I don’t believe a damn thing these people say.
How does a balloon have “a course”?
Let's float that story out there and see if people buy it.
ya right... any idiot knows the path of the jet stream so htf is a balloon going to be blown off course!??
Only a fool would believe anything this Jobama regime would say about anything, especially the DOD, CIA and the FBI.
Do all 17 intelligence agencies and that group of 51 former intelligence professionals agree? ..... again?
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.
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.
It took them two weeks to concoct this propaganda?
The only blown thing here was this off-course crap explanation put out by our military idiot leaders.
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.
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”
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
“before it took an unexpected turn to the north.”
Well, golly!
