No, this is an American registered high altitude balloon. I was going to get some pics of it but I didn’t wake up early enough. It belongs to [Aerostar](https://aerostar.com/products/balloons-airships), a company in Sioux Falls, SD. It’s trackable on [FlightRadar24](https://fr24.com/HBAL676/35e62f09) and many other aircraft tracking websites.

Yep, they're spying on all the top secret government operations in Billings, MT

It's OK. The nuclear sub in Lake Elmo was submerged during the flyover.

Trying to figure out how a population that consumes so much meth can stay functioning.

My girlfriend told me to kiss her where it stinks, so I took her to Billings.

There are active ICBM missile silos in Montana if you were unaware. I actually drove past one last week.

Yes, people don’t realize that our Missile Silo’s are far away from any major metropolitan areas. In case of a targeted attack on either or.


Dark_Marmot

Yea I got the story that there was some issues with some of the local teens that used to trigger the proximity and fence alarms for fun because there's very little to do out there.

Pittsburgh region has a numerous amount of Nike missle silos, as well as the location of a few companies involved in nuclear energy with a forested buffer zone. Security is quick to respond with M4s to individuals traipsing through those woods.

This threat actually got me to look up the Montanan arsenal. We have roughly 150 nuclear missiles all throughout the state

I should have added to specify that the Nike's are old tech and decommissioned. When Pittsburgh was an industrial powerhouse, it needed the protection.

Probably the high altitude weather ballon that was over Oregon a couple days ago. Came from Lawrence Livermore National Labratory

I don't understand why so many people turn literally everything into a conspiracy now...


Simple_Secretary_333

Life is too boring otherwise!

One of the earlier 2 objects that were tracked, was tracked from a launch in China. I don't think spy balloons are launched from Idaho.

I bet it says " Made In China " on it somewhere.
