"strong" recommendations from defense officials not to shoot down the aircraft due to safety to people on the ground.,

That is a really weak argument. The population density in Montana is 7.5 people per square mile. The population density of South Dakota is 5.9 people per square mile, 48th and 49th respectively in the entire US.

And Covid was a contracted weapon by the US government as well.

It is BALLOON!

Biden doesn’t want to shot it down, it probably has more classified documents onboard.

[erlayman]

If there is a substance that could get airborne I think is what they meant. Anyway, the Pentagon says it will only be there a few days. And how do they really know ??

[The Antiyuppie]

Yeah, well, but is he monitoring the situation closely?

[ridesthemiles]

Shoot it down over the Great Lakes

[Mr.Unique]

That’s not even close to the sighting locations.

[heavy metal]

sounds like a lot of hot air...

[americas.best.days...]

“made his decision”

Lmfaooo!!!!

As if.

He’s sitting by the phone, waiting on Xi to return his phone call.

What are the “open options?” Shoot it down or leave it up there. That’s about as black and white as you can get. And the biggest question is where did it come from?

Dan Bongino proved Brandon is a foreign agent on his show this week.

It was in the middle of Montana yesterday.

REALLY?? Might hit a cow. Wouldn’t that agree with their goals of reducing beef?

Might hit a person? Out in the middle of Montana or Washington/Oregon Mountains?

Haven’t the WEF crowd been TRYING to kill us off?

So many levels of lies.

The next Fake Pandemic could be on that test balloon or the next ones

[volunbeer]

Why does this feel like a Southpark episode?

[353FMG]

Another option is to board it if possible.

[Cen-Tejas]

I’ve read over 50 posts on this article and find none that state the obvious. Namely, the Communist Chinese have ALREADY accomplished their main goal. It was/is to launch a balloon at a certain place over their country and see if they can guide it using high altitude prevailing winds over the middle of the US without Biden shooting it down as he has been instructed NOT to do.

They’ve accomplished that. Next time maybe there will be multiple EMP’s on board or NUKE’s.

The Japanese set balloons during WWII

[Fledermaus]

How did even get that far into our air space?
