Meanwhile the never Trumpers will say the same bs they always say about Trump and never get a clue.
This is the shi**** president the U.S. ever had and the left is the biggest bunch of clueless morons still.

Meanwhile the reds got what they needed.
My suspicion is that the thing was loaded with COVID-23 and they were hoping we'd shoot it down over land.

There were military planes tracking it.
Would they not have simply jammed to radio signals from the balloon?
Jamming has been done since WWII.

And, oh by the way, so NOTHING can be recovered and used to analyze what had been surveyed and what the instruments were. What the transmitter(s) , what the accuracy and focus style and methods of the active and receivers and cameras.

Later tonight, the dead start rising from their graves after whatever the balloon was dispersing soaks in.

Yep- how many military bases and missile silos did it fly over.China has a fleet of satellites with some of the most advance cameras available looking down at us constantly from space.
I can't imagine this balloon saw anything that these satellites haven't already seen.
Maybe, perhaps, it actually was a weather balloon?
Just because the Chinese lie most of the time doesn't mean they lie all of the time.
Anyhow, we should know soon enough. I'm confident it'll be recovered. We've got plenty of Navy assets operating in the area.

We have many military aircraft leaving contrails here over the past hour or so - suburbs of DC.

Maybe not, hopefully we got a compass call flight near it and fried the electronics before it got to the mainland. However I have no faith in our military leadership now.

Should have been shot down over the PACIFIC.
