No, this isn't a mistake of the winds, it's China up to some nefarious activity. Correct me if I'm wrong, but no other country reported its' presence. How could that possibly be, considering the thousands of miles it needed to travel to get here?
It's waaay too high to be shot down with a 50 cal...

And no one reported it because it traveled over the pacific ocean to get to the west coast...
