What ever became of the “weather balloon” they shot down over the Yukon and claimed they couldn’t find?


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I looked at a drone for spreading corn in areas that were difficult to get to and where a feeder is impractical. Expensive.


An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

“The FBI forensics team that examined the balloon after it was shot down completed a classified report about the equipment it carried, according to multiple U.S. officials. Its findings remain secret and have not been widely briefed.”

Wouldn't surprise me if these drones are being operated by the electric companies, they use thermal so that might explain why the fly after sunset, a hot spot on a line is a problem. ONCOR is flying the big lines on the ranch next week using drones.


Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

You would think a legitimate business flying drones following the law would have let them know by now “it us don’t shoot”.
