So what was that explosion seen and recorded on video over Billings yesterday then?

When you see the missile hit the balloon here, there is no explosion or huge flash like in that video from Montana…and that video has gone right into the black hole.

They did. In any case, it takes about a week for a balloon to deflate.

This was all theater. The government has known about the balloon since it left China - which I think is why Blinken was suddenly going to China - and it was only found (visually, I believe) when it was about a week out over Montana. Then Blinken cancelled his meeting.

Somebody or even some agency saw the balloon and when it became public knowledge, the Biden regime had to react. But not before China got what it wanted and (probably) paid for. Look to see some US university involved in this.

Just my suspicions and speculation, not backed by insider knowledge...but that’s how I see it.

I am sure with this terrifying display of spending millions to shoot down a bag of helium AFTER it crosses 3000 miles of US territory that the Chinese wont be messing with the US again at least until after they recover from their hernia surgeries brought on by uncontrollable hysterical fits of laughter

AFTER it crossed the Country. including our Strategic Missile Bases and Bomber bases, and it gathered all the intel it could, the chicoms ALLOWED that weak-assed, senile SOB Pedo Joe to have it shot down.

But hey, "The Big Guy" got a nice fat check from them!

Agreed....perfect coordinates tied to China’s own data base...which can’t be blocked.

I gotta agree. I was super glad to see it shot down, but it’s a small victory; the commies not only probably got intel, but they also learned what our commander in chief would do in a real attack. WE are weak and indecisive. THEY are strong…

Not good for us…

That was a funny episode. “Return of the Living Dead” movie is a good and funny one also.

Heard a bit ago that it flew over three bases. Seemed to be the goal. Surprise!

Joe Biden is a bought and paid for Chicom lackey and we are stuck with him.

Now that you brought that up, perhaps there was some sort of a two-way pass of info from one to the other?
There was a reported Chinese spy balloon over central/South America. Aren’t there Chinese military in South America?

It would have been nice if they had gotten hold of the equipment that did the spying for analysis. If it was up to the military they would have done that, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they were ordered to let it go to the ocean bottom never to be seen again.
