“Previously, Taiwan’s defense ministry had only confirmed one incident in February last year, in which multiple Chinese balloons in four batches loitered over the north of the country,” the new report from the Financial Times explains. The spy balloons over Taiwan are suspected to be the kinds of reconnaissance necessary for a full-scale invasion of the country,...The Financial Times reports that experts believe the balloons seen over Taiwan were developed by the Equipment Development Department, which develops weapons under China’s Central Military Commission.

I think it’s high time for other countries to return the favor to China. Let’s send China all manner of balloons; big, small, quiet, beeping, maybe even flame throwing!
And if China so much as dares to shoot down one of our balloons, we tell them, they just better think twice about it!
The only reason Biden is likely to send balloons over China is the deliver voting ballots.
Could the big balloon have been some type of mothership gathering apparatus? And these new objects that are being found were the children that each have different specific abilities?
And pallets of money.
China should release them in the shape of dragons... lol

JUST IN - Pentagon does not know to what keeps these “objects” aloft, unknown propulsion systems.
“We’re calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason,” says U.S. Air Force General Glen VanHerck.
MORE - General VanHerck says that he hasn’t “ruled out anything yet” when asked whether he rules out aliens.
UPDATE - Unnamed U.S. defense official now tells Reuters that there is “no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity” in recent takedowns of aerial objects.

My theory about the airspace closures and intercepts is that the DoD cracked open that first Chinese balloon and found sensory capabilities that really freaked them out, so now they are being hyper-vigilant about any and all radar anomalies.
Letting the public speculate harmlessly about aliens is better than admitting that hostile systems can just waltz in past the radar filtering software.

[Excerpt:]
“Meanwhile, the US revealed that the unidentified objects that were shot down earlier in the week over Canada and Alaska were balloons that carried a payload.
The US officials described the airship as ‘small metallic balloon with a tethered payload,’ FOX News reported.”
Our Defense does not need to tell the world anything that we don’t want China to know, so Bergman was incorrect and beside the point.
