Today, Sunday, it was just announced that the balloon shot down past Myrtle Beach had the capacity to photo and send real time photos to whoever was on the receiving end. Also it is revealed that it had western made parts in its construction.
That brings up something else, just what was that cylinder object shot down over Canada? There was no balloon, altitude 40000 feet. Not an orbit. What was powering it and how was it flying. Odd to say the least!
BTW weather balloon weights are controlled by international laws. I believe the max is 12 pounds. The one we shot down was 1700 lbs.
We need to wake up folks
