Although the club is not pointing fingers, there are suspicions among other prominent members of the small, pico-ballooning enthusiasts community.

Rest easy fellow patriots, the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade will no longer be terrorizing our skies with their $12 pico balloons after being annihilated by our big, beautiful $400,000 sidewinder missiles.

    Apparently the one over Lake Huron took 2 Siderwinders to shoot down, implying they somehow missed a stationary balloon the first time. Which frankly means the balloon won.
