The following question was presented:

It seems that China has been taking a peek into the US with a balloon, which kind of seems odd as I thought they'd be using satellites, but what do I know? Anyway, it reminds me of the Nena song from the 80's, so I'm asking 99 red balloons or one Chinese spy balloon?

  • 99 red balloons (60%)
  • One Chinese spy balloon (40%)

Analysis:

You and I in a little toy shop ... or so it goes. Yes, Nena's 99 Luftballons is still one of the darkest songs I've heard and it's to such a jolly tune. I've got to be honest, I watched the song on a YouTube video and she's playing in front of kids. Makes me laugh so much after all the crap people used to say about Metal, but they let their kids listen to that. Go figure!

Anyway, this 'ere Chinese Balloon is causing a bit of a stir isn't it. Seems they've got quite a few of these things floating around given four have now been shot down. Well, four objects. I think the first balloon hit a few firsts - first F-22 kill, first high altitude kill and I think it's the first kill in US airspace. I know it's fake, but I really like the image below:
