![]() ![]() From Aviation Week, "Hobby Club's Missing Balloon Feared Shot Down By USAF": The club's silver-coated, party-style, "pico balloon" reported its last position on Feb. 10 at 38,910 ft. off the west coast of Alaska, and a popular forecasting tool--the HYSPLIT model provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)--projected the cylindrically shaped object would be floating high over the central part of the Yukon Territory on Feb. 11. That is the same day a Lockheed Martin F-22 shot down an unidentified object of a similar description and altitude in the same general area.The government and media spent days acting like they shot down alien spacecraft before admitting they were full of hot air. "The intelligence community's current assessment is that these three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation, or research institutions studying weather or conducting other scientific research," Joe Biden acknowledged in a speech from the White House on Thursday.
