Don’t believe China didn’t obtain sensitive information from their ballon . Apparently the Executive Branch is friendly to China.
They shot my kite down and my bird.
No pictures huh
Missing secret documents???? Trumpty Dumpty not surrendering all documents….hmmm???
The UFO shoot down is the best explanation.
Look at the views on spy balloon video’s its 100X more than the other video’s people are very interested in this saga.
Recent vid from "Two Bit DaVinci ( Ricky Ray) that might prove interesting about the first balloon that was shot down. Give it a look.
They really want WWIII?
Biden trying to save face. I doubt they really shot anything down
USA must be careful because China doesn’t play. Chinese are 1.5 B and all of them are successful, it’s economy is going up with the light speed. They are working day and night no sleeping.
I have a friend that is part of a group looking into this examining this thing that was shot down and what I heard is scary. An object not from earth. I’m afraid that now we will be seen as attackers by the new visitors and could be in jeopardy. There is way more but to soon to say what else was leaked.
RIP Superman
Does China have the ability to control the balloon or do they let it just fly around?
they probable up loaded to the satellite soon as it got the information
"Weather balloon"….boring
Shot down UFO?
sleepy joe s b/day balloon from china . = dad happy b/day from me an china ! from hunter !
Is there a way we can detect things approaching the airspace then waiting to enter and reacting?
If they shot it with a missile and it was only the size of a small car (vw bug) there’s a good chance they blew the crap out of it!!
😒🤫🫠😶
😂 Fear of coward
Die glocke
Why did the choose this Chinese spy anchor to deliver this message
🏎
Why the US authorities did not take any photographs of the said object?
lately it seems we are playing balloon tower defense.
We should do the same: Deploy Valentines Day balloons and shower China with Winnie-the-Pooh Valentines Day cards ♥
Cho Bi Dung doesn’t give a $hit.
Just STOP Saying previous balloons!!! & It’s sad that my 1st thought is this balloon was staged so Brandon can order it shot down!!!??? Again…3 balloons DID NOT traverse USA under Trump!!! That is a LIE & HAS BEEN PROVEN A LIE!!!!! PS…I am NOT a Trump fan!!! I’m just fed up with the damn LIES about him
they came, they saw, no intelligent life, and left
99 balloons in the air, 99 balloons. Shoot 2 down, 97 balloons in the air. 🤣
What and where is the other balloon that was hovering in South America?
Be safe and be 😎
The US sent this up just to say look we did something
they will send a few phoneys but they want data & they want us to stop helping zalensky
Gotta love the Republican hypocrisy over all of this. They were flying all over the place during Trump’s administration, and they were oddly silent about it.
Ukraine is about to get leveled.
Thanks Joe.
I remember everything used to be hushed,,,,,we have no info,,,,,,,…….
…..now it is just what you need to know !!!
needle whole
Lies and damn lied
It was the car from the move grease
utterly stupid to suggest that anyone missed the balloon, it was being tracked across Canada (remember, that big chunk of North America between the USA and ruzzia?)
the balloon was assuredley tracked and surveilled, to capture information about its communication capabilities and payload…it’s also probable that it was jammmed, or spooffed, or that the military areas overflowing had the opportunity to obfuscate their activities and equipment/facilities
Let’s see what it was
Joe Biden is the antichrist he promised peace but has brought us to the brink of WW3 he been bought and sold the real life Manchurian candidate
needle whole
I lived in Alaska. Very scary if they are trying to gather intelligence due to military installations that are there.
The balloon could of been a cover up or distraction from the Chinese to fly their real air ships, I honestly believe their getting ready for war while we’re to distracted over gender rights
They shot down a oppressor
Balloons of mass destruction must be stopped.
Russian spy drone..
They should just admit to spying on one another
I thought they couldn’t see the balloons for all the UFO’s.
