We have had some exciting times here in North America. At first we pretend we pretend they aren't there, as we don't want the bad guys knowing we can detect these systems at a distance. They tracked the first one for days across the continent. Now, NORAD has better capabilities in their radar systems and can weed out small things like balloons.
The US shot down one balloon last week over the water. It travelled on a diagonal across from western Canada to southeastern US.
People have begun creating memes for it.
My SIL tells us they are capable of acting like a phone satellite, which cannot be good for privacy issues, as well as darker plans.
There was another one was dispatched on the border between Alaska and Yukon. It landed on Canadian territory, and we will recover it and figure it out. Then, on a quiet Sunday afternoon, there was an alert about another one. They closed air space around it. It appeared to travel across the Great Lakes.
Boeing Stratotanker 'no call sign!'
The US sent out some interesting planes to track it before they shot it down over Lake Huron.
After that excitement, I took out the garbage this morning. Our week begins anew. I hope you have a good one.
