A NOAA air current model shows the China spy balloon is expected to traverse the United States heartland through the Midwest and Southern states on Friday before heading out to the Atlantic Ocean passing over the U.S. Navy base at Newport News, Virginia. Joe Biden refused to shoot down the balloon, however Secretary of State Antony Blinken cancelled a planned trip to Beijing in protest.

The NOAA HYSPLIT* model was used to reverse track the balloon from China. The balloon flew over the Aleutian Islands, then into Canada air space before crossing into U.S. airspace over Montana and a U.S. nuclear missile base on Wednesday.

Forecasting shows it continuing across the U.S. on Friday:

So is it spreading more virus or worse but at least we aren’t talking aboit the laptop....

pentagon just said:

“the balloon has a payload beneath the surveillance equipment”

pentagon presser

[elpadre]

don’t shoot it down as that might well destroy valuable equipment and instruments aboard. Bring it down intact. With all we do in our aviation and space programs surely it can be done!!!

[Red Badger]

Obviously spying on the Kansas City Chiefs.......................

[House Atreides]

10 PERCENT FOR THE BIG GUY!

[blackdog]

Biden supposedly dun-no-nuffin about a balloon.

[ClearCase_guy]

And then the EMP went off ...

[Sirius Lee]

Don't want to shoot it down until its payload under the balloon, as was mentioned by the Pentagon briefing, completely disperses the new virus over America as widely as possible.

Gates and Fauci are turgid with excitement!

[DouglasKC]

I don’t understand that if this is a real thing we’re just letting it fly over. I mean I get it that Biden is owned by China but this is so in your face...

[bitt]

presser did not answer how it “was manueverable”.

Could it be nuclear? Shooting it down would be like an EMP? I am sure I am not the only ignorant person wondering the same thing..

[Bob434]

with everyone in authority on the ground clutching at pearls, not knowing what to do- trembling in fear- hyperventilating- over a balloon!

[jacob allen]

Looks like a China spy plot to check Biden’s Resolve to defend his country. They are probably waiting for Biden to say “It’s ok if China doesn’t take too much of America.”

[laplata]

“And then the EMP went off ..”.

I’ve been thinking the same thing.

[1Old Pro]

Talk about a middle finger to Biden and his weakness.

if you know its there, it can be monitored to see what electronic signals it is sending. You can monitor its monitoring.

Depending on how high it is - some sources have said 50K feet, some have said 50 miles - if you shoot it down, it could cause damage on the ground

Norad confirmed there is a second balloon inbound too.

Look, this is only a minor incursion act of war.

[Diogenesis]

if it were Russian, they would have shot it down earlier.
as it and its poisonous cargo, grab info over the
nuclear and other sites of this country the CCP now controls!!!
They claim to KNOW it is safe.
Info from the Taliban or CCP??

oh, how they LOVE the Chinese even more than Americans.
Love and Treason, that's the reason.
