<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font face="Comic Sans MS">We still have
U-2s in service </font>I'm sure they have flown up to that
Chinese balloon and have close ups. I watch the sky quite often.
I've seen satellites. In the evening just after sunset things
high up are still lit by the sun so they are bright against the
dark sky. The glint of sun on a high altitude plane will give a
flash of light. If you are lucky you can then see the plane with
binoculars. Something as big as a balloon would be much brighter
than Jupiter or Saturn. Maybe people out West thought it was the
messiah?<br>

The article also has good info on a global US military command
and control system.<br>
I wonder if the old one will be available on the surplus market?
It would be great for Field Day.....<br>
