Chinese surveillance balloon over Montana?

[MarvB]

Just read where we’ve evidently sent back a couple of our own…

Never would have happened if we would have got Space Force.

Space for has been active for several years now. You did get it.

 

[Elktrack]

WTH does space force have to do with it. Damn thing wasn’t in outer space.
Pretty sure we already have a force to deal with everything in our atmosphere.

Don't get excited......

Don't get excited......

Well why the hell they need the balloon if we already got this map?

Nice reminder that I’m completely boned in the event of nuclear war.

Or Google earth.

Artists rendering of the UFO....

Reference if you don't get it

The fact this is on the news shows it was a slow news week. This balloon is nothing. ALL countries have spy planes and satellites fly over them hourly. Hell, the Chinese launched 4 spy satellites in November and no one batted an eye.

Chinese counter intelligence must be losing their mind though. Not knowing why it wasn't taken down. Does the US no care about us spying on them? or do they already know about the technology and have a spy in the government?

 

[RealMuddyboots]

So it becomes a story when over Montana? The flight path across Alaska and Canada over highly populated caribou migration must be reason it wasn't shot down? Wide open spaces in winter low risk to environment? More concerning is if was detected or not?

This is no doubt a psychological probe to provide insight on our leadership's spine or lack thereof.

what you dont know is the poor sucker sitting on top of that mofo cranking the turn dials to focus their cameras without a safety harness or a helmet.

Geesus, at least NORAD tracks Santas sleigh better than this.

Was this on the news in Canada?

 

[Rainer]

It's on the news everywhere. I saw it on the BBC before any news organization from Canada

 

[Nick87]

. I saw it on the BBC

Without a doubt

 

[Elktrack]

Now the media headlines are saying “alleged “ Chinese surveillance balloon.
Let the spin begin. By Monday this will be just a party balloon that drifted in from a Trump rally, I’m sure he’s to blame somehow.
Nothing to see here.

Tell the person who watch Randy’s helicopter in - elk hunt episode and decided to try a balloon in hunt that the season is over.

Probably another covid variation, let it go
