The U.S. is considering a plan to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon once it crosses over the Atlantic Ocean, where it could fall without causing harm to anyone below and potentially be recovered, a senior U.S. official told Fox News.
President Biden addressed the balloon briefly Saturday in response to a reporter's question, saying, "we're going to take care of it."
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Well to be fair that is the approximate spot the last nukes fell on the United States. Still buried in the coastal mud.
And when it can be lost in the ocean with no one able to witness the full extent of the equipment they had hovering over our lands.
Not necessarily.
Punch a few holes in the envelope and it will come down very slowly and hit the water partially inflated for a soft landing. The partially inflated balloon will keep the thing from sinking. Water damage to the ISR pod can be a problem but can be mitigated if they work fast to recover.
Even if damaged, the ISR pod contents can give a good read on Chinese tech and who they stole It from
Kellogg said if it fall past continental shelf we will not be able to recover it due to size.
Utter crap.
I’ll bet if that balloon had, “Trump 2024,” stenciled on it they’d have shot it down licketty split.
That phone ringing right now is to scramble navy seal teams.
“We gotta do something to protect our phoney-baloney jobs.”
*yep, shoot down to appease the mob but do it where no one will ever be able to examine the remains for the balloon’s true purpose. Win-Win for Joe!*
Pretty smart wouldn’t you say? Obama was ‘buried at sea’.with The ‘muslim burial’ must have appeased somebody.
All i know is- it was discovered that biden had top secret documents all over the place, and next thing we know, a chinese balloon if floating around our country
coincidence? I think not
Winds on the South Carolina Coast are out of the NORTHEAST, SO COULD BLOW INTO GEORGIA, there is a circular flow trailing those northeast storms could go then across Alabama and then up into Tennessee. and maybe Virgina,

Hopefully will land at Joe’s beachouse. Maybe CCP is trying to burn his house to hide the evidence, haha.
The fing bastards got what they were after shot the thing they won’t care.
Wow. They better act fast.
The research balloons we launched in the 50’s as a means to learn more about space,
weighed about 4,000 pounds.
If the thing doesn’t completely burn up (which it probably won’t) I don’t want it landing on my house.
Great. After it has collected and transmitted all the information it needs. A little late, it is…
