There is a China Spy balloon floating across U.S.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

It's coming to study the potholes in Jackson, MS

They'll need more than one ballon.

Obviously it is here to capture data blocked by SnapChat ***********************

and we won't shoot it down? We are so weak.

It's got megaCOVID in it. Shooting it down will be playing into their hands.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

If they pressure the NRA enough I'm sure they'll learn that some good ole boy in Arizona has developed a scoped rifle that will shoot more thsan 66,000 feet. You can't be over prepared you know.

Then why use spy balloons

To be visible, get caught, and scare people that are easily scared.

So it ain't a spy balloon??

 

[AROB44]

Then why use spy balloons

To rattle the cages of the Rambos on here.

 

[ckDOG]

So it ain't a spy balloon??

Might be. Won't be any more valuable than what they can already get with satellites - assuming we didn't jam it as soon as we knew it was there.

If it's a nefarious thing, it's simply a psyop.

And the Beta’s too. Not that anything is wrong being a Beta Male.

We could probably burn out any sensors on it with a laser if we wanted to. China has spy satellites that can see just about anything they want to, so I think this a propaganda tool rather than anything with a significant strategic ability.

Better not get too low with all the balloonjackers in the area. **

All this thread lacks is a seven paragraph response from mstateglfr.**

I remember in the 80's i read a popular science article showing a progression of photos from space that zooms in on a nose hair which suggests that this thing prolly ain't just "looking" (unless the Chinese are ~ 40 years behind us on satellite tech). This really isn't that complicated.....plot an array of firing solutions with an oxford intercept then FAW.

Oh God, please, no. This has been a good day, don’t ruin it.

How long would the Chicoms allow a US Ballon to fly over their nuclear missile sites? I'll hang up and listen

Another one spotted in Latin America. Explosion in Montana. This is getting wild.

 

[GloryDawg]

they are now reporting there are two more. One over Canada and one over S. America. Those two could be Orson Welles.

Our missile defense might have just taken something out.

Somebodies probably got an investment riding on it!

Did Eric Swalwell take it home and bang it yet?

 

[thatsbaseball]

Pentagon and city deny there was 'explosion in the sky' above Billings

A video circulating last night purporting to be an explosion in the sky over Billings Montana , where a Chinese spy balloon has been flying over the region, has been confirmed as a hoax

I can’t believe this thread hasn’t been shut down.

But those who believe we need to stand up to this breach of American airspace, vote accordingly in 2024.

 

[paindonthurt]

uh, source and relevance to this forum?

It’s relevant bc SOME of us are patriotic Americans.

 

[paindonthurt]

Sounds fishy to me. It's in Montana, what are the odds of it hitting a person? Like 0.0001987% maybe?

So like COVID?

Fang Fang like to bang bang.

It would be the most efficient way to launch an EMP.

If the balloon were shaped like a roller skate, he’d already be here

It's Hunter Biden

Source ? Are you serious ?

The same guys that botched the Afghan withdrawal? Chi-Coms say you shoot balloon and we out the "Big Guy".

Sometime soon, you should read about how the US exited that country. You will need to go back a few years since the withdrawal spanned 2 presidents.
What a disasterous war to have both started and ended.

This reply to that tweet is gold.

 

[aerodawg.sixpack]

I'm sure there's reasons other than "debris" that we haven't shot it down. I also refuse to believe that we didn't know it was there. NORAD has some pretty significant tracking capabilities.

From what I understand, they just don’t think it’s enough of a threat to warrant shooting it down considering that we constantly fly over the South China Sea area that China considers their airspace. They don’t want to set precedent and lose the ability to fly **** in their yard.

 

[ababyatemydingo]

Funny.

bullygrowl makes a semi-political post, which may or may not be allowed. Content was factual, then the political "We are so weak" comment.

The typical liberal brigade storms out in full shame mode, to only cover for their pals in office. They are semi-right in that it's a semi-political post in a sports forum. But also ridiculously biased, and if Trump was in office, they'd be sharing bullygrowl's opinion and spewing how 17'ed up the country is.

It's really comical to watch. But let's get to the facts. My opinion is, if China wanted to spy on us, why are they gonna do with a big 17-ing balloon that can probably be seen from Mars? I mean we all know about it. Exactly what could they be spying on? Texas football stadiums? Wind turbines? Suburban sprawl? Trying to get into the medicinal weed bizness??

Testing EMP technology perhaps?

I personally keep two on, when my wife let's me have em back on holidays and special occasions.

I've never been more proud of you, Twitter, or America itself. Just when we all start losing faith we get a big titty joke from left field with the subtle humor equivalent of a supernova.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Testing EMP technology perhaps?

Certainly could be.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

They said they are not shooting it down because it would result in falling debris.

I dare them to fly it over Mississippi. It will never make it out across the state line.
