Currently, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) USA, in South Dakota are tested at least twenty air balls that rise to the stratosphere (more than 20 kilometers from surface of the Earth), by carefully monitoring the terrain and much more about the defense corporation Sierra Nevada (SNC) The Pentagon engaged in this “balloon ballooning” is not especially distributed.

Until now, the SNC has supplied the Pentagon (in particular, its Southcom) light aircraft that performed almost the same tasks. But airplanes cost millions, demanded pilots, fuel and could stay in the air for only a few hours. While not having of all these shortcomings, Raven Aerostar balloons can stay in the stratosphere for days, and therefore monitor, let’s say drug tracking, not to mention more secret tasks, many times more efficient than airplanes and even satellites.

True, conspiracy theorists immediately put forward their theories about these spy balloons. In their opinion, drug surveillance is just a cover. The main tasks of such an innovation in monitoring Spaces over the USA can be as follows:
- it’s just a more powerful and effective system for controlling everything and everyone, that is, for each person;
- the US government is thus preparing for the loss of its satellites due to the third world war, their uncompetitive in front of the apparatuses of Russia and China, trying to replace them in mind high cost and inefficiency, as well as increasing space debris in orbit of the planet, many meteors and so Further.
In turn, supporters of a flat Earth put forward their version what is happening, they say, the world government finally decided abandon the circus to launch satellites for monitoring, because under the dome of the planet will work much easier and more efficiently Balloons.
It seems to us that a weak version can be considered a weak one. the effectiveness of US satellites, their uncompetitiveness before spacecraft of the new space powers, as well as all this being done in the USA in order to save money. Balloons, like airships, note By the way, much more effective than airplanes and other modern terrestrial aircraft. It is a pity that at the turn of the XIX – XX centuries magnates aircraft industry triumphed by burying the idea of airships and thereby creating many problems for aeronautics that were not resolved humanity is still …
