another one bites the dust...this one was octagonal shaped @ 20,000 ft over lake Huron USA/Canada
Notice how they are getting progressively smaller and lower? I think that is a purposeful attempt to evade detection, offering a smaller radar signature and decreasing detection distance by going lower - the curvature of the Earth can hide them from radars the lower they go, like flying a chopper nap-of-the-Earth. The horizon of the Earth is set at about a 15 mile distance at ground level in flat country, so going lower means getting closer to the radar installation before detection.
That tells me that "weather" is not what they have in mind to study.
"Weather balloon" my ass. Didn't work at Roswell, ain't gonna work now.
