Spy Balloon

[ChevyReb]

Anyone here been able to see this thing? I read it's about the size of three school busses. I am wondering what all this thing is capable of? Apparently it has some ability to be navigated.

Spy cameras?
Chemical warfare?
Electromagnetic bombs?
Worse?

Why did we not detect it earlier and shoot it down over Alaska? I don't get why it's still airborne. Tin foil hat says it has something bad in it so if we do shoot it down the booby trap goes off.

If we aren't able to catch the slow balloon from China what's our capability to stop a missle? This is a pretty bold aggressive move IMO.

Pretty scarry.

If you are talking buses the size that I took to school, that's not very big...

I am utterly shocked that some good ol boy has not taken it down with some variant of a long range potato cannon.

I know I would try.

It's 12 miles up.
A couple of US aircraft and Surface-to-Air missiles have the capability to reach those heights.

We had been tracking it for months it was revealed. They couldn't keep it a secret after civilians spotted it.

I think we should have blown it up long ago over the water.

I can see it out of my front door now its about 35° in the NE sky strait out my front door. Wonder if it can see my finger from up there?

I saw that balloon and it was right next to the moon, well I have it "the moon" after I dropped my pants.

I know.
You cant tell me that there is not a militia group out there with some military grade ordnance that isnt at least considering it.

Wonder if a drone could get that high with a spearhead on it...pop...phhssssshhhhhhh

 

[ChevyReb]

Could that be what really knocked out all the air travel recently ?
