Hobby club’s globe circling balloon successfully intercepted by F-22 last week.

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.

To quote Seymour Hersh when questioned about the Alta being used in his story and Norway denying that it was part of BALTOPS22. "The Alta, the ship was there. I mean that's just such a stupid lie." The Alta hasn't been used since 2012 and was being scrapped at the time.

Going back to his claim that it was specifically the "M350 Alta" that was used. This image is from July 24th 2022, when the M350 Alta was at the scrapyard in Hanøytangen just North of Bergen. https://t.co/tfyt08Phk4

so much of the identity discourse about who gets to be what or gets to have what or go in which places is downstream of the real problem plaguing global civilization: having to fill out forms
