Defense officials told reporters that military leaders refused to shoot the balloon down because a widespread debris field would pose a threat to civilian life in the rural state. According to The Wall Street Journal, President Joe Biden was briefed on the issue on Wednesday.
If the Pentagon knew the surveillance tool was on its way to the nuclear arsenal, however, why didn’t the president have it shot down when it was over Alaska? Was Biden’s Wednesday briefing his first? Why wasn’t he told sooner? Why didn’t officials inform the public when it crossed into U.S. airspace? Did our government maybe not catch the balloon and are now covering for their own negligence? And why didn’t the Canadians shoot it down?

A surveillance balloon with a payload underneath. It will be interesting to see if Americans start dropping dead in the coming weeks of that new virus Gates was promising to deliver.

That would be a spectacularly stupid way to attempt to deliver a virus.

The Japanese didn’t do that well with their balloons against the US in WW II.
No. Why would they???
Seriously? It’s a weather balloon.
The Chinese have high resolution satellites that can take more precise and more accurate pics than any weather balloon could every produce. It’s a balloon... It’s off course... It’s not worth noting.
Weather balloons from Canada probably float over the USA every day of the week. Don’t worry though... Trudeau’s too stoned to be bothered spying on you.
President Retard thinks it’s a party balloon 🎈
A whole lot of BS being spread by government, and reported reported by media.
I saw it this morning as it drifted over N Alabama. I think it is nothing but a weather balloon that won the long life lottery.
Here is the track and current position:

Back when SNL was funny…
Well it looks like there’s another on the way so lets see what their excuse is for not shooting the second one down before it gets over a highly populated area like Alaska or Montana. 😏
What an empty sack our “leaders” are.
"Our" government didn't tell the American people about those, either.
Currently over Talladega National Forest at 64K feet, drifting southeast at 10 kts.
Clay & Buck radio said that the military has been tracking this balloon for months.
Countdown to Senate and House hearings if that is true.
And we are just now hearing about it?
“A surveillance balloon with a payload underneath. It will be interesting to see if Americans start dropping dead in the coming weeks of that new virus Gates was promising to deliver.”
For this reason alone, it should have been shot down at the border, questions and explanations later. Another example of the increasingly invalid government of the United States failing miserably at what is arguably Job One in the Constitution - protecting the states from foreign invasion.

Only one year? :)
