Next: Weather balloon crashes into Area 51.👽
Everyone denies it.😇
Why is this a big deal?
Russian spy satellite sits back and watches Chinese balloon hovering over US, Russian Ballon in route.
Sure. Let’s just let it keep floating around collecting information. Shoot it down you idiots.
99 red balloons?
Secretary of State Anony Blinken arrives in Beijing for talks on Sunday.
Guess they wanted to send him a welcoming present.
I am surprised that joe didn’t tell everyone in Montana to step out on their back porches and fire off a couple of rounds at it! Regardless of the idea that buckshot can’t get up to about 60,000 feet in altitude.
Idea.
Have all the 290,086 Chinese college students, the many tech workers sending classified access information and the average anti-American Chinese here to undermine the country go outside in the dark to turn on high powered flashlights at the same time as the spy balloon passes overhead.
I remember when the Echo satellite was passing overhead and many of us (me included) went outside to watch the white streak slowly go by. One of the early tests for what evolved into our internet and cell phone system.
wut air defense doing???
Puncture it.
Is there any control of these atmospheric balloons, or do they just drift with the wind??? have the Chinese any way of retrieving them??
“The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that there was a ground stop in Billings, Montana, on Wednesday but an agency spokesperson did not share more details.”
What does this sentence mean?
Is that the one I saw on Flight-24 over Oklahoma last night?
I saw the supposed video of it a while ago.... IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUSLY THE MOON.
However there are some balloons flying and I assume spying above us on behalf of OUR government. They are listed as part of Project Loon, which was supposedly shut down two years ago.
Yesterday HBAL616 was flying over NM, East of Albuquerque and Santa Fe:

And today, HBAL617 (perhaps the same balloon with different transponder number???) was flying over Eastern NM, North Texas, Kansas and is now over Arkansas.

Is there a picture of this so-called Chinese balloon? What is stopping us from shooting this damn thing down if it’s over United States territory? This sounds like an idiot story, so what is the real story? I’m not buying any of this until I see proof
One over Atlanta, too /s

They should just grab it and bring it to the ground using a sky hook.
EMP trial run.
