Owner of ‘spy balloon’ that flew above Twente: “Thought it was a joke”

“At first I thought it was a joke, but later I saw that it was taken seriously,” says Jurg, who also understands that it happened. “Because not everyone knows about balloons. You could see that it was a gas balloon, because there was a basket underneath. People on the ground were looking at us, but I don’t have the feeling that there were more than on previous trips.”
