Explosion Spotted In Sky Where Chinese Spy Balloon Was
Conservative Brief ^ | February 3, 2023 | Carmine Sabia

Posted on 02/04/2023 6:00:48 AM PST by Twotone

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.

China may be attempting to screw around with us; but at
least they had the sense to use a Trojan (horse) do to so.

Deception is not limited to the USA alone. It is seen
world wide.

Golly its almost as if it is impossible to discover the truth. Almost as if your mind is purposely being manipulated.

At a house in Deleware, parked right next to a corvette.

[[Did they time travel and shoot it in the past?]]

If you stand backwards and shoot the gun, you can hit things in the last

Our power went out last night for 5 hours on the coldest night of the year so far. I blamed it on the balloon. That’s my story and I’m sticking to,it

That’s a lot of words to say “the chi ess scare the crsp out of us, so we decided to let them spy on us”

[[ This is an act of aggression against the US. ]]

Exactly, and they are laughing their butts off (the Chinese I mean) because the us under liberal “leadership” is too scared to stop the aggression with a greater show of aggression.

They likely stole or bought any high tech from us.

Everyone e is looking up at the sky, and meanwhile tiny chinese robots are scurrying around on the ground around places that hold top secrets while noone is looking.

True

But we would still want to know what sort of tech they stole and what their capabilities are.

Knowing what their capabilities are and what the balloon’s travel path was we would know what they intel the could have gathered.

Funny you should mention power outage in the context of this balloon.

It was one of my first thoughts when I heard about the balloon that it would might carry a EMP devise.

A balloon using Stealth technology could carry an Electro Magnetic Pulse devise high in the atmosphere to the center of the US and detonate crippling the US electric grid.

That is also the reason that it upsets me that our government has been so slow to react to this invasion of our territory by our most dangerous rival.

There's Dolly's fifteen minutes.

All of the speculation was about her post. It didn't come from her.

Same here. Th3 Chinese would,have never attempted this if Trump was president, yet sauce Biden is a faux president, the Chinese feel very secure taunting our nation. They know that the feckless lapdog msm will make every excuse under the sun to protect bidens lack of action.
The Chinese are having a good laugh over it all no doubt.
