The Biden administration planned to keep the Chinese spy balloon that traveled across North America this year a secret from the public and even from Congress — and only came clean after civilians saw the massive white orb over Montana, according to a damning new report.
“Before it was spotted publicly, there was the intention to study it and let it pass over and not ever tell anyone about it,” a former senior US official told NBC News Friday, nearly 11 months after the balloon penetrated American airspace and began a meandering week-long tour of sensitive military sites.
When the North American Aerospace Defense Command saw the huge spycraft enter US airspace over Alaska Jan. 27, commander Gen. Glen VanHerck called Gen. Mark Milley, President Biden’s top military adviser, to flag the administration on the alarming intrusion.

Stupid, slacking, FBI. If they were at all worthwhile, they would have eliminated all those pesky citizens poking their noses where they don't belong (in the sky above them).
Poor Ol' Double-Scoop, surrounded by incompetents.

Doesn’t anyone remember the flaming ball of wreckage coming down in Montana? I saw it on Twitstorm. That one is down the memory hole. Only the one downed on the East Coast is thus far “official”. Damn this administration has been sold out.

shooting that balloon down with a missile was military malpractice.
They could have taken it down with guns for a slow deflation which would have given us a the entire system relatively intact
Could have done a lot “studying” that way.

But Biden himself was not informed until Jan. 31, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was too “focused” on a diplomatic trip to Asia to pay heed, according to multiple officials in the administration and Congress.
That makes me feel so protected. Not!

RE: let it pass over and not ever tell anyone about it,
So do that with bribes to Bidens from foreign officials, widespread vote count fraud and facts showing climate change is not man made? Just keep the little secrets?

Biden accepted $ millions in secret payments from the CCP.
Biden covered up the CCP spy balloon and allowed the spy balloon to complete its mission.
This is espionage, and Biden is a Chinese agent.
