The weather balloon videos keep getting mislabeled as spy drones

I tracked 3 separate incidents from last month alone and the radar signatures match NOAA balloon releases to the minute, so why does nobody check the flight logs before posting, has anyone else actually pulled the data?

and honestly the flight log angle is the whole story. NOAA publishes their launch schedules weeks ahead, so all it takes is one lookup to cross-check the time and location. I pulled the data for one of those "drone swarms" over Colorado and it matched a cluster of three radiosondes to the exact minute. The issue is people screenshot a grainy video and post it before they even check the date, let alone the public records. If the mods pinned a link to the NOAA tracking page, half these posts would die in the queue.
