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

I doubt if there is anything too sophisticated aboard that balloon. The Chinese wouldn't risk putting any advanced technology in there in the event we did recover it. The Chinese know they couldn't fly this thing through our airspace undetected. My guess is this is literally a "trial balloon" to see what our response would be.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes me too.

That would involve logic and intelligence. Biden goes from doing nothing to redneck “blowing stuff up”.

From what I have heard the balloon is at 60,000 feet. The only craft that can get that high are military jets and other balloons. Jets go too fast to snag it and balloons are minimally maneuverable.

“so we can find out everything about it.”

With the balloon destroyed we have to assume it was full of classified documents recently sent aloft at Biden’s beach house.

[Syncro]

Yes, me too!

Lasso it and drag it to earth.
