[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 2736485, member: 120824"] You guys realize that we let, and they let each other purposely fly spy planes over each others countries all the time right? Both sides hide the things they don't want seen, and it keeps tensions down and that way we're not shooting each other down. This balloon didn't get anything that you couldn't get from a satellite or one of the many flights they do. Mapping our bases? Are you for real? Have you yet to discover google maps? The military is very aware that anything in public view is fair game. And uh... the direction of the runways and where the barracks are is quite public. You can fly a Cessna roughly 3000ft over *almost* all the military bases in the US, and not even talk to anyone doing it. The one's you can't fly directly over, I can't think of one you can't get closer than 11 miles horizontally at a similar altitude. The military are not a bunch of morons, they know this. Secret things aren't left out in the open for anyone with a couple thousand dollars in glass can see. [/QUOTE]
