A Mystery Balloon

Another balloon has been spotted floating over the US. NORAD spotted it in Nevada and sent jets up to investigate. They say it is not a threat because it is only 50 feet tall and does not have a rudder.. They do not know where this came from. They don't know who sent it. They don't know what the payload consists of. My question is if NORAD does not know anything about it, how do they know it is not a threat? The payload could be a biological agent or even fentanyl. It could be remote-controlled.

These things would be very worrying to the authorities.

I see it as an invasion of our air space.

Knowing our government, it’s something they did, and just don’t have record of it on hand.

That is always possible. I would not put anything past them.

I think the world is becoming to paranoid for their own good. If Norad isn't concerned, they have their reasons.

@akalinus If it is, it is. If not, not. What's speculating and worrying about it going to do? It could be a weather balloon or something like that. It could be there to collect data, so science can better understand how the Earth's working (or not working). How do you think science studies the atmosphere, how we track storms etc?

NORAD is the agency that tracks Santa Claus every year. I wonder if they are right about the balloon being no threat but what if it is?

@RebeccasFarm I think I know what group you mean but why would they launch a balloon? What do you think they would get from it?

It could be anything or nothing. I wonder who launched the thing.

I don't understand. They know nothing about who, what, why, but they know it is not a threat.

@akalinus I think we cannot trust authorities.

@LadyDuck I think you are right. I think they are just guessing and hoping for the best.

You're right about the biological agent. They should check the balloon thoroughly. Have a good day.

They would have to get the balloon down to see what is in the payload box.

The box under the balloon is way too small to hold a person.
