11:33Now PlayingWe now know with some level of certainty that the so-called Chinese “spy” balloon that invaded U.S. airspace was more likely a weather balloon that drifted off course. And now we’re learning that the other “UFOs” shot down by the U.S. Air Force were probably inexpensive balloons launched by Ham radio enthusiasts.
