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.

Theres not much debris from a 10 foot hobby ballon. Thery will not find any debris, otherwise people will know they spent $800K to shoot down 50$ in plastic and gas.

it should have been for Raquel Welch. She was a good (looking) American.

[markman46]

Umm 40 to 50k altitude must be one of those amateur radio balloons

[SaveFerris]

Their incompetence knows no bounds

Biden has a balloon shot down over Hawaii. Unfortunately it was a hot air balloon with six people in it. /s

The same path the Japanese fire balloons took in 44 and 45.

Today was the first time I remember hearing about those balloons from Japan.

Before it was announced she died, sticking with the five balloons.

Where are those airborne lasers we’re supposed to have? Let’s give them a workout.

Chinese haven’t made us use up many of our weapons on dogfights in the sky or shipping them to Ukraine to waste there. Like the billions of dollars of equipment and weapons and ammo in Afghanistan by Biden’s heroic retreat there.

Weapons wasted.

Then, Taiwan gets invaded.

Could happen.

By the way, someone should invent a “balloon buster” weapon just for that purpose. Without missiles wasted.
