Remarkable as seems the official phographs being ready for release are identical to the Roswell pictures. Only cha he is instead of male military members, there a numerous woke and fluid amebia prancing around
And it likely would have been ignored by those higher-ups except for some guy looking up and capturing it on camera for the world to see.
I'm not a big fan of shooting at things with 30mm depleted uranium rounds, at a rate of 4,000 rounds per minute, over the North American population. Every round, which has to come back to earth because a balloon will not absorb or slow any of them, is a liability.
Maybe we should have plan B and plan C to take these balloons down in case we are ever confronted with other balloon associated issues, like one loaded with bombs that will explode on impact with the ground, or one with an EMT device etc..
Too high.
But you are correct a slow plane would be great here.
The Russians used a cargo plane with a giant AAA gun that looked a bit like the top of the millennium Falcon to shoot USA balloons. Because of the low pressure differential you have to tear up the balloon. Holes are worthless.
A laser would be the best option, as the rounds dissipate and don’t drop to the ground. We (Israel) use a laser cannon called Iron Beam on Arab terror balloons with regularity. It could be mounted to the top of any given cargo plane.
No Debris than I call BS on they even existed.
And Epstein’s client list is off the radar as well...
commercial or benign purposes Such a narrow band of what they think they could have been used for.
Not a balloon. Balloons are round and have a string. You bought you GF an object.
Is there a name for the “inflatable flappy arm guy”
Biden administration was caught unaware.
Yeah well it’s normal for them it’s why they screw so many things up.
Equal stupidity gives the same results.
Biden was picked because he is easily pushed around.
His staff were picked to check certain boxes.
No attention to compentancy or skills.
So here we are.
Agree hope eyes have been opened.
Biden is always quick to point the finger of blame elsewhere when things go wrong. Why isn't he furious about this? The military tracked the balloon from the time it left China, across the Pacific, up to Alaska, then through western Canada into the United States. If we are to believe the White House (a big "if"), we've been told that Biden wasn't informed about the balloon until it was over Montana. If true, why hasn't Biden demanded to know why his military leaders kept this information from him? Instead, he feels the entire episode is no big deal.
Epstein who? s.
We can joke and laugh about it, but this is a very serious matter.
The ‘Biden unit’ had reached the end of its life, so a new one was dispatched as a replacement.
Then the [supposed] chinese balloon showed up and got the public all up in arms, so much so that the military shot down the resupply ship with the new ‘Biden unit’.
It’s no laughing matter: They have to invent distractions to prevent t unwanted attention on his lack of appearance. Hell, they might even start a war just to prevent discovery of the destroyed Biden unit in the wreckage.
