Last year, a mysterious white balloon appeared in Japan. People with a discerning eye knew it was a meteorological balloon, but what they didn’t understand was its source, who released it and with what purpose it was released. It was once in Japan. The media network caused heated debate. In the end, this matter was gone. It was a folk tale on the Japanese Internet.
Recently, according to Japanese media reports, in the southern part of Osuka Coast in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, many residents once again witnessed a white balloon floating in the air, which is a huge white In the lower part of the balloon, a cross-shaped unknown device can be vaguely seen. Such a large white balloon is often used for high-altitude detection activities at ground weather stations. In fact, it is a very common device, and such devices are often used in meteorological departments across our country.
The sounding ball is generally filled with lighter gas. It can take off from the ground and fly to the vicinity of the clouds. As the altitude increases and the high air pressure decreases, the sounding ball You can't fly anymore when you fly to a certain height. It is mainly used to collect cloud water vapor, wind speed and other data, combined with meteorological monitoring data obtained from satellites and the ground to predict the weather. At present, it is still an indispensable equipment for the meteorological department, because it will eventually swell and rupture and fall when flying high, but the equipment carried is very light and generally does not threaten the lives of ground residents.
However, the local Meteorological Agency of Japan stated that this is not theirs, because the Akita local TV station in Japan will observe the air temperature and humidity at 8:30 in the morning and 8:30 in the evening. A kind of observation device is released at a time. Balloon sounding activities are very regular, and the balloon will be retracted in about 2 hours after releasing it. Moreover, according to the news from the Japan Meteorological Agency, the air sounding balloon used in Japan is also different in shape from this balloon, so it is unlikely that Japan’s regional meteorological bureau emptied it.
The reappearance of this balloon has caused heated discussion on the Japanese Internet.What is it for and who releases it is the focus of people's attention. Not many people care about what it does, because it is harmful to people on the ground, but if it carries some ground-based detection equipment, it will not hurt. It is closer to the ground than satellites and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. . However, it is still difficult to give a reasonable explanation, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces did not explain this equipment.
It seems that the source of this air sounding ball will remain the same as last time. However, some people speculate that this balloon may have two sources that are difficult to verify: the first is the US military stationed in Japan. The United States and Japan have a lot of cooperation. There are multiple US military ports in Japan. The US ocean-going navy is dominated by aircraft carrier battle groups. It also has high requirements for weather conditions and needs to monitor weather. Some US troops are also stationed on the coast of Aomori Prefecture, not far from the Osuka coast.
What the US military does in Japan is often out of the control of Japan, and they often discharge some waste water into the ocean. Last year, unexplainable stench appeared in many places in Japan and lasted for several months. Some people believed that the U.S. Navy stationed in Japan secretly discharged pollutants such as waste oil. However, it is difficult to confirm the statement that the US military stationed in Japan released air sounding balloons. The US military itself would not say it, and Japan would not dare to inquire about it.
Another possibility is a balloon released by the Japanese privately. This possibility is not particularly great. Flying such a big balloon is difficult to hide from everyone, and it is already the second time, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have not noticed it. This kind of thing is a bit abnormal. Although Japan is a defeated country, their sounding and other detection technology is not bad, and if it is privately released by the private sector, the Self-Defense Forces will not dare to investigate in depth, indicating that there are inevitable reasons.
This balloon is likely to be the same as last time, and there is a lot of noise and nothing is found. After similar sounding balloons appeared in Sendai last year, the Japanese all asked who was secretly monitoring them, but after a few days of trouble, nothing happened. This time the balloon is basically the same as the last time.It is certain that it was released by the same person or group. As for the purpose, it is difficult to say. Japan itself keeps a close eye on it.
