An explosion has been caught n camera above Billings, Montana, the last place the spy balloon from China was seen.
The person who shared the video, Dolly Moore, said she “saw a jet go by so fast and then explosion in the sky.”
“Ok, so here’s what I just caught I few minutes ago out my window. I saw a jet go by so fast and then explosion in the sky. Holy crap! Billings MT,” she said.
There is no indication that the explosion is related to the spy balloon.
The Pentagon has responded to the Chinese spy balloon that has been traversing the United States. It came after China insisted that the balloon had drifted off course and could not be maneuvered, but the Pentagon said that was incorrect.
“The balloon is maneuverable,” Pentagon spokesman Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said to reporters on Friday. “It violated the law. We communicated that to China.”
He said that shooting down the balloon “was taken into consideration,” but “because we assessed that currently, it does not pose a psychical or military risk to people on the ground, for now, we are continuing to monitor and review options.”
“What we’re not gonna do is get into an hour-by-hour location of the balloon,” the spokesman said.

Hoax.
Gee, what is today... the fourth of February already.
So how's Dolly doing today?
What happened to “the balloon is over Cape Girardeau now”.
“An explosion has been caught n camera above Billings, Montana, the last place the spy balloon from China was seen.”
Not sure what THIS person is talking about. The LAST time I saw the balloon’s location was on Fox Spews last night...and it was over Missouri.
Not sure what THIS LADY saw. May’ve she should see some geography lessons?
Did they time travel and shoot it in the past?
This is the result of a social media and conspiracy theory education group.
Porn and stupidity is our future.
Last I saw there were two balloons.
““What we’re not gonna do is get into an hour-by-hour location of the balloon,” the spokesman said.”
They do it for Santa
There is something off the coast of Charleston, SC. HBAL617 on flightaware.
Anyone know what that is?
Bolide.
If I were the Chinese I would have a self destruct system on my spy balloon to prevent my adversary capturing my technology.
It’s activation would look like this video
It would incorporate an altimeter that would detonate explosive charges at a given altitude to destroy the spy tech.
But I want to believe it!
bkmk
How does everyone know it’s a “spy balloon” and not a weapon?
1) CIA planting story so Biden can pretend to have done something, so the Chinese can spy in peace as agreed?
2) Chinese unleashed 99 Luft Balloons spewing Covid?
3) Do-it-yourself hoax?
4) Actually blown up because the million yuan check to the Big Guy bounced?
Psychical? Either the author or the general are idiots - perhaps both.
You must have read my tag line...
They darned well should be. This is an act of aggression against the US.
China is testing the waters to see how we respond. Or not.
State of the Union Address:
"My fellow Americans. The state of the union is great. As your commander in chief, and always considering the welfare of the American people, I have directed that the unauthorized spy ballon will be shot down as we speak. This decision on my part was very difficult but needed to be done. Thank you and good day.
