[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] ufo

[Ted Kochanski]

Balloon seems to be white -- so probably not that easy to "poke a hole"
with a laser -- you need to get a fair amount of power onto the balloon
MW/sq m and hold it there for enough time to evaporate the plastic
We have some R&D tech that could do that at the right kind of range -- but
it might not be in the right place to be used because of the curvature of
the earth

Cannon fire from a fighter would seem to be the best approach

So they shot down the balloon with a missile, it totally deflated, and fell
into the water where they have to search to find it, and the impact with
the water may have damaged things.

Did anyone consider: Poke a hole in the balloon (using a laser perhaps)
that would cause it to descend rather than fall rapidly to the ground.

(Or am I missing something?)
