During a vacation at Xitou in Nantou, a tourist was surprised to see a balloon floating in the sky, mistaking it for a spy balloon from China. However, it was actually a research project commissioned by the National Applied Research Balloon Observing Atmosphere, not a spy balloon. The balloon was measuring environmental temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. The tour guide recorded the incident to clarify any misunderstandings, emphasizing the differences between spy balloons and research balloons in terms of size, range, and purpose.
