Bizarre video of the aftermath shows a trail of smoke in the sky where the balloon was last spotted.

Dolly Moore, who took video of the scene, said she 'saw a jet go by so fast and then explosion in the sky. '

The Southpark episode becomes even more strange.

FWIW - I thought news reports were placing it over St. Louis on the way to Tennessee?

Why didn’t Canada shoot it down over it’s territory? Is Trudeau like Biden?

Nice little balloon you have there, Xi.
It’d be a real shame if something were to happen to it!

I was hoping they could attach a tow line and drag it down so we can find out everything about it.

NOT TO WORRY. We have a Chomo in Chief and a Chief Joints of Staff who promised to undermine the US military for the benefit of the Chinese. We are in good hands.

Adios Taiwan. I feel for you and your people.

Thanks for posting this thread. Jesse Waters reported this news at about 7:55pm ET. But he didn’t know what it was specifically.

That woman reporting “seeing a jet go by” then a massive explosion in the sky is NOT good…

BTW, Jesse Waters reposted that another Chinese Spy balloon has been spotted tonight over Latin America. Not sure specifically where…

Why didn’t the U.S. take it out over Alaska?

Yes, we heard that, too. Jesse Waters or Kevin Corke said there is yet another CCP spy balloon over Latin America…

“We will not shoot down that ballon”

Want about the second ballon?

”That one we shoot down”.

..... Hmmmmm ..... Earlier today the Daily Mail reported that there was an explosion in the sky with a resulting contrail above Montana and reports that it was actually shot down. Must not be true, otherwise the media here would have picked up the story ..... Or would they?

Trump’s fault. He forced Brandon to do something.

A purely symbolic gesture. It was necessary because public opinion demanded it but if it was to have meaning it would have been done over he Aleutian Islands.
