Pisspoor reporting. Said the same thing over and over several times.

If nothing was there, why did they bother writing about it? Rhetorical.

Probably a lie. I wonder what they are up to and using this as a distraction?

This is all part of a concerted effort to get Joe re-elected by making him look like a “bad ass”.

Well, I'm glad they clarified that it wasn't issued at 9:30 pm on Saturday morning. /s

That balloon could have been detected, then “landed” after detection to test its evasive capabilities.
