Washington has been on high alert since its military destroyed a suspected Chinese spy balloon earlier this month.

While he didn't say specifically that the two latest objects were Chinese, Mr Schumer told ABC on Sunday that Beijing was likely using a "crew of balloons" that had "probably been all over the world".

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that the latest object was shot down on Saturday over the Yukon in north-west Canada.

Is that so chuck? 🙄

Chuck’s on it, everyone.

I'm struck by the similarity between the Chinese’ choice to use a balloon and Adam Schiff’s head.

Well, I can’t blame Mr. Schumer there. No one in DC wants to upset their Chinese masters. Plus maybe it wasn’t even Chinese! It could have been one of those old WW I zeppelins that’s still floating around. By sure to check the insignia on the side, guys.

It’s a new way for China to smuggle money to the Uniparty.

Even the pilots who were sent up to attempt an ID of the object issued conflicting reports. One pilot said that it seemed to interfere with his aircraft's instrumentation. (Source was CNN's Nat'l Intel Reporter so take with salt.)

Photos say otherwise.

I think we hired balloons to do the latest pop ups. In fact, I’d bet on it...but Biden and his fabulous military leaders will never fess up.

[bigbob]

I’m waiting for confirmation from other gas-filled objects...Hillary?

[aimhigh]

We can now expect China to release hundreds of balloons to tease us.

“a “crew of balloons”

Yeah, saw that too. Something new.

Bushel of apples, flock of geese, pride of lions, herd of cattle. Now we can add a crew of balloons, and a cluster XXXX of democrats.

Gotta watch out for that CLUSTER.......

[chopperk]

Chucky is one smart politician.

[inchworm]

But what about risk to civilian casualties. Not waiting till object is over the ocean blows dumb Joe’s argument out of the waters to why he didn’t shoot down first balloon over Alaska or Montana.

With all his hot air he could keep a balloon aloft for a long time.

Balloon gate the latest cover up tool for dirty deals going on.
