a distinct possibility but it doesn't feel... And here's the part I'm trying to understand.

ither left nor right media, nobody in the major media has either mocked me for saying that here's a picture of the weather balloon with the octagonal bottom. It's clearly that's what they shot down at least one of them because they said it was octagonal. Nobody has either debunked me or agreed with me. They've just ignored it.

What did I predict? I predicted it would be ignored didn't I? And it's almost impossible to imagine that that could be ignored because like I said my Twitter feed hits every major news entity. There's at least a producer for every news entity that follows me on Twitter. They've all seen me show the picture. It's an American company. They can verify it by just going to the website like I did. It is right on the front page. It's on the front page of their website. Big picture of an octagonal payload on a balloon.

Now if you report that there's a UFO with an octagonal shape that's exactly like what that balloon has and you ignore the fact that a cartoonist found a picture of it on a website from the company that makes lots of them. And by the way there should be a fair number of those octagonal things above our skies right now because it's a weather balloon company and they're doing well. They make a lot of weather balloons. People buy them. They're in the air. They're above you. They're octagonal.

Here's why. You know that company went out of business 10 years ago. Their website's still up. Something. You know that's not the case but something. Just anything. Because when was the last time I put anyth…
