MSN is intellectually bankrupt, technically illiterate and a lying film of worthless pond scum.
There is no scientific output from such a fake organization.

Maj David Stuckenberg is acting director of strategic plans at HQ Texas Air National Guard, Camp Mabry (Austin), Texas. In this role, Major Stuckenberg helps lead and direct the Air Staff’s strategic planning directorate (A-8) to ensure modernization and force readiness across the nation’s largest National Guard, whose mission is to provide military support to state and civil authorities and domestic and international security operations directed by the president of the United States.
Stuckenberg enlisted in the USAF in March 2003 and was commissioned through the USAF-ROTC at the University of Missouri in 2008 after completing a bachelor of science degree. After commissioning, Major Stuckenberg earned his pilot wings and served in multiple military leadership and staff positions, including director of the 6th Air Mobility Wing, Commanders Action Group (CAG), and Chief of Plans and Programs (XP) during which he was programmatically responsible for bilateral US treaty compliance, $1 trillion in Department of Defense assets, and 33 tenant units (including two combatant commands). He has served as a combat aviator in both jet and propeller aircraft and has operational experience ranging from special operations and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to conventional and nuclear missions.
There is absolutely ZERO information on NORAD’s website, about the balloon intrusion. Funny... that-
NORAD proudly proclaims their interceptions of Russian aircraft on their website.

Thanks
You bet’cha!
The CONELRAD stations were there to give citizens advance warning of an imminent attack concerning things like this.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I’m pretty sure the two CONELRAD radio stations on the AM dial were not intended for advance warning.
The CONELRAD stations, if I’m not mistaken, were intended to complicate navigation for enemy bombers. Instead of having hundreds of radio stations, each with its own frequency that a bomber could home in on, all civilian radio stations would transmit only on the two CONELRAD frequencies.
Hence the name CONtrol of ELectronic RADiation.
Part of what they did was for disallowing attacks aircraft to hone in on radio signals. But it was also used to transmit information to the public. And we were talking about what the public was aware of.
“CONELRAD (Control of Electromagnetic Radiation) was a method of emergency broadcasting to the public of the United States in the event of enemy attack during the Cold War. It was intended to allow continuous broadcast of civil defense information to the public using radio stations, while rapidly switching the transmitter stations to make the broadcasts unsuitable for Soviet bombers that might attempt to home in on the signals (as was done during World War II, when German radio stations, based in or near cities, were used as beacons by bomber pilots).”

“…… according to intelligence officials”
Are these the same intelligence officials who claimed Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation?
You are far too kind to our military leadership, accusing them of mere incompetence.
Bio weapon delivery and spying seem to be logical
FYI: The warhead on the US Sidewinder missile did NOT detonate when it impacted the Chinese War Balloon. It could be because the target was too soft to cause the missile’s impact fuse to work, and maybe its proximity fuse could not “see” the thin floating balloon enough, that it was unable to reflect enough of a signal to “read” its proximity. But more likely? I believe the US Air Force removed the explosive warhead from the missile, so they were basically firing a supersonic dart at the balloon, so as to take no chances of damaging the technological apparatus it was carrying!
