Does the fabric have a “handwoven by your local uyghurs” label on it somewhere?

Well, that’s just great. With a little luck the Navy might fish a good portion of the ChiCom balloon out of the water. But if the balloon had been downed over land instead we’d have all of it, the whole thing.

Can’t have that! It would upset Biden’s Chinese associates. So let’s bring the balloon down over water. And then we can celebrate what scraps of it we can find.

Biden is getting us into a war with Russia and China at the same time.

Why am I wary about this being true pictures. We can always trust what our government and military tells us. Right?

It’s the payload that counts, not the balloon itself. Purposeful misdirection.

Roswell was first reported as aliens, and then the story changed to be a weather balloon.

This was first reported as a weather balloon...

Maybe they are worried that people will think they faked the take down. Of course you never know.

Reminds me of the incident when the Government/US Military issued photos of a deflated weather balloon in place of what eye witnesses says was a crashed UFO in Roswell NM on July 7, 1947. Trust this government?? No F in way!

Now it costs 20 millions more to recover the water soaked and short circuited debris. Than a simple shoot down over land.

More taxpayer monies blown. They could give a *****
