Wouldn’t that make it an identified balloon?

Formerly known as 🎈

What about the other 98?
Oh they are all Chinese /s

Maybe the owner called and asked if anyone had seen his balloon.
Wondering that too. I love how many people contributed to that article with so little content.
It was intercepted by a fighter jet.

I’m curious what the frequency of these types of balloons are and if it’s increasing or we’re just more focused on them. There were supposedly some tweaks to sensors last year that started to include balloons and other objects that would have been previously filtered out as noise in the data. So, they’re at least probably getting detected more often. If it’s a matter of being more focused on them, then I wonder what risks they’re concerned about.

So really, all we have to do is modulate the shield frequency and we’re good. :)
But why not just reverse the polarity of the primary power coupling?
I don’t know but I am absolutely sure the final solution will include the main deflector dish.
More focused for sure. I see a good amount of people who use weather balloons as private individuals in my expirences in the amateur radio communites.

It’s a dangerous time to be an amateur balloonist.

Cool. Then shoot it down.
How is it not a threat to flight safety? Seems like if you hit it with an airplane it would foul the turbines.
