Speculating as to why is not hard.
The Chinese almost have to invade Taiwan before 2024, because they don’t know who will be President.

I gotta admit I never thought I’d see seemingly otherwise intelligent people seriously suggesting we’re being invaded by space aliens.

BUT THE BOTTOM LINE : What’s become clear in the public discussion is that we don’t really have adequate radar systems. We certainly don’t have an integrated missile defense system.

Could this be the primary reason the first downed ChiCom balloon carried high-tech equipment capable of collecting communications signals and other sensitive information?

Information, no doubt, that was sent back to China on a real-time basis, further exposing the inexplicable lack of reaction by woefully incompetent Joe Biden for at least a week before he finally succumbed to public pressure and shot down the first balloon only after it had traversed the entire U.S. mainland and headed out over the Atlantic Ocean.

The Republican House should push the issue of funding closing the gaps in the U.S. air defense infrastructure system, ASAP, to the max — and dare Senate Democrats and Joe Biden to oppose it.

Braindead is a Chicom stooge. And he loves aliens. Illegal that is.

The people saying it’s a charade by the Biden regime are probably not far off, imo.

If they shot the object down, then what came down?

Does anyone know why the rare Arctic Albatrosses are being shot down?? At this rate, they’ll go extinct. Biden strikes again.

So far nothing recovered from the three smaller objects.

Yes.

It’s not hard to look at it.

Because they’re a danger to high volume of commercial air traffic over Prudhoe Bay.

The Biden admin said so.

of course they know. or at least, they know who will choose the winning candidate.

You don’t think we are voting our way out of this, do you?
