Pentagon Tracking Suspected Chinese Spy Balloon Over the US

[HoughMade]

I thought the same thing, but read somewhere that it could affect it's altitude and get into different air streams in to order change direction.

I get that, but from what I understand, it was never stationary over a single spot.

I'm hearing reports now that this balloon shot down by the U.S. was laden with explosives.
Chinese claim it was for self-destruction.
I doubt seriously if we know even half of the truth, and we very well may never learn anything more

If that was the case, why didn't it destroy its self to prevent capture?

I'm not sure I'd believe that.

On the other hand, that'd explain why they waited until it was over the sea to shoot it down.

Did they think that if they kept their mouths shut it would just go unnoticed?

That is likely what they wanted to find out

Just curious what they could be spying on over there.

I get flying a balloon over a US Air Force base in Montana but I'm curious what could be targeted over South America.

Checking up on the fentanyl middlemen?

This is why the whole ChiCom story is suspect. They could've been testing what the Biden administration's decision-making reaction would be. I'm inclined to belive that to be the case since they didn't initially say anything.

Agreed. Lingered over the area would have a been a better description.

Well, if it had self-destruct, that kinda rules out 'weather balloon'.

Some good points in the video here.
Now it's claimed... BUT it happened in TRUMP'S admin.
Really?
Media, and the Dems, looking and hammering him for EVERYTHING they could find.
Year after year.
Now, a claim is made. No video. No pics. No witnesses.
And everyone in Trump's admin is denying it. None of them coming forward... really.

Biden doing what Biden does!
Lie,Lie.Lie.Lie,dumb people believe him and vote for him!
This is why Aliens dont come here,not much intelligence!

These days, this should be our default position.

Throwing dirt on Trump is big media's default direction, I've never seen this much bile even when it was directed at Nixon. Sometimes I wonder how long will it be in the future before they get over this and we quit hearing "but Trump" every time something comes up.

It's George W. Bush's fault!

Dems: we have an anonymous source from high up in the Pentagon that says.

Bunch of higher ups from the Pentagon in those days: nope. never happened.


Well, we gotta go with the anonymous sources, don't we.

If true, was it as safe as the military leadership told us?

Top military commander confirms key detail that Pentagon official omitted to incite criticism against Trump | Blaze Media

A top military commander admitted Monday there had been a "domain awareness gap" during the Trump administration, allowing three Chinese spy balloons to gather intelligence on the U.S. undetected."Every day as a NORAD commander, it's my responsibility to detect threats to North America. I will...

It will only be a matter of time until the media will be reporting how many times Trump had to use a plunger because he backed up the toilet the White House.
