    Nothing to see here - just Hunter's benefactors spewing some spores from 60k feet across the middle of the US mainland northwest to southeast. Not that the Chinese know anything about germ warfare.

    The government or some private enterprise needs to catch it. No shooting. Evidently shooting was tried on a weather balloon, 1,000 rounds didn't bring it down. Catch it, analyze design, download any data on board, install our bugs and return to sender.

    Hmm. Reports had it over Kansas today. I don’t know what to believe
    We will never know the truth. The smoke trail to me looked like a surface to air missle with a secondary rocket kicking in. Explains the burst on screen but there was also a trail coming down. Who knows. I am no expert basing what I see off the 24/7 Ukraine war news I have been watching daily.

    I think they probably shot it down.


    Kinda crazy but even though this lady has video evidence the US government is saying that didn’t happen. No major news media outlets even cover anything about this explosion when googling it’s all smaller local Montana media outlets.

    I also found it funny that Bloomberg has an article claiming it’s a US weather balloon and has been mistaken as a Chinese spy balloon. I wonder what Bloomberg has to say about China admitting the balloon belongs to them.

    News reports a 2nd balloon over Latin America. So that sort of kills the "we lost our weather balloon" BS. The Chinese are testing our limits imo.


    Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb

    It would have to be a pig balloon then :) PF life, baby!

    from "The Wall".

    I don’t believe for a second it’s a weather balloon. It may have some stuff to track weather and mask what it really is.

    They are filled with a new form of Wu Flu and when it’s shot down it will rain down the new virus. Don’t fear…I’m sure the gub already has a host of new Ouchy’s ready to administer. I’m curious if Made In China is written on it?

    When Regan was in office it would have been shot down 11 miles from the shore. It was a test and Uncle Joe failed.

    It's funny to see so many people talk about these people as if they are actually serving us. None of them care about you, or me, or America as a whole. No matter the path taken at any given time, the end result will be the same, as planned.
