Wow, these Israelis sure are sneaky:
Spy ducks, a spy vulture, Mossad shark attacks, anti-Arab rats,
and now: secret spy balloons!
No word, yet, if the spy balloon was executed…
Locals excited at finding UFO in air quickly change tack to accuse Israel of nefarious tourist balloon, joining pantheon of ‘spy’ charges.
Turkish residents refused to be disappointed from their conspiracy theories on Thursday, after their wonder at an alleged UFO they spotted in the skies quickly morphed into anti-Israel hostility when they claimed the Israeli tourist balloon they found was a “spy balloon.”
….Locals saw what they believed to be a UFO floating in the air…
They were disappointed to find that the object, which fell into the garden of a home in Malatya’s Hekimhan district, was a white-and-blue balloon with the tourist phrase “Welcome to Israel” written on it in English….
….Why Israeli spies would choose to use a balloon floating in random directions with an eye-catching design as opposed to an advanced drone apparently was a question that never crossed their minds.
It is anticipated the balloon may have come from a nearby vacation town that Israeli tourists sometimes frequent….
A ploy by the Turkish government to keep the people’s eyes focused elsewhere and not on government evils. Nothing is new under the sun….
I’m having trouble understanding which is the more wacko conspiracy theory: the UFO or the Israeli spy balloons. Unless, it’s “Jooooos innnnn Spaaaace!” (HT: Mel Brooks.)
