If we didn’t have such an inept president and administration that thing would have been shot down the moment it entered US airspace.

From the article below:
“The senior defense official said that the government has been tracking the balloon for "some time" and said it entered U.S. airspace a "couple of days ago."

So they admit they have been watching it but did nothing about it 😡

Here’s more from Fox News:

Just heard about this a little while ago.
This info is somewhat relieving to read.
My initial thought was how the hell does this get into air space without anyone noticing?
Then my mind goes to...Inless Chinese inside the US or Canada deployed it?

I did say somewhat relieving.
The fact they tracked it from outside of our air space and into the center of the country without blowing it away, not so relieving.

Some are laughing about this but certainly the Chinese and countries around the world are laughing at USA for allowing this balloon to enter our air space and continue to not do anything about it.

How long before it entered US air space did the US military know about this thing? Or did it at all?

At least some in Washington are concerned...

F 22 has a service ceiling of least 50k alritude. No brainer. Shoot the air bag down. Maybe 1000 pound payload in the baloon. Let it fall and pick up the pieces

China is probably just keeping an eye on their thousands of acres of farmland in the United States.;)Maybe working on how to fertilize their land from space:D

Read that another was spotted in Canada too. How in hell can something like that just appears deep into US airspace? Apparently this is going on like 5 years.:rolleyes:
China announced they opened an investigation about it.🤔😂China is a responsible country and has always strictly abided by international laws .
Whole thing is a fuckin joke.

You really think .gov did not see the floating craft enter US air space?

Ever wonder who owns miles of hay and alfalfa farms, cows and other agriculture businesses up and down the Colorado river including the outskirts of Vicksburg Arizona?

This country sold out many years ago to foreign money. A spy ballon should not come as a surprise to anybody. The problem is the public noticed it.

Most “normal” presidents would have shot this down after entering our airspace. Japan did this in WWII with balloons with explosives, one made it ashore and landed in the PNW, but didn’t explode. It was found by a Sunday school group of kids on a picnic in the woods and one was killed when they picked up the chute. It was the only WWII casualty on the continental US. Some idiots never learn. FJB!

Biden will let it go like everything else.

LOL there's probably more incriminating evidence in the balloon against him than China.

Lot of responses of humor, but like a coupe said it’s not really a laughing matter. Our government no longer cares about protecting us, it’s just about what looks good on tv. Also everyone can talk shit about China and Arabs buying our land, but don’t forget it took some greedy ass American to sell it. So the one that took millions for their sale are worse then the buyers. F-n traders to me. That’s the problem w our country, money rules it. Not values. Not respect. Not pride.

At the risk of saying a lot of what has been said…

This is simply unacceptable!

While I can’t confirm this - I read 2 days ago it was spotted by civilians on a commercial flight and reported??

Either way - it needs to come down!!!!!

Get a helo up there and lasso that thing if you have to but get it down and see what’s in it and what it’s capabilities are !!!

The fact that we are monitoring it just simply isn’t the right answer in my mind!
