“Data was certainly uplinked to satellite constantly.”

Once over the US, they probably just downloaded through a cellular 5G network.

Yes they got everything they could wish for.

They had to expect to lose the balloon and its payload when they planned the mission.

However they would never expect for the balloon to traverse the continent unmolested unless they had bought Biden.

Under any other president they would expect the balloon to be shot down as soon as it was discovered if they would even attempt such an intrusion.

Going to get a whole lot more bonkers. We’re in the early stages of a growing global power struggle.

I wonder how much that air-to-air missile cost.

The last thing the balloon saw as the raptor attacked:

A day late and a dollar short.

More like a week late. Our military/NORAD had be tracking the balloon since it was over the Pacific Ocean. There was ample time to safely shoot it down prior to collecting any intelligence. Biden and the military are both pushing the excuse that they waited until it was safe. A lot of Americas are naive or just plain ignorant and will just take the government’s and leftist media’s excuses. The balloon traveled over AK and multiple states that vast open spaces where it could have been taken down prior to collecting any intelligence. I am very certain that the intelligence was collected and relayed to CCP satellites. It is not likely that the Chinese had any intention to recover the balloon. In fact, just using my simple and unsophisticated mind, if I were the Chinese, I would make sure any instrument and data in the balloon payload would self destruct prior to our recovery of the balloon. We are not going to have any definitive idea what specific intelligence the Chinese gathered by examining the balloon payload wreckage.

It is clear to me that there is enough money that has passed to the Biden Crime Family and the Penn Biden Center from China that Joe Biden has been compromised. He is owned by the Chinese and is giving hideously unbelievable excuses for his allowing the Chinese to spy on us. Biden needs to be impeached, removed from office and then have criminal espionage charges brought against him.

Just as worrisome is the lack of response and excuses coming from the military. The Joint Chiefs and a lot of woke Pentagon paper pushers need to be retired. They failed in their duty to protect America. Their woke asses need to be fired.

“”Then our glorious leader had the balloon shot down over the Alantic Ocean, so recovery of the balloon’s technology package will be problematic at best.””

I don’t know how anyone could see it any different!! Make it impossible to retrieve any information. I know we’ve all gotten pretty cynical, jaded and skeptical but conditions put in place call for it; we didn’t always live our lives like this.

Xi will use this to justify taking out a U.S. Sat.

Biden will poop his pants.

The small squiggly contrail near the end is the missile. The heavy contrail is the fighter that then passes by the popped balloon.

One of the greatest terrible monster flicks ever made. But not quite on a level with Plan 9.
