If they were smart the people of Taiwan,Hong Kong,Japan and South Korea would be pooping their pants right now. The Butchers of Beijing are showing that The Big Guy is *absolutely* not to be feared.
Musta been to rub our noses in it and humiliate us before the global community
bkmk
The Hindenburg was not a balloon, it was a dirigible, with pretty substantial engine power for it’s day.
Entire story reeks of disinformation from both sides:
1. There is nothing the Chinese would get from a balloon that they couldn’t already get from satellite.
2. It was detected so early and tracked for so long, we had DAYS to move anything they might have accidently discovered.
3.Technically, they had no reason to send a “spy balloon over the US.
4. So, it was a propaganda effort.
From our side:
5. They had ample opportunity to shoot it down over the open plains of Montana and South Dakota.
6. They waited to shoot it down over water. So no farmers or hunters could see what was actually in it.
It is all for show.
Mission Accomplished, and for a fraction of the usual cost for effective propaganda.
1: My guess (and I haven't heard anyone mention this) is that since the balloon could be controlled remotely...It was transmitting data remotely. Meaning it really had no "hard drive" to store any info.
So it is even MORE infuriating that it was allowed to fly--and Unkkkle Joe let it happen.
2: We don't have the tech to send up a drone and "gently" capture it? The debris field was supposedly 7 miles. That means we shot it down caveman style. This is the BEST we could do?
We are in deep shit, my friends.
3: Pfizer was proven, with the help of James O Keefe’s latest undercover video, to be doing exactly what we thought they were doing. Talk radio did the bare minimum on it. Fux likely did even less. So if the Government Media Matrix wants to suppress anything, they will. WHY did this all of a sudden become news?
Alex Jones was screaming a warning at the top of his lungs about it, and he was right.
But the Soros press says Alex Jones talked about Newtown, so he can be safely disregarded.
Not true. Low earth surveillance does lots of things that satellites cannot ever do. For instance, mapping cell and wi-fI footprints, and scooping their data. Since Global Strike (Minuteman III) personnel communicate using various devices that use high frequency, they cannot be intercepted from space.
There is a reason why our military has C-130 EW, and P-8 aircraft that can loiter off the coast of hostile nations - because satellites are mostly for observing infrastructure - whereas low earth platforms are for surveillance of people and their communications.
The Chinese Spy airship wasn’t for taking pictures, it was for signal intelligence.
Indeed!
The winds aloft are not uniform in their direction. By lowering or increasing altitude you can control direction. Go to the NOAA website and you can read this information for various altitudes.
As open as our country is, I assume that China has already mapped pretty much every signal that can be picked up by a moving vehicle.
There are satellite systems capable of SigInt.

Just the first google search.
If China wasn’t continuously uploading, they got nothing.
I still think it was a ruse by China for other reasons.
I took the time to read this person’s thread, and I am now dumber for consuming their logic.
Xi is mocking O’biden.
Don’t kid yourself, our NR is 2nd to nobody. Nor is the NSA.
But DC? Snake Pit full of Traitors.
Hindenburg was powered by large diesels driving propellers.
Balloons drift with the wind, but by deliberating changing altitudes into and out of the different winds at the different heights, they can “steer” in general directions from west to east. Never able to go directly against the local winds at any given altitude though.
Bump.
Elon Musk knows how important low orbit is.
The Chi Coms “get it”.
It was more of a blimp/dirigible than an outright balloon.
There was a rudder, and some sort of propulsion.
Plus the infamous “payload” spoken of by the Air Farce General.
Nobody needs to mock Biden. He makes a fool of himself daily. The balloon dropped below where they normally fly. We don’t know if it’s China, it could be our own. Look how consumed folks are. An impressive distraction.
