In a recent development, the Biden regime’s Department of Defense (DoD) has stated it will not interfere with a potential spy balloon reported over American airspace.

This is ridiculous...We are being destroyed from within. Think about what china is doing, and what this means. Unless we have the alien technology and they are going to come out and stop the missiles from hitting, or the smallpox from spreading at the last minute, It's OVER.

The Orange Jeebus is not coming back, you idiots! He's done. And so are we. They can not let him win. They will not. Most of us are too fractured, weak, old, comfortable, fat, scared, and retarded to take back the country now. We do need, however, to prepare to take back the ruins if we aren't all eliminated beforehand. Will you fatasses do that much, at least?

A two seater bi plane.

Pilot and gunner configuration.

I guess oxygen bottles too.

“So balloons, when they get high enough, don’t need to be inflated?”

At 57000 feet a couple of bullet holes will bring it down but the leak rate would be so slow that it would take days or probably a week or two to drop to an altitude where it will finally empty out and fall.

A bullet puncture, of course, doesn’t affect high-altitude balloons at all. This is due to the small density differential between the inside and outside of the gas bag.

Put a wingtip of a U2 spycraft into the envelope. The envelope will tear open. That envelope is so thin, the aircraft probably will not even feel it.

LOL

At some point that’s probably a pretty safe bet.

Few aircraft can fly that high.

Old news or new balloons?

Doesn't matter, the old one was just an uncontrolled weather balloon........

They had to finally shoot it down to save face.......

A .25 cent payphone call to the guy who shot it down off the South Carolina coast will tell us how to splash it or thud it. 😉

I never thought the balloons were important news unless they were carrying weapons

Would you consider a complete spectrum analyzer with multi-protocol demodulation and decode a weapon? How about wide spectrum high resolution imaging systems? Add in the capability of real-time uplink to satellites.

Did you know that the EP-3 they captured was monitoring conversations between Chinese military and party officials, interpreting Chinese in real-time, translating to English, recording those files? Oh, the equipment could identify the speakers and label the output text accordingly.

That is what those balloons are most likely doing. Are they weapons? Most military planners treat "intelligence" with a higher value than weapons.

...and the U2 plane would be destroyed and the pilot probably killed. Otherwise, a great plan.

Once again, NOT CHINESE.

There are actually TWO of them up, and have drifted well east of Montana. One is over North Dakota, nearly on the South Dakota Border, and the other is on the South Dakota / Iowa border.

They belong to this company: https://aerostar.com/
They are HBAL634 and HBAL628.

You can track them yourself HERE:
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ace75a
and HERE:
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=acf636

Although I’m pretty sure that they are doing pretty much the same thing that they would be doing if they were Chinese:
Spying on the peasants in ‘flyover country’ under contract to some Government (likely out own.)
