A CIA agent told me that he had read the classified paper on what happened. He said it was a rice paper balloon with a dead Japanese bomber that was shot down to keep the bomb form exploding farther east.

The incident is still highly classified.

Are you talking about the Fu-Go balloon bombs?
One of those killed six people in Oregon.

Why would it still be classified?
Also, we're supposed to believe that a balloon bomb was floating around for over two years?

The problem is that there are layers are disinformation on this subject—including “loyalty tests” with different stories to identify employees who cannot be trusted to keep secrets.
