Canadians moon grounded surveillance balloon
Updated Sat. Aug. 15 2009 6:53 PM ET
The Canadian Press

SARNIA, Ont. -- A group of demonstrators descended upon Sarnia, Ont.,
Saturday to drop their pants and moon the sky to protest a U.S. surveillanc=
e
balloon that was hovering near the border city recently.
Organizers said between 200 and 300 people took part in the mooning protest=
,
although a local Sarnia radio station said the number was closer to 100.
"We got a fellow with a loud voice to shout out a countdown . . . everyone
lined up and held it for a couple of seconds, pulled up, and that was that,=
"
said one organizer, who would only identify himself as Eli.
"People dispersed pretty quickly afterwards."
The balloon, which is shaped like an airplane wing, had until recently been
hovering over the city from Port Huron, Michigan.
It carries a $1-million camera that U.S. officials say is sensitive enough
to read the name of a ship from about 14 kilometres away.
The balloon has been grounded since last weekend, when its fabric suffered =
a
gash during a major thunderstorm.
Its absence didn't deter the mooners, however.
"If the balloon's sitting on the ground or it's in the sky, the fact is tha=
t
they're still using it," said Eli.
"It still needs to be said that we don't think it's necessary, that we thin=
k
it's a potential invasion of privacy and of sovereignty."
Sierra Nevada Corp., which owns the balloon, is testing technology that
could eventually be used by the U.S. Homeland Security.Sarnia Mayor Mike
Bradley has said he's written Prime Minister Stephen Harper about his
concerns over the surveillance balloon.
Eli said the mass mooning is probably the last he'll have to do with the
issue.
"The issue's been brought up, and hopefully something's going to be done
about it," he said.
It appeared the protest only drew a fraction of the 1,500 people who
indicated on social networking site Facebook that they would show up for th=
e
protest.
