Boy do I feel secure about our ability to fight a nuclear war.

Nena’s, “99 Luftbaloons,” turns out to be not just a snappy 80’s euro-dance hit, but a bit prophetic as well...

[Regulator]

Bunk.

Primary target of that size shows up not just on ordinary FAA ARTCC radars but air defense radars and other sensors all across the EM spectrum.

A lizard doesnt cross US borders that isnt either tracked or is trackable.

And there’s nothing stealthy about the hunk of junk hung below the bag of that thing - it looks like a weird copy of an old MILSTAR bus.

This guy is doing CYA for the Thief in Chief.

“A suspected Chinese surveillance balloon shot down off the US coast was about 200 ft (60m) tall and carrying an airliner-sized load, officials say. At a briefing on Monday, a US defense official said the size and make-up of the object informed the decision not to shoot it down while it was over land.”

Buuuuut they “missed” detecting it.

However FAA can fine you $25,000.00 for not flying an eight inch drone correctly.

“Um, well look, if we built this large, wooden badger.”

[Bulwyf]

It probably launched from CFB Suffield in southern Alberta. I think US should invade.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Tricky word speak there. If there were no balloons the statement is true but tone leaves doubt that there were balloons. Obama generals worshipping at Bidens fly.

[Political Junkie Too]

I KNEW they were spending too much time tracking Santa Claus!

Trump left office two years ago, yet neither during his time in office nor the last two years were there reports about balloons, yet after a week of Biden taking incoming, the military suddenly "pieces together" that Trump had balloons 5 years ago?

"We had gaps on prior balloons”

Mr.President, we can’t allow for a balloon coverage gap !

[steve86]

NORAD might not have detected it but NRO knew all about it.

[BradyLS]

It’s nice to know that our military, when they aren’t flat-out missing threats, bring up or withhold knowledge of them based on who’s in office. /S

[rxh4n1]

The lies from these idiots keep getting more brazen and stupid.

[TChad]

The truth is out there, but we do not intend to find it.

[Billthedrill]

OK now, just to bring us all up to date, I see that the Chinese balloons penetrated U.S. air space three times during the Trump administration undetected, then they were detected but nobody told him because Orange Man Bad, then they were detected but nobody knew it until later, and now that they were only detected by intelligence agencies who failed to pass the word on to the DoD who didn't detect them. Until just now. When they detected them.

Man, am I glad they cleared that up.

[gdzla]

If you didn’t detect them how do you know they were there?

[NWFree]

“ We had gaps on prior balloons,”

They have gaps between their ears

[FlingWingFlyer]

Screamin’ Mexican invaders and their allies freely charging across our border. Russian balloons floating over America. Meanwhile, O’Bama and Holder’s “17 intelligence communities” are still out there trying to overthrow President Trump. Dumbasses.

[Chode]

“We had gaps on prior balloons,”

there’s that DAMN BALLOON GAP again...

i mean for crying out loud, they track PAINT CHIPS IN SPACE!!!

WTAF???
