This is exactly what Nena describes in \"99 Luftballons\" — known in English as \"99 Red Balloons.\" The song imagines a situation where (99 red) balloons show up on both countries' radars as unidentified objects and both sides scramble planes and go on full alert to counteract a perceived nuclear attack.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
