Yeah, that’s the ticket. The Chinese don’t know anything about weather patterns or even how to log on to NOAA or a dozen other gov and private meteorological websites around the world.
Ditto.
Do. Not. Believe.
It left from north China I heard.
This story means it wasn’t a spy balloon.
If they knew this then why cancel Winken’s visit and shoot it down.
They don’t even make sense.
If some guy in Montana had not put a photo on the Internet, we would have never known.
Nor would have the military had reason to examine their radar data for low-Doppler returns which are normally filtered out of the data before it’s presented to humans.
I bet when they adjusted their filters after the hullabaloo their screens were packed with junk.
Which is why the filters in the first place.
Thousands of high-altitude balloons are launched every week.
It is impractical and unnecessary to track and identify them.
Even the Chinese spy balloon was routine, there have been many others.
We do the same to them and the Russians and many others.
It’s normal business as long as the commercial airspace is not trespassed.
The administration and the military took the nation on a snipe hunt, to keep the news cycle and public eye off Hersh.
They change the story (hourly) to whatever they think will cover their posteriors. Especially Milley, to whom lying seems to be like breathing.
It took them two weeks to concoct this propaganda?
Thought that was Marty Robbins.. (?)
The only blown thing here was this off-course crap explanation put out by our military idiot leaders.
They keep coming up with new explanations for the first balloon. If your explaining you are losing!
The story keeps changing. Now they say they knew about it and were tracking it all along. Right.
Launched from Hainan and floated thousands of miles at right angles to the jet stream to get to the Aleutians. More BS. Before they were saying it launched from central China. More BS.
IF you are trying to claim that there is no threat from balloons, then you are a naive fool.
Not a word.
But it was able to hover over sensitive areas for days
This is proof that given enough time you can come up with a reasonable explanation of almost anything.
When it first was announced they seemed clueless.
Then, 10 days later, “Oh, yeah,... we were tracking it the whole time”
Just more government bull s__t.
Off course, huh. And somehow just ended up over our missile silos in Montana and other sensitive security installations? Sounds legit.
Montana is far from Guam
I see what you did there. 😊
