I don’t understand why you’re going to such lengths to promote the CCP’s narrative

I don’t either.

No one is saying they know for sure what it was, but why do we have a couple of posters who are adamantly defending the idea that it’s only a weather balloon. Why is it ok to push that theory, but not ok to discuss other possibilities?

I am not adamantly defending that it's only a weather balloon. I am merely suggesting that it's not out of the realm of possibilities. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Honestly, I don't know WTF it was. But I do know that China has a fleet of spy satellites watching us constantly so I do question what additional info an unguided balloon can gather. Maybe something? I don't know.

Or, maybe it was just a weather balloon.

I'm not dying on this hill though because I don't know what it was. Could be sinister. But it could just as easily be benign.
