A second Chinese “surveillance balloon” was spotted flying over Latin America after another one traveling across the continental U.S. was detected earlier in the day, officials confirmed Friday evening.
“We are seeing reports of a balloon transiting Latin America. We now assess it is another Chinese surveillance balloon,” Brig. Gen Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said. “We have no further information to provide at this time.”
The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed in a statement earlier on Friday that the high-altitude balloon that was first seen over Montana on Wednesday belongs to China, but claimed it is a weather balloon that was blown off course by wind.
U.S. officials countered the comment, instead speculating that it is a surveillance balloon. They have not shot it down over fears that doing so could risk public safety.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a scheduled trip to China after the balloon was detected. A State Department official said the conditions are “not right” for Blinken to make the trip at this time and noted that the balloon is a violation of international law and U.S. sovereignty.

Either Mexico or Canada would be easy pickings for China—especially Canada. They take over Canada by declaration and we have China as a next-door neighbor.
“A suspected Chinese spy balloon has been spotted again in US airspace - over North Carolina.”

I do like that line.

China claimed the first balloon drifted off course due to wind, hope so they explain this second one? Will we see more of these? Will BuyDum just look up at the clouds and wave to the pretty little balloons?

wrong. the Black hat’s balloon was designed to
stay over Wyoming and Montana militias before
releasing diseases, old and new locally.
NO satellite could continually monitor —
or release the biowarfare the Black hat’s use
against the American public they promised Obola
they would be willing to murder any day, any time,
for him and his controllers.
Our Marines are there and having a clear picture of that group would be necessary.
WHY would China use surveillance balloons? Don’t they have spy satellites?
“WHY would China use surveillance balloons? Don’t they have spy satellites?”
Very easy way to bring in a cargo of whatever...Lots of easier ways of surveillance so I to think there is more to this than meets the eye.

This is a 3rd balloon as one has been sited in Canada as well. Or at least that was being reported yesterday.
Hal Turner reported last night that his inside sources claim there are eight balloons over or headed toward North America, and four apiece over South America and Down Under. He also said USAF sensors detected a “radiological payload.” If true, this might explain the odd reluctance to bring it down. Make of this what you will.
“to determine which border is best for an invasion”
Or to find out who has the best dope. The Chinese invented the opium dens. They may be looking for a better price than their current suppliers. Capitalism through a diverse market.

The question: What can a large visible balloon do that a small, impossible to see (from the ground) do that a satellite can’t do?
dump its cargo
dry run for an emp?
If there’s an EMP attack - and it’s only a question of time before there’s one - are we ready? Will 90% of us die the first year?
One second after?
Another reason to support Trump. He understands infrastructure beyond ‘racist roads’...
