A suspected Chinese spy balloon that was initially discovered over Montana has sailed across the United States and could end up over the Carolinas later this weekend, according to a report.

The Chinese balloon was discovered hovering at about 60,000 feet just north of Billings, Montana, on Thursday before it moved over Columbia, Missouri, Friday. It could make its way as far east as Raleigh, North Carolina, by Saturday afternoon, according to WNCN.

Defense officials have said the balloon over Montana has not exploded.

Yeah, but “Daily Mail”!! (And the “Dolly sayz” video) ;-) In any case do we trust the DoD press spokesperson lately? How about a Montana local with a .50 BMG?? (Never mind....50 BMG not good for 11 miles up).

The Chinese are probing Joe's resolve re: the defense of America. But all they found was enough hot air to fill another spy balloon.

On a serious note, this balloon, among other things, is a message to the American people that China can do as it likes within our borders and China Joe will do nothing.

How much money Joe and Hunter will receive for this endeavor?

Interesting fact, I fly to China a lot as an operating crewmember. In Shenzhen there is a Gulfstream 550 (nice business jet) parked on the ramp that has “Hunter” painted across the top of the fuselage on each side. I wonder why that is…

Joe is waiting for word from China if he can do anything or not.

"Suspected Chinese spy balloon could end up over the Carolinas later this weekend if Biden fails to take action"

It's interesting that the Chinese would apply a so seemingly vulnerable method of transporting spying equipment potentially providing an opportunity for the United States to retrieve it for a thorough analysis of the technology used. Unless, of course, the Chinese anticipated this in advance and took measures to prevent that from happening.

Was there a big sign on the side of that jet that said "Don't come a knocking if the Gulfstream is a rocking"?

Spy balloon, or bioweapon spreading virus?

I wonder if this is making some of the idiot Biden voters wish Trump was still Commander in Chief.

Perhaps it was supposed to be a covert means of airdropping the Biden Crime Family’s paychecks from the ChiComs.

I think it’s low cost way to catch sight of American’s military and industrial bases and gather information. It is unlikely that there is any valuable technology on that balloon, so no great loss when it becomes lost.

Sigh. Unfortunately, they would rather the USA go to hell in the Biden handbasket than to ever admit that Trump might have been right. I have family like that.

Has anyone else been invited to a Chinese balloon party? It’s a thing.
