#1 Hate to say it, but perhaps Trans World Airlines Flight 800 (TWA800) needs another look, and not by the FBI.

#4 If that Washington State balloon story is factual, someone (or a group of someone's) needs to have their asses kicked.

#5 Apply same penalty as aiming laser at aircraft.

Well, certainly the FAA has registrations.

Uhm...Hey Pete!

#7 The Nord Stream story sure did disappear.

I'm still not sure how much I'm into that piece outside of my feels, but:

Nobody was like, "Not the US Government I know!"

Nobody was like, "Impressive multi-month operation for somebody who wakes up with dreams about ice cream and balloon animals."

Nobody was like, "Story is wrong because Putin ordered the strike!"

All I know is they went through The Liar's Routine. Like they are with this.

#8 It's unpossible in many minds to believe it was an industrial accident. That angle was well covered here and it's as good an explanation as any, less the foil hat frisson.

#9 The fraternity brothers at Washington State spoofed NORAD.

The hell of it is that story is about as plausible as any of the others we're hearing. When you have to rely on the government for information about something like this, you might as well resign yourself to the fact that you will never know the truth.

#10 For all we know, nothing at all was up there. The whole story is just another hoax to make it look like Biden is taking decisive action after his failure to act on the very real Chinese spy balloon.

#11 Shooting at nothing. It happens a lot. It's when it gets orchestrated media coverage that it becomes a problem.

#12 "We haven’t seen any indication or anything that points specifically to the idea that these three objects were part of the People’s Republic of China’s spy balloon program, or that they were definitively involved in external intelligence collection efforts," Kirby said.

You saying it was an internal job? That why you let it cross out to sea?

#13 Has Germany or Russia commented on the Nord Stream pipeline?
