ORIGINAL: Bird of Paradise
Too bad you folks didn't bother to follow this story further rather than jumping to conclusions and worst case scenarios. There was a weather balloon found that met the description of the object. It was NOT an RC aircraft.
Well...after all we are our own worst enemies...
those damn weather balloons have been nothing but a hazard for much too long. Could you just imagine if a full scale airplane collided with one causing the airplane to ultimately crash into a bus full of Nuns, causing the bus to go out of control and then crash into an orphanage, causing a fire that kills everyone.... We need to do something about them before some catastrophe happens...
