Technically the State of Massachusetts doesn't exist either. We're a
Commonwealth. ;)

This was already asked by myself in a previous thread and the silence
from him was deafening.

The Air Guard has a B1B and advanced fighter jets deployed there.Otis had
numerous strategic bombers deployed at Otis AFB in the 50's during the Cold
War.

That was the source of my confusion as well. My interpretation would be
the rule applies only to OTIS AFB (in this case) and it doesn' exist so
it cannot apply to a nonexistent entity.

Tune into Fox now for a runaway balloon situation. A child is reported inside.

The HST is actually pretty interesting. It's in a 550 or so km orbit,
which means that it's close approach to AO-40 would be about 500km.
More importantly, it has a 2.4m mirror, which works out to about 94
inches. In theory, it's maximum resolving power is about 0.05 arc
seconds, which at 500km (ballpark of the closest range it could
achieve) would be on the order of 5 inches. I have no idea what the
tracking requirements would be and whether it could image such an
object, but I have little doubt that there are military satellites
with that capability.
The JWST (scheduled to launch in... 2014 or so?) has an aperature in
excess of six meters, and would result in a corresponding increase in
resolving power.
The ISS has a nominal orbit altitude of around 350km, so would be a
more challenging, and doesn't carry the kind of optical instruments
that the HST carries.
