I liked the reader responses:

Sure. That�s what they WANT us to believe, anyway. Isn�t it much more plausible, though, that what we all saw was a test flight of one of the oft-rumored Ashcroft Mind-Control Balloons? I mean, come on. The election is only 13 months away.

First of all, please don't call them Mind-Control Balloons--it's a pretty accurate nickname but its Sci-Fi tone erodes the credibility of those of us trying to get the word out about the ugly reality. The Telemetric Airborne Psychometer program does exist, despite denials from authorities, and it is linked to the genetically modified food industry. Tiny, molecule-sized psychometric tracking substances are now being generated by genetically-modified corn, wheat, and rice plants. If you eat processed foods of any sort, you have ingested these substances. The balloons are not able to track our every thought but CAN pick up trends and tendencies of thought and attitude within individuals. The psychometric tracking substances also render us vulnerable to transmissions from the airborne equipment. I don't have any information on what's being transmitted from the balloons but you can bet it ain't good.

Note that by including wheat, corn, and rice, the government is ensuring all US ethnic groups will be trackable.

From Undercurrent's link:

A NASA research balloon launched from Fort Sumner, N.M., is shown over New Mexico at a reported altitude of 120,000-feet, in this image taken from a telescope from a backyard in Los Alamos, N.M., Sunday evening, Sept. 28, 2003.
Something about this photo seems odd. What do you suspect the light source is on this thing? This image was taken from a telescope and the balloon was at 120,000 feet?

Anyway, the link for the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Sub-millimeter Telescope is here

This:



looks more like a real photo of it at high altitude taken from the ground.

From my post above (below the image):

You may have seen BLAST Flight # 522N, whatever that is.

From undercurrent's link:

It turns out the balloon, carrying 4,000 pounds of research equipment known as a "payload," was a "Balloon-borne Large Aperture Sub-millimeter Telescope," said Steve Hottman, manager of the NMSU balloon support program.
We have a bullseye!

Sorry I disappeared.

Yep a huge weather balloon. I didn't realize they went that high (120,000 ft) and got that big.

I estimated ...50 to 100 miles or 250,000 to 500,000 ft. (Shrug) little off.

Thanks for the links.
