I watch flight aware 24 because I have a few pilot friends. It was interesting to see the flight pattern change when the UKR war started... it's like they scattered like roaches when the lights come on. There are zero commercial flights over that area. I can see Military tho... different app.

Im retired. So, I got some time on my hands.. No conspiracy theories here. Just the fact that thousands of pilots were at that altitude for more than a week, and no reports of a sighting is curious to me.

you appear to be the only one...i haven't seen any reports that say it was at less than 60k feet, and while some flights might go as high as 45k feet, that's still almost three miles difference ...if you drop the balloon to 50k feet that's still a mile difference in altitude.
so pilots, keeping an eye on their instruments, didn't see a balloon that was, even giving you everything you mentioned, at least a mile above them...and you find that odd.
i find it odd that you find it odd...a colorless, semi transparent balloon carrying a solar array that two guys could easily maneuver, looked about eight feet across by maybe two or three feet wide, which would be by far the easiest thing to see, and it was silverish colored...the same color as the sky at that altitude.
paint a refrigerator box green, put it on a hill in a grassy field, then drive a mile away and look at it...

Not true! Sleepy Joe let one go all the way down Alaska through Canada and all the way across the United States before he dropped it. Whatever the Chinese wanted to do today accomplished it and he allowed it.

ok, you got us...lets shit can the whole administration because they decided it wasn't worth the risk to civilians to shoot it down over land.
why don't we reinstall trump while we're at it, shit can social security, shoot all the drag queens, deport any trans kids, reopen the stupid ass fucking pipeline that was never going to carry gas, and publicly crucify Hillary, Joe, and Hunter?
sorry, just had to release some of the ridiculous shit that trumptard fucking morons have been beating to death like a racehorse that died 6 inches past the starting line.
get in touch with reality...come out of the rabbit hole just far enough to see reality for just a second...i know it's scary, but we're rooting for you...

Which is why I let them know Starbucks really isn't scary..one size and you can get a regular coffee. We're trying to invite them in by taking down the barriers; inclusion things they recognize..I can still get my double espresso, double shot smokey butterscotch, whole milk, extra hot latte.

We're extending an olive branch..why won't they see it?

YOU'RE extending an olive branch, i'm trying to beat them to death with a broken branch...
I don't want them corrupting the society we have no choice but to live in any more than they already have.
Past time to take the fucking trash to the curb.

yes...they're cheap ass balloons with cheap ass electronics hung on them...they can probably get 100 of them in the air for the price of one out of date missile...there are more than likely hundreds of them circling the globe right now.

How much experience do you have at seeing (detecting from the ground) aircraft flying at 60+ thousand feet?

Living in the country.. quite a bit. I can clearly see any commercial airliner within my 30 mile perimeter when i get a detection on my software, which is in real time. I'll got out and have a look. You can see the plane, nav lights very easily day or night. There's plenty of videos online showing people shooting video of the balloon at 40Kft or 60K ft. from the ground...whatever altitude it was at. So, If they can see it miles up, why wouldn't a commercial airliner have a better view?
