[HEADING=2]‘That could be one of our balloons’: Hobbyist says downed object may belong to amateur club[/HEADING]
It’s possible that the object shot down by American forces over the Yukon last weekend “could have been our balloon,” a member of an Illinois hobbyist group said Friday.
On Thursday, [news surfaced that an amateur group]('https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/16/mystery-object-balloon-illinois-biden-00083355') in Illinois said one of its balloons had gone missing near Alaska on Saturday, the same day an F-22 shot down an object over the Yukon in Canada. [In a blog post on the group’s website on Tuesday]('https://nibbb.org/blog/'), it said the balloon had gone “missing in action” but avoided making any connection with the military shoot-down.
The object was one of three unknown aerial craft that were shot down over the weekend, days after the incursion of a Chinese spy balloon over the U.S. and Canada prompted the military to look more closely at objects floating in U.S. airspace.
“When I heard that [it was a] silver object with a payload attached to it, that could be one of our balloons,” a member of the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade told POLITICO in a phone interview. The member was granted anonymity because the group has agreed not to talk to the media.
Government officials have reached out to some of the hobby group’s members, the person said. On Thursday, a spokesperson for the North American Aerospace Defense Command said the FBI had contacted the club but did not provide more details. The FBI did not return a request to comment.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Friday that the U.S. can't confirm reports that the balloon belongs to the club. "We haven't recovered it so it's very difficult until you can get your hands on something to be able to tell," he said. "I mean we all have to accept the possibility that we may not be able to recover it."
For months, the hobby group tracked its balloon using an antenna attached to the craft, using GPS to estimate where it was. Based on their data, the balloon should have been over Alaska when it went offline.
But hundreds, if not thousands, of objects are floating in that jet stream at any given time, so no one can be sure what was shot down unless you “go through the Yukon and trudge through the snow,” the member said.
“Think about it. We know where the balloon was off the coast of Alaska. We know where it was, if all was well,” the member said. “We know that it didn't wake up that morning. We know [American forces] shot something down, and the thing they described as having shot down is not inconsistent with what we're flying out there. So, that's that.”
Balloons flown by the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade are no different from the $10 to $15 balloons children buy for parties, the person said. They’re not specifically designed for scientific purposes. The Sidewinder missile used by the Air Force to shoot down the object over the Yukon costs roughly $400,000.
“Unless it has Mickey Mouse ears and F-22 pilots got sharp eyes and can discern that, it's not clear exactly what you're looking at. But the point is that it is not at all a huge reach,” to assume it’s the group’s balloon, the member said.
Kirby said the U.S. stands by the decision to shoot down the objects.
**‘Look, the president called me and said, “Anything you need.” I have not called him back after that conversation. We will not hesitate to do that if we’re seeing a problem or anything, but I’m not seeing it.’
— Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine**
DeWine, a second-term Republican, said he had been contacted after the disaster by President Joe Biden, who, he said, offered any necessary federal assistance. Said DeWine at the Tuesday news briefing: “Look, the president called me and said, ‘Anything you need.’ I have not called him back after that conversation. We will not hesitate to do that if we’re seeing a problem or anything, but I’m not seeing it.”

ATLANTA (AP) — The Carter Center said Saturday that former President Jimmy Carter has entered home hospice care.
The charity created by the 98-year-old former president said on Twitter that after a series of short hospital stays, Carter “decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention."
It said he has the full support of his medical team and family, which “asks for privacy at this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers.”
Carter, a Democrat, became the 39th U.S. president when he defeated former President Gerald R. Ford in 1976. He served a single term and was defeated by Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Federal law should require railroads to tell states when hazardous chemicals of the sort that escaped into the environment after this month’s East Palestine derailment are passing through, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown said Wednesday.
He also blamed the administration of former President Donald Trump for weakening safety standards set by his predecessor, Barack Obama, that might have prevented the accident.

That guy you quoted is a winner.
The restriction that was eased was limited to placarded 1202 which was petroleum products (gas/oil/diesel) but say it incorrect enough on msm then it must be true.

SEOUL (Reuters) -North Korea fired two more ballistic missiles off its east coast on Monday, as the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un warned U.S. forces to halt military drills, saying the reclusive nuclear state could turn the Pacific into a "firing range".
The launches come just two days after North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the sea off Japan's west coast, prompting the United States to hold joint air exercises with South Korea and separately with Japan on Sunday.
North Korea's state media confirmed it fired two projectiles from a multiple rocket launcher, aiming at targets 395 km (245 miles) and 337 km (209 miles) away, respectively.

[HEADING=2]Explosion rocks Ohio factory, scattering molten metal; 14 injured[/HEADING]
(Reuters) -An explosion tore through an Ohio metals plant on Monday, scattering molten metal and debris that rained down on neighboring buildings and injuring at least 14 people, mostly with burns, officials and witnesses said.
The blast sent smoke billowing into the sky that could be seen for miles around the damaged factory about 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Cleveland.
The explosion at the I. Schumann & Co. metals plant in Bedford drew fire departments from throughout northeast Ohio.
Oakwood Fire Department Captain Brian DiRocco addressed the media on scene, saying 13 people were taken to hospital, many of them with burn wounds, and one more was being treated on site.
At least one was in critical condition, and one was pulled from the debris. All of those injured were on site, the falling debris having spared those at neighboring businesses, DiRocco said.
The explosion was about 70 miles (112 km) northwest of East Palestine, Ohio, where earlier this month a train loaded with toxic chemicals derailed, causing a fire that sent a cloud of smoke over the town and forced thousands of people to evacuate.
wen 5 million unknowns are allowed in the country, what’s the most practical reason…
never mentioned the reason for the train explosion… cellfish…
