Good catch.

Yesterday someone predicted the Chicoms did NOT want anyone to see the devices they sent to spy on us (or release more bioweapons or test decoys).

I joked the US could send the devices to the Wright Patterson hangar like the ship that crashed near Area 51. Veterans from the era pointed out the left rear corner where the ship was once set down (on Ancient Aliens video).

Biden let Red China fly a surveillance balloon across America because he didn’t want to excite the Chi coms. Even our military was said to say, Don’t shoot it down.” We are letting a main adversary of us walk all over us.

Pres. Joe finally let be shoot down at sea near S. Carolina. Even that was a fail as the debris was not recovered so we don’t know what it was made to see and tell what it saw.

Or just a reflection off the solar panels.

Part of me says we knew this balloon was in the air 5 minutes after they released it. No way it is going to float over South Korea, Japan, (maybe Russia) the Aleutian islands with all the bases there watching the horizon. Someone in chomo Joe’s administration ordered nothing to be done and chomo Joe hoped it would just float away without anyone seeing it. Why? Who knows.

Or two... The scary part. No one was watching the horizon at any of our bases and the Chinese have been using these for who knows how long to test our weaknesses and map the sky where they can send whatever they want without detection. AND They are using Russian and North Korean airspace to do it.

Either way. The Bidens always get their cut.

One rumor is that it allowed Chicom spies to transmit info using low-power, and unmonitored, radio.

....

Easy to have the data off loaded to a passing Chinese satellite.

It is a very typical move for them. In your face - and yet, not. Much like they have done the South China Sea, where hey made a new island, here they are exploiting an altitude.

It’s just a balloon. Next time we send 100.
