The latest news is, we shot down another one. We have no idea what they are, but we seem to be shooting down a lot of them lately. Four to be exact. Although we do seem to know what one of them was.
One was supposedly a Chinese spy balloon. Pretty low tech stuff these days. Just send a balloon floating around and hope no one looks up. That one was floating around for a while, sort of doing a tour of North America and it was popped as soon as it moved offshore, where it wouldn’t hurt anyone when if fell.
Now we have been told there have been three others in recent days. We’re not sure what. We’re not sure who. But there are things floating around in the sky that seem to be watching us.
I’m not sure why they have been watching us. Maybe it’s the Netflix crackdown. They lost their streaming access and don’t have anything better to do at the moment. Although with what we tend to get up to, you would think they could find better things to watch.
Or maybe they were bringing us snacks for the football game. We were talking about it around the office this morning and figured it was probably cheeseburgers. It’s really no crazier than anything else we’ve heard so far.
Look at it this way. For years, aliens have been stealing cows. There doesn’t seem to be a good reason for it. Except maybe a great cosmic barbecue. Perhaps they have figured out a way to grow cows in big vats. Not the whole cow. Just the parts we like to eat. And now they have perfected this method, and have so much excess meat they decided to share. So they are sending out little space diners. Pop up burger joints with alien grown cheeseburgers.
That’s probably not it, but it’s fun to think about. And really, it makes as much sense as the Russians or Chinese looking in my bedroom window in the morning. Because really… no one needs to see that.
I just hope we haven’t missed the chance for free cheeseburgers.
