This is kind of strange news...
Suspected Chinese Surveillance Balloon Over The U.S.
...when *future kids are studying their history book this will be a foot note in the chapter about how WW-3 started.

*I'm an optimist, I believe we're going to win the next civil war and or future generations will be taught real history, not the insane crap they're learning now.

Jesse Watters interviewed a retired Air Force officer who said this is just a message.
They have satellites that are much better.

 

[NMPRN]

Yeah, observation balloons went out of fashion in WW-I. I'm not sure what kind of message it sends though.

 

[Back Pack Hack]

It's possibly a diversion tactic.

 

[Chipper]

Others beat me to it. It's just a test or distraction for whatever else they are doing.

 

[CapitalKane49p]

Nothing to worry about folks.

This is just one of the ballons that escaped at Winnie Xi Pooh's B Day party.

Godspeed

It's probably a university student project. They sent it up, it floated waaaay farther than expected, and we're pretending it's Sputnik 2.0.
As has been said, they have a full fledged space program. They aren't doing anything worth a damn with balloons.

But it is a great way to get an emp Nuke over the central US of A with minimal effort

Maybe it's a real UFO and we're playing the Balloon story again like they did in the Roswell incident.

Indeed. It could just be a provocation or whatever obama schwab told them to do?

I saw something about it that said dod wanted to shoot it down -

They thought 🤔 about doing that but were afraid 😟 of it falling 🌠 on folks. Now it's over the missle field in Montana so I don't know what their excuse is now.

 

[NMPRN]

Apparently this isn't the first one they've sent over. I put my tinfoil hat on to try and figure out why they would want to send another one over the U.S. There's nothing a balloon can do that can't be done better some other way.

🇨🇳 China has the right to keep an eye on their colonies. 👁
Would Putin wring his hands fretting that a shot-down enemy aircraft might give Russians an owie?
Weak USA invites attack - China could use this method to drop bioweapons now that they are considered 'just routine'.

I can't see using a balloon to deliver a bioweapon. Balloons are too random and it's too easy to get caught. It'd be easier to just squirt a little covid 23 juice on a subway platform in NYC and let nature take it's course.

It's probably just a research balloon that went the wrong direction, but we need to shoot it down and see for sure. ...but that'll never happen with chairman binden in charge of the USSA.

Actually, there are some aspects of moving so slowly that are benefitable, and being that high in altitude as well.

As a person that focused engineering & physics in college, it seems this balloon setup is rather well built, designed specifically for traveling a very, very long time. Depending on how much control it has to alter direction, & what type of sensors, coms, and A.I., this balloon could have numerous possible designs that could do a variety of tasks. I hope that they don't blow it out of the sky, and find a noninvasive means to bring it down so we could get a looksie.

I find this interesting; wasn't it you that in another post was talking about a police pursuit, and how many are not going on high speed car chases as the chance for something going wrong and could cause death or destruction of personal property. The conversation continued with , we have means to track them and get them in a safer location or venue. Wasn't that something you mentioned? Asking as that is exactly what Biden seems to be doing.


On a tangent, I know what everyone is thinking right now that has ever bought something from Amazon, if this was a surveillance balloon made from China for USA consumers -that the Balloon would have already fallen to the earth by now.

 

[Demitri.14]

Notice that there are no details as to the altitude or exact location. Just that it is above commercial aircraft.

 

[Spenser]

trying to find out how high up a jetfighter's missile can go into the atmosphere, but a S.A.M. from what I read can get up to 130,000ft, possibly higher. So yea, how high is this balloon.

You didn't see the comms package and sensor arrays I’m guessing. Never ASSUME when dealing with China…

Since it's still floating around up there, nobody has actually seen its payload.
It's all assumption at this point.

Shoot the damn thing down!
