No, this is all just theater to make it look like the Biden government...which has actually known all about the balloon since it left China about 10 days ago...is doing something.

Shooting it down is not only nearly impossible but meaningless, since the balloon has already done its work, it takes about a week for a balloon to deflate, and at this point we apparently (according to other posters) don’t have anything that could get to balloon height.

In any case, I don’t think it’s an immediate attack threat. It’s obviously surveillance and reconnaissance, and Biden is bought and sold to the Chinese so he doesn’t care. No other President or administration would have allowed this.

OH how fitting for a spy balloon......yet our borders are fully open for them to come over the border or be smuggled in for a price!

80.5% of the "illegal aliens" the Border Patrol apprehended at the Mexican border came from some other country and tried to use the U.S.-Mexico border as a pathway into the United States.

Maybe they can change altitude, pick up an east wind, and go back to China?

Why use something as complicated as a balloon to send biological weapons into the US when you can just include them in the next shipment of fentanyl?

“ That china is mapping out of route for a land invasion”

Why would they spend the resources for that? They already own the U.S. government, they bought it on the open market. And if they wanted to invade, just contact the Mexican cartels that control the southern border, they can just walk the invasion force in.

That’d be a hoot—if the Chinese could somehow steer it and keep it above the CONUS land mass. As long as the rule is not to shoot it down while it’s above land, that’s a perpetual hall pass for the ChiComs.

Next stop, NS Norfolk.

Then, Washington D.C.!

Because china is not looking to make the United States a puppet government they’re looking to make their own view of the world and imposed upon everything

“TFRs in Foreflight.”

That’s what the kids are calling it these days.

Per AP it’s been brought down off the Carolina coast. They’re out there retrieving its parts now.

TFR - Temporary Flight Restriction

As in “Don’t go here right now or you’ll be in trouble, we have military operations going on!”

Foreflight is a pilot app that lets you look at things like that, file flight plans, etc.
