[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 4223864, member: 8119"] When they flew the jet for visual inspection of the balloon, I expect they observed that there were no dropable items (dumb bombs). The solar panels show it needs a significant amount of energy, presumably for computer processing power. It's collecting data, or possibly SENDING data. But I'm still confused about it being called a hobbiest balloon. Did someone actually step up and claim this? Or is this just the .gov way to minimize the panic, and under-play a China spy balloon? Personal hobby, or China rig? I'm still unsure. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
