Balloon Buffoon

[JimmyBob]

$800,000 to shoot down a $12 "hobby" balloon. WTG Brandon. We'll all sleep better tonight knowing our skies are safe.
Oh, but wait, what about your chi-com owners?

I just saw that. Thinking I might go buy some Pico balloons.

We can only hope that the stupid bastards don't shoot down the Goodyear blimp next.

I followed this Chinese balloon for almost 150 miles, turns out it was birdshit on the windshield:
