The balloon had already traversed the entire nation and was leaving the country . . . they had all they could get and shooting it down was just sitting duck, target practice
Is this the same balloon that was in Montana?
I thought this was a second one.
If there was only one, then it certainly did traverse the entire US, from the Aleutians to the Atlantic.
Now, we know what the Chicom’s $50-100,000,000 bought.
