That balloon is less than 2 hours from flying over Savannah Georgia and going over the ocean. If they cleared the ships from that area then they have no excuse for not shooting it down.
Here is the balloon on flightradar: https://www.flightradar24.com/HBAL617/2f098365
Just looked at the flight radar … wow. I’d be worried if I lived in Savannah. The balloon seems to be heading straight to it.
Flitghtradar24.com says it’s NOT a Chinese ballon. It’s showing a U.S registration# N257... unless the govt. is trying to do a cover up....NOTHING surprises me these jackazzes in charge these days.
It could be carrying biologicals or some other really nasty crap. It would be great to snag it somehow and bring it gently down....for analysis.
That page has a remark that says:
AIRCRAFT TYPE(BALL)
Sorry, this is not a Chinese balloon
