If a 400 thousand dollar missile was used to shoot down $12 Dollar Ham Radio Balloon, this will be so embarrassing we may never hear from the government about it. It's strange we keep hearing they don't know what those objects were, yet they know they're not Chinese.
they should have shot it with a small caliber gun, so small the balloon would slowly deflate and land intact, of course thats in a perfect world.It would probably run out of gas way before it gets even close to the ground.
it's a sticky situation. If this is true, then launching high altitude hobby balloons is probably off limits from here on.73, Ed
I used to see a lot of Ballons when i was up doing bill board work. I had a number to call and report the.. Keeping it real..
