Pentagon Tracking Suspected Chinese Spy Balloon Over the US

[KellyinAvon]

So the pilots reported that the “object” interfered with the F-22 sensors. It also had no obvious system of propulsion.

I think Joe may have started intergalactic war?

A big part of why 5th Gen fighters are so effective is the ability to pass information. I mean stealth, thrust vectoring, and super-cruise are totally cool, but if somebody figured out how to negate a significant capability... with a ****ing balloon? Houston, we have a problem.

Intergalactic war? CRAP! That's like the one thing that would get me recalled to active duty! Eh, probably a balloon sent up by Lockheed-Martin to help secure a sensor package upgrade contract.

The Chinese spy balloon, recently shot down by the US military, has captured the headlines in recent weeks, with other countries like India, Japan, and Taiwan currently looking into the possibility that similar Chinese balloons may have also violated their airspace in the past. Even more...

Just a long as we don't get robots coming into gun shops asking for Phased Plasma rifles in the 40 watt range.

Who will even want an AR-15 if you can get a PPR-40?

She's really cryptic, same as our talking heads. Makes you wonder, eh? She did screw up and tell us about the cylindrical shape of it...

At least they are addressing the public. Where is our gov't on this? Joe aught to be reassuring his people shouldn't he? At least send out Kamala...

Buttigieg?

If you're a private pilot you might want to stay grounded for a few weeks. After Biden's humiliation it looks like everyone is compensating by blasting everything that doesn't answer the radio.

GOOD.

There's some fishy business going on with the situation over Montana.

A congress critter claimed they halted efforts to down the object due to reduced visibility, because it's dark. I don't buy that.

What the hell do they plan on doing with the superbowl? Our airspace has been violated countless times by hostile foreign craft, requiring jets to scramble multiple times per day for the past week. All of these occurrences being a first in our nation's history. And that isn't hyperbole, Hawaii wasn't a state at the time of pearl harbor.

I have an uneasy feeling about this.
