Balloons attack!
Episode description
Once the United States military started looking for them, they couldn’t stop finding them. Unidentified balloons were everywhere.
The military and President Joe Biden decided the best course of action was simple: to shoot these unknown objects out of the sky.
But weeks later, we’re finally learning that only the first of these balloons to be shot down has anything to do with China – the others, likely belong to scientists and hobby clubs.
Today, former director of war studies at the Australian Army Research Centre and adjunct professor at UNSW Canberra Albert Palazzo, on how balloons became a threat.
