More Balloons

 After my previous blog post on the big hysterical balloon over Montana:

there have been several more balloon sightings.  Also the initial Montana balloon was shot down and one of the subsequent balloons was also brought down.

But as NPR, Popular Mechanics, Aviation Week and other sites have mentioned, these subsequent balloons may have been small Ham Radio balloons:

I did notice on this tracking site:

that VE3KCL (mentioned in my previous blog post) has a balloon currently over Siberia, the 32nd ?

Ballooning is apparently like eating potato chips, hard to stop.
