The closest thing I've seen is "Oh they're being blatant about it to test us." lol

    I do think it’s interesting the pentagon has said they aren’t shooting it down out of fear for damaging people on the ground. There’s a 0% chance they give a shit about that, and it’s flying over a lot of low population density areas anyway. My guess is they can’t shoot it down.

      my guess is that they don't want to shoot it down (even if they could which they couldn't) because they'd rather every goober in Kansas go out to their backyard with a pair of binoculars to look for it. The balloon is on tour generating hype for the tiktok ban.
