Re: The "weather" balloon

Sorry, you're wrong, and the Chinese must think we're stupid. From the article:

"The balloon – which Beijing maintains was simply a civilian weather monitor that went off course –..."

Its a balloon, it only has one course and that's where the wind blows it. Yes, you can raise and lower them to take advantage of different air currents, but you sure as fuck can't steer them.
