So the Goberment was literally on top of it the whole time?
No doubt. Might also argue what we learned about their monitoring abilities is as significant especially since .mil would have hidden most sensitive stuff. And we probably have a decent idea what they were looking at…I am sure a lot of what some of the U-2s carry is classified, but I imagine we captured a lot of our own SIGINT/ELINT from it.
I had a client named Ken Powers. It was all I could do to not call him Kenny F—king Powers every time we met.
No kidding. I'm still waiting for pictures too. As a meteorologist I know there is a lot of balloon based stratospheric research done, especially in the polar regions so I'm wondering if they're paying more attention now to some wayward ones. I interviewed with this NSF outfit 15 years ago but med issues prevented the hire due to going to Antartica https://www.csbf.nasa.gov/

I had heard, at one time, he had some kidney issues, likely died years ago.Yea, my money says that dude was dead long before the raid in which they claimed to have killed him. Dumped him in the ocean.. right.
