that we should worry about an unknown balloon passing 60,000 feet overhead?

We need to set up something equivalent to what's below, perhaps The Royal Order of Kamehameha Puna Observer Corps to keep the island safe from balloons.

PS. Look at this blatant use of a balloon flying directly over the TMT site on Mauna Kea. Who knows what technology was being used to spy on a potential laser site?

Numerous articles in the last couple of days about this, including that they scrambled F22's out of Honolulu, of which 2 of the 3 basically ran out of fuel and performed emergency landings in Hilo (ITO). Complete mismanagement to scramble F22's, sending them over 200 miles out and not bothering to also send up a tanker to refuel them.

Good gawd, have a clue!

Here's more on those scrambled jets.
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]"Yesterday morning I was flying with a student pilot. Not long after we took off from Hilo, the Departure Controller called us and the other aircraft near Hilo to tell us that the [sic] Honolulu Control Facility had just told them that there was a military operation over the Big Island and all civilian aircraft were to remain off shore until further notice," Scott Wilson, a flight instructor at Aloha Skies Aviation in Hawaii, wrote in a public post on Facebook on April 29. "About 20 minutes later an F-22 declared an emergency and was given landing instructions. ... The controller never repeated back what the emergency problem was so I don't know what it was.[/color]
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]"After the F-22 landed, they were told to continue toward the airport," he added. "Then a second F-22 declared an emergency for low fuel (per what the controller repeated back to the F-22 pilot that we could hear on VHF) and everyone had to hold again."[/color]

Yes, it's an empty construction site, but it's still there.
