Anyone Find this Balloon yet ? Let’s Find It!!! ![]()
I have Traffic In Sight installed for all the US regions. I’m going to be very busy checking out balloons if I get involved…
Is it unicorn-shaped? ![]()
Maybe a witch? ![]()
It really is a crazy looking ‘balloon’
My gut when I first saw it was ISS
ISS passing in front of the moon?
It’s so obviously Chinese, just look at it, stands out a mile, it has that unmistakable China look!!! How could anyone possibly think otherwise? Even has “Made in China” stamped on it ![]()
PS. Don’t tell anyone it might be Russian, North Korean, or Richard Branson ![]()
Just like every other consumer product in the world. ![]()
Moved to #gd-interests:real-life-aviation
I have just had the motherboard on my old Alienware laptop replaced by Dell. I was looking over the removed board and noticed that it was stamped with “Made in China”. How American is that ![]()
Wonder if there is any way to capture it intact? 60,000 might make that challenging though. Maybe punch a small hole it in so it slowly loses altitude.
It would be nice to reverse engineer one of their devices for a change.
They could. The CIA / Navy have used the The Fulton surface-to-air recovery system as far back as the 1960s. It shouldn’t been much harder to make it work for a balloon ? Maybe lol
i’ll get this out of the way:
Oh this is totally [Insert conspiracy theory] they’re totally looking for [arbitrary thing picked out from circumstance]. But “they” don’t want you to know that adjusts tin foil hat
Seriously though it’s actually probably just swamp gas
RIP Balloon! ![]()
When did the game forum become a news forum?
Today it seems.
It’s Aviation – Now all we need is a Captain Sim “Spy Balloon” –
If only there was already a suitable Balloon in MSFS to copy !!
some of the memes that come out of this are on point.
I tried to find this in MSFS with the Wombii Balloon, and I failed. Mainly because I couldn’t find the actual balloon and the unicorn ran out of “fuel”
