Air traffic control has reported the sighting of a large white balloon off the coast of northeast of Hawaii on Sunday.
The Oakland Oceanic Air Traffic Control Center received a message stating that the balloon was observed over the Pacific Ocean, about 594 miles northeast of Honolulu.
The object seemed to be flying at an altitude of 40,000 to 50,000 feet, according to reports.
Pilots were advised to report if they spot the object.
Further information about the sighting is currently unavailable.
Multiple balloons have been shot down by American forces this month.
A Vladimir Spootin reference? With editors these days it is impossible to know for sure.
This one probably is a Chinese weather balloon. Biden is an easy mark.
See post 3.
So, there I was all by myself in my perfectly legal white balloon at 40,000 feet...
The one that they should have shot down...they let collect data...on THEIR coordinates. My concern is that China had people on the ground...doing their thing at the same time. Biden was absolutely stupid to let it traverse OUR country.
Another load of Made In China Mail In Ballots for the (D)ung beetle voters. 2024 is comin in fast.
Will they shoot first or wait to ask for permission!
Good Grief!
This is Hugh and Series!
This would have been a good Wo Fat plot for Hawaii Five O.
“Alright, Team Coppens, you have your mission. Mount up, fly up, and bring it down!”
Otherwise dare we assume that Navy/Air Force radars picked it up way west of the islands and did nothing as it was spotted northEAST of the islands.
And what about the Kaena Point Space Force Satellite Tracking Station?
Worse - if none of those guys spotted the balloon that means the CCP has developed an operational stealth spy weapon and is using it with brash frequency and impunity.
How is this not the greatest scandal of all time? This is Pearl Harbor-level incompetence.
With Biden's help...
I read, earlier, on another forum...that CCP is running several of our logistics companies.
NO idea if true.....but, I would NOT doubt it, nor put it past this regime....to allow.
What a great way to track and keep tabs, on Americans :-(
Just hook it, and drag it in.
This balloon stuff was hilarious at first. Now it’s just another eye roll.
We're gonna need more missiles.
Some scientist said there are about 160 balloons in the sky at any point in time.
Figured it was for the five balloons shot down.
I’m sure libtard management will be able to fornicate with it.
