1 Young Adam: Martian? There's no such thing as Martians.
2 General: What about the flying saucer that crashed in the desert?
3 Young Jamie: That was no flying saucer. It was just a weather balloon!
4 General: It was? Really? Oh man, I'm glad you told me. I had reporters all ready for a big story. I better go tell them the truth.

There are also several proposed balloon missions:
