Sky Spotters
Where I live, one of the most common categories of sky object without a weird obsessive spotting community is "lost birthday party balloons," so that might be a good choice—although you risk angering the marine wildlife people, and they have sharks.

I just read the same sentence about Centaurs in the first Harry Potter book (reading for my daughter). But they would spot moving objects at night, and notice it were not stars, mentioning on their forums how annoying those light sources are ;-) --Kynde (talk) 19:30, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

The solution for the committee in the third panel might be to disguise their drones as birds which are very common for the time and place in which the drones are operating. --162.158.75.112 15:14, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

The real solution is to attach surveillance cameras to birds. --108.162.216.40 15:29, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
The real solution is cyborg birds with embedded surveillance cameras.162.158.155.32 09:57, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
The real solution is Google Balloon Internet, Google Glass, Google Home, Google Phone, Google Watch, Google TV, Google Mail, Google Calendar, Google Keep, Google Search, Google Photos, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Street View, Google YouTube, Google Car, Google Window, Google Door, Google Bed, Google Bike, Google Shoes, Google Arm, Google Pet, Google Lifemate, Google Mind, Google Overlord.--162.158.111.103 14:28, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Just paint it the color of the sk-oh wait. 172.68.47.114 18:15, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Like this color: 1556: The Sky, and also check this 1145: Sky Color ;-) --Kynde (talk) 19:30, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

I see the military-industrial complex has been on and redacted the truth about UFOs.162.158.155.32 09:59, 3 November 2017 (UTC)


Might the title text also refer to the video game Homefront balloon release incident? The Marine Mammal Center responded directly to that incident. 162.158.69.196 18:43, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
