Yes, the balloon followed a known jet stream. Unless you think that jet streams don't exist. They are nothing other than atmospheric currents. The Japanese sent balloons to drift to the Pacific coast of the United States, with the objective of starting fires in the coastal forests. Some balloons made the trip and caused some fires.
Satellites are not balloons. Get real.
You are simply being facetious about East Palestine. When air is still, clouds remain in place. When the wind blows, the clouds go with them. I live where there are LOTS of clouds. It is always that way. The air is mostly stationary with respect to the surface of the Earth, or we would be subject to tremendous winds all the time. This is a phenomenon called the "boundary layer," which applies to a viscous fluid (such as air). The velocity gradient at the contact surface is zero. Winds only cause the gradient profile to get lower to the surface of the Earth. This IS aerodynamics, and it has all been verified in laboratory experiments.
The point of my facetiousness is there is an endless string of observations that defy your spinning ball. Each one will have some unproved explanation that you just must accept. And when accepting bogus science, it's always more effective if you mock people who aren't accepting it. That's how it works.
But no, you can't be spinning at the speed you think you are and have smoke clouds lingering above an area for many days. 9/11 had a cloud for weeks. Wild fires too. I know, I'm just not recognizing how big earth is, how fluid dynamics don't apply because the atmosphere rotates so perfectly that it helps in the conspiracy to make earth seem to be actually stable.
Endless string? You haven't mentioned a single one. You haven't refuted a single fact.
The atmosphere is a viscous fluid, which means that it will travel with the surface of the Earth. Over a long period of time (much shorter than geological time), it will travel at the same speed at the surface is rotating. When it moves north or south, as with winds, then there will be effects from the differing speeds at different latitudes, which we observe as weather. It's like being in a compartment in a train running smoothly at 200 mph. You don't notice the speed, unless you look out the window. Everything is being carried along with you. This phenomenon has been demonstrated in the laboratory, as by rotating cylinders or spheres in liquids such as water.
So, there is no relative wind due to Earth's rotation, and smoke clouds can linger if there is no wind current due to convection effects in the atmosphere. This actually IS fluid dynamics, and it always applies.
But the fact of the matter is that Magellan and many others after him have CIRCUMNAVIGATED the Earth. They have physically gone AROUND it. Time after time. We fly around the globe all the time, using Great Circle routes that would be impossible on a flat Earth. Nothing theoretical about things that we do in reality. Nothing theoretical about space travel and satellites. Ever use GPS? That's what it is, a satellite constellation for locating oneself on the Earth.
There is no "conspiracy," just ignorance on your part and a refusal to accept the facts of existence.
This topic is very much like the theory of evolution. Because whenever a physical law destroys the theory, you always have some appeal to that deeper, farther, weirder, math and science that one just has to have advanced degrees to dare comment about. So one must just faithfully trust in the spaceman movies.
But notice how lab proofs and analogies have to introduce vital elements that don't exist to contain earth? Water is not air, doesn't behave the same.
I used to hang my globe faith on satellite TV. Silly to think of now. But then again back then I thought satellites had to float around in a low earth orbit. Being held aloft by balloons, kind of takes the magic out of it, but it makes a lot more sense.
You don't know any part of the subject you are talking about. There are no "spaceman movies." All you have is suspicion derived from ignorance.
Water and air are fluids and are understandable as such. They obey the same equations for incompressible flow. Beyond its critical pressure and temperature, water becomes a dense, compressible fluid intermediate between vapor and liquid. This is elementary chemistry and physics. Don't scoff at a subject you don't understand.
The satellites that mediate TV are in geostationary orbit, at an altitude of 22,236 miles above the equator (about 2 1/2 times the Earth's diameter). Not in low Earth orbit. They do not seemingly move because their orbital period is identical to the Earth's rotation.
