Are they rolling out Operation Blue Beam? UFOs, Balloon attacks???

More hype/distraction for the pleebs. Probably too many 3 letters telling the media to promote differing stories. But Ohio is okay... /s

Balloons are a metaphor for the debt. It is a message from the Chinese that the debt bubble will burst. The U.S. response (shooting balloons) is a clear message that the U.S. plans to continue printing paper money: essentially rejecting the Chinese protest.

Internet comment of the day imo: There is a perfect storm of exploding scandals that the public needs to be distracted from....so its UFO time.

If you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on [balloons], you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons. The point is that there has always been the ability to limit — rationally limit the type of weapon that can be owned and who can own it. ~President Biden

fearof.net: Fear of Balloons Phobia – Globophobia (https://www.fearof.net/fear-of-balloons-phobia-globophobia/)

Dec 2022
The word Globophobia originates from the Greek words Globo meaning ‘spherical in terms of balloons’ and ‘phobos which means deep dread or fear’.

People suffering from this phobia feel morbid fear at the thought, sight, touch or even smell of balloons. Most individuals, however, are only afraid of the sound made by the popping of balloons. As with any phobia, the symptoms of Globophobia vary depending on the roots of the fear. Some people might be able to withstand balloons while they are deflated. However, the moment one starts to inflate them; the sufferer feels anxious. In many cases, individuals are afraid of hot air balloons but can stand smaller balloons, water balloons etc...

Globophobia is often combined with the fear of clowns’ phobia. Clowns and balloons go hand-in-hand and, for a child attending an event having both these elements, the fears might merge together.Sun this last few weeks has been approaching maximum impact on our space weather that especially affects our upper atmosphere. Best time in near a decade for high altitude balloon research? Best time also then in near a decade for evil (excessively entropic) and anti-science upper atmosphere balloon trapshooting.

space.com: Sun storm may supercharge auroras for Valentine's Day (https://www.space.com/valentines-day-sun-storm-flare-auroras)

about 1 hour ago
A big solar outburst over the weekend might produce bright auroras here on Earth tonight (Feb. 14).

The sun blasted a powerful X-class flare into space on Saturday (Feb. 11), an outburst accompanied by an eruption of solar plasma known as a coronal mass ejection (CME)...

"Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Feb. 14 and 15 when one or more CMEs could deliver glancing blows to Earth's magnetic field," SpaceWeather.com wrote of the event.

aviationweek.com: Hobby Club’s Missing Balloon Feared Shot Down By USAF (https://aviationweek.com/defense-space/aircraft-propulsion/hobby-clubs-missing-balloon-feared-shot-down-usaf)

February 16, 2023
A small, globe-trotting balloon declared “missing in action” by an Illinois-based hobbyist club on Feb. 15 has emerged as a candidate to explain one of the three mystery objects shot down by four heat-seeking missiles launched by U.S. Air Force fighters since Feb. 10.

The club—the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade (NIBBB)—is not pointing fingers yet.

But the circumstantial evidence is at least intriguing. 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...

“I tried contacting our military and the FBI—and just got the runaround—to try to enlighten them on what a lot of these things probably are. And they’re going to look not too intelligent to be shooting them down,” says Ron Meadows, the founder of Scientific Balloon Solutions (SBS), a Silicon Valley company that makes purpose-built pico balloons for hobbyists, educators and scientists.

The descriptions of all three unidentified objects shot down Feb. 10-12 match the shapes, altitudes and payloads of the small pico balloons, which can usually be purchased for $12-180 each, depending on the type.

“I’m guessing probably they were pico balloons,” said Tom Medlin, a retired FedEx engineer and co-host of the Amateur Radio Roundtable show. Medlin has three pico balloons in flight in the Northern and Southern hemispheres...

Medlin says he uses a foil balloon sold by Japanese company Yokohama for $12. The material has proven to be resilient for long periods at high altitude, he says, even if the manufacturer never intended the balloon to be used for that purpose. An alternative is Meadows’ SBS, which makes a series of balloons designed specially for circumnavigational flights...

In fact, the pico balloons weigh less than 6 lb. and therefore are exempt from most FAA airspace restrictions, Meadows and Medlin said. Three countries—North Korea, Yemen and the UK*—restrict transmissions from balloons in their airspace, so the community has integrated geofencing software into the tracking devices. The balloons still overfly the countries, but do not transmit their positions over their airspace.

The community is also nervous that their balloons could be shot down next. Medlin says one of his balloons—call sign W5KUB-112—is projected by HYSPLIT to enter U.S. airspace on Feb. 17. It already circumnavigated the globe several times, but its trajectory last carried the object over China before it will enter either Mexican or U.S. airspace.

“I hope,” Medlin said, “that in the next few days when that happens we’re not real trigger-happy and start shooting down everything.”
