China says balloon is for research, accidently strayed
At least they didn't say trawler. Trawler would have been difficult to believe.
UFO might have worked. But here in the US, anything with the word, "research," attached is instantly believed, true or not.
And, according to the Pentagon, at least, the Chinese were actually doing research — on military installations in the Pacific Northwest. Stuff they couldn't figure out just by lurking around in the networks.
This, by the way, is not the only story about balloons following the jetstream from Asia. There's another story here.
