Thompson {{ Art Thompson, CEO of California-based company Sage Cheshire Aerospace which provides stratospheric balloon launching and research services}} has advocated for the United States to shoot down the balloon currently moving eastward over the nation with laser weapons. He believes that U.S. authorities still have several days to take action before the balloon reaches international waters, but the one over Costa Rica would have a much shorter timeline.“It’s going to be out of touch fairly quickly because in Costa Rica, they’re going to be across into the gulf pretty fast,” he said.
“The Chinese are definitely testing us and preparing for something.”
The Chineee are definitely preparing us for something - A THREAT! = SUBMIT!
How about the third or fourth balloon carrying a small nuclear device at 60,000 feet - setting off an EMP. We would be crippled as a nation for decades!!!!! - - - - Oh! Wait! Joe Bitem has it all under control!
