It’s probably more likely that it was another research balloon…

Purchased for less than $15 and operated by the ham radio hobbyist group Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade, a silvery, 32-inch-wide pico balloon called “K9YO-15” was launched from a nature preserve north of Chicago in October 2022. It dangled a 10-gram (0.35-ounce) payload that included a radio tracker, a solar panel and a long antenna wire. Some 123 days later, on February 11, 2023, K9YO-15 was on its seventh circumnavigation of the globe, its hobbyist operators say, when they lost contact with the pico balloon near Alaska’s border with the Yukon. This was the same day that a U.S. F-22 fighter jet shot down a UFO using a nearly half-million-dollar Sidewinder missile in the same general vicinity. K9YO-15 has not been heard from since.

Half million dollar missile to take out a $15 balloon. At least using a laser is probably cheaper.

I’m in a very rural part of the USA. My electric, telephone(landlines which I don’t have), and internet are all coops. They are all very efficient and inexpensive. I’m very happy with them.

Per the article they are working on that, which is good since cattle farming is not exactly eco friendly.

The researchers are currently investigating the use of other metals with this nanocluster fabrication technique. They are also testing natural polymers as more abundant replacements for bovine proteins to facilitate potential manufacturing.

Security by obscurity is not really a good strategy. Lemmy is small potatoes, sure. But that just means they can devote a small number of assets to effectively monitor it.

…it’s safe to say that Pam Bondi’s DoJ did not put its best and brightest on this (admittedly gargantuan) undertaking

Actually they did. It’s just that their best and brightest are fairly dim.

Them. The Boss mentions Pretti and Good in the lyrics. Both murdered by ICE agents protected by Trump and the GOP enablers in Congress and SCOTUS.

10 percent of Telly’s shipments through FedEx arrived broken

No big surprise there. Shipments I get through FedEx are always beat to hell.
