry is likely benign, in my opinion, but I'm still curious. There's only one thing we can be certain about: they (and "they" includes everyone associated with this event) aren't being honest with us. |

Quoting: Zell Xan Some of that stuff will drop like rocks while other bits will fall like sheets of cloth or plastic. Doesn't a feather fall at the same speed as a brick? all objects free fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. Because the 9.8 N/kg gravitational field at Earth's surface causes a 9.8 m/s/s acceleration of any object placed there, we often call this ratio the acceleration of gravity. |

Quoting: ElectricDuck I remember once when I was a kid we let a bunch of silver balloons go up outside McDonalds. The next town got completely destroyed, buildings blown up, everyone dead. I'm surprised we don't hear about this more often. Balloons are dangerous. Went to Party City store for balloon. They made me do background check! |

Quoting: Zell Xan Some of that stuff will drop like rocks while other bits will fall like sheets of cloth or plastic. Granted. But that debris couldn't hurt anyone. It would amount to littering. They could've shot it down over an unpopulated area when it was over the Midwest. There is something going on they won't tell us. |
