Which is of course bull. I take it they were well aware but chose not to make it public. It pays to officially overlook such incursions while internally knowing about it, you can gather quite some intelligence that way. Why they made it public now? Did they think this time it was going too far? No idea.
re no sightings, I guess no one "sees" a balloon at that altitude. |
They are visible. Plenty of people saw this latest one, that's why it became public.
Now I could see a short overflight of one of the Hawaiian islands or Guam or over Florida in the middle of a single night could easily be missed, but given daylight and flying over inhabited areas these balloons they would be seen and reported. If the military or intelligence agencies knew about the previous flights and deliberately failed to inform the President or Administration that would border upon treason imo.
