Well, the Chinese have done it again...or have they?
Recently, Biden's spokespersons announced the shoot-down of an "object" over far Northeastern Alaska, shot down where it would land on an ice floe in Prudhoe Bay. The Pentagon was quick to "not call it" a balloon, just as they were careful not to call where it crashed down "ice." Instead, they called the balloon an "object" and called it "frozen water."
Why did Biden permit a massive balloon, with an equipment pod as large as a commercial airliner, to overfly the entire United States — including our nuclear missile silos in Montana — while popping a relatively tiny balloon, with an equipment pod smaller than a small car? More to the point, since China tested lofting deadly EMP generators on large balloons, why was the large balloon allowed to threaten all Americans while the tinker-toy mini-balloon was destroyed as a "viable threat"? A balloon known to be capable of carrying devastating weapons, spotted flying over the entire U.S., is apparently no threat, but a micro-balloon over the most remote portion of the U.S. is a threat? Really?
Pentagon spokespersons were quick to deny that they knew that the balloon shot down was Chinese. But if it wasn't Chinese, why did they destroy it? They denied knowing that it was a balloon. They also "confirmed" that this object wasn't a manned aircraft, but an object. If they could determine that it wasn't manned, surely they could see that it was a balloon.
Now here's the weird part. The first object, shot down a week ago off the coast of South Carolina, was an unmanned balloon that contained a huge amount of spy equipment — even though the equipment pod was larger than a Chinese space capsule.

We've also been told that we have in-flight reconnaissance cameras that can see a housefly against a wall at two miles...yet apparently we can't tell if the object, with a payload bay "no larger than a small car" per Friday's White House Press Briefing, is a balloon. They confirmed that the payload couldn't hold a man but couldn't determine if the "object" could have been a balloon. Talk about credibility.
The government is trying to undo the mistakes made with the large Chinese balloon, announcing it before American civilians could discover and report it to the media. They shot it down because it could "present a threat to commercial aircraft" even as it flew over the most desolate land on Earth. This time, they even advised Alaska's governor before they shot it down.
That calls into question what they haven't announced — yet — about the Chinese spy balloon. Why, when they have satellites and hypersonic missiles, might China be using balloons? Apparently, according to spy tech expert H.I. Sutton, there remains an espionage market for massive drone balloons.
Where’s the photos?
Proof that the US didn’t put it up as a false flag operation?
Me being suspicious this Balloongate makes me wonder what the democrats or Biden are doing or hiding something big?.
Big deal making always happens in dark areas.
Who knows what the Chinese are hiding, and what they’re telling Biden to do?”
The altitude of the "object" is what made it a threat to commercial aircraft. The balloon which traversed the continental US was much higher.
That doesn't really deflect the point, but the one over Alaska was at a bad altitude.
Yeah, something stinks about all of this.
All of the polar ice has melted from global warming so this object crashed into the water...frozen water.
Agree
There is truly no doubt, IMHO, that Democrat, Fake, Criminal, Illegal elected POTUS, Joe Biden is the 100% pet pawn & lap dog for the Communist Chinese Party.....American Congress Critters, Citizens and Voters better Wake Up, Wise up and impeach Biden who is owned and operates for none other then the CCP!!! If painful, failure, Biden is not impeached, Sad days & hard,bad, evil, times ahead,for the once free and great USA Republic Nation!!!
pics or it didn’t happen.
Consider that Chi-Com mega balloon flew over America’s agricultural heartland and could easily have been a bio weapons delivery system aimed at our food supply. We know the Chinese have an active bioweapons program funded in part by US taxpayers at the Wuhan lab. Imagine if this balloon were spreading a virus attacking food crops like corn or wheat or new more virulent strains of swine flu, avian flu or bovine anthrax. The US could be facing starvation in less than a year.
Our senile leader and the bumbling cabal that tells Biden what to do allowed the ChI-Coms to overfly this country with a massive balloon device with impunity. Now faced with criticism the Biden regime is shooting down everything including what could be errant weather balloons while allowing an airliner sized payload to cross the country undeterred. They even bizarrely claimed they could retroactively detect spy balloons that supposedly flew over during Trump’s term, but were unreported to any officials at the time. Biden better come clean on these flyovers detailing what they were and more importantly who sent them. Biden’s mishandling of the first balloon should be ample grounds for impeachment.
