Suspected Chinese spy balloon found over northern U.S.

I ask you . . . where are today's heroes???

 

Guess it needed to hit that NC BBQ before reversing course for Austin.


Save the best for last, as they say!

 

You have a very simplistic and poor understanding of the world of intelligence gathering.

 

lol…

NORAD has been tracking the spy ballon since its launched from mainland China

Shocking news. You're telling me @basso is just making **** up as he goes without having any knowledge of the truth? Who would've known. Major development.

 

I can’t wait for him to double down on it.

 

naw breh, I just think we'd gather much more intel if we captured it than letting it continue to overfly the entire country while transmitting its messages to Winnie the Ping.

 

Ohio is safe.

 

what's the objection?

 

What objection? He's keeping Ohio safe!

 

Now is the time to remind gun folks that the balloon is out of range so stop firing at it nutjobs.

 

If you can see it, you can shoot it. Shoot it down now!

 

Seems like China should be able to provide some plans about the payload component and what each section is for. Then, we can examine it and compare it to high resolution pictures. Seems reasonable.

 

People that don’t realize a high caliber rifle bullet will barely make it 10,000 feet in the air, and actually think they can shoot the balloon, shouldn’t own a gun. A 9mm pistol will make it about 4,000 feet if shot straight up.

 

It's fun and all but you know, when it comes to national security, maybe just leave it up to national security experts in our military.

Fun: instead of shooting it down, take over it, install a virus, and let it fly back home. Woohoo.
