So if this is a spy balloon, how is it sending information back to China via satellite? Via radio signals? Do you mean to tell me that we cannot intercept the signals that it would be sending back to China and decode the information it is sending back to China? The logical questions are not being asked let alone answered.

Chinese spy balloon: Why the US didn't shoot it down
https://www.newsnationnow.com › why-didnt-us-shoot-...11 hours ago — “There's two answers. This could be a mistake. We're not always positive about how these upper-level winds move. Maybe the Chinese intended for ...
Okay who's been to the high angle class? Time to get your recertification..
Have the dead been reanimating anywhere along its flight path?
They know all about it. They are in on it. Our government is allowing all this to happen!
I thought I saw it this morning in Arkansas. Got one of my AR-14’s out , loaded it with those 25,000 ft per second special bullets that Xiden talks about. Aimed high and fired away…
Thought I hit it ….until I figured we just have a Full Moon

Probably using a narrow beam to thier own satellite so we'd need a bird very close by to capture that signal.
I'd be surprised if they didn't have some encryption we can't break.
Biden and Milley are working with them, so this is an entirely moot discussion anyway.
We know that the Chinese have been playing with bioweapons (Wuhan)......balloons would be a cost effective and easy way to infect an entire continent if they wanted to. The Japanese used balloons to deliver incendiary bombs on American soil during WWII.
I'm hoping that it's just weather research, but I won't be surprised to hear reports of 'strange illness' anywhere in the flight path of the balloon.

If I was president, I'd tell the pentagon they had 30 minutes to figure out a plan to high-altitude parachute soldiers onto that thing to investigate. Then their mission would be to poke a few holes in it and ride it to the ground like Captain Jack Sparrow in the first Pirates of the Carribean.
The bigger question is, in the age of today's tech, W T F could CCP want to suspend from a balloon that is the size of several school busses???????????????????

The fact that it was not immediately shot down tells us all we need to know about our government.
Is it too late to fill it full of illegal immigrants and send it on back to Chyna?
So what are we thinking here, get all the balloons lined up across the mid west and then release all the bio weapons into the atmosphere at once?
Just spread a rumor that Trump is using it to hide classified documents or unreported income, they'll shoot that booger down in a heartbeat!
P.S. - I wish I bad the talent to show Hunter Biden ring in a lawn chair, snorting cocaine, and shredding documents.

China has claimed responsibility for the balloon spotted over Montana, apologizing and stating it was used for weather research.
“The airship is from China,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement Friday morning. “It is a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes. Affected by the Westerlies and with limited self-steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course.
“The Chinese side regrets the unintended entry of the airship into U.S. airspace due to force majeure. The Chinese side will continue communicating with the U.S. side and properly handle this unexpected situation caused by force majeure.”
The Pentagon announced Thursday that a surveillance balloon it believed belonged to China was floating over Montana. The news came days before Secretary of State Antony Blinken was set to arrive in Beijing, the highest-ranking member of the Biden administration to visit the superpower. Following China’s statement, Bloomberg reported that Blinken was postponing his trip.
“We did assess that it was large enough to cause damage from the debris field if we downed it over an area,” the official said. “We had been looking at whether there was an option yesterday over some sparsely populated areas in Montana. But we just couldn’t buy down the risk enough to feel comfortable recommending shooting it down yesterday.”
Montana is home to one of the country’s three nuclear missile silos, located at Malmstrom Air Force Base. The official added that it was unlikely the balloon could provide additional surveillance data versus what China could get from a low altitude satellite and that it didn’t pose a significant danger to the area in its current state, flying above commercial airline routes.
China has claimed the balloon flying over the U.S. as its own. Here's everything you need to know.

About the balloon
At a briefing Thursday, the Pentagon said the balloon had been observed via multiple methods for a number of days, including piloted aircraft. A senior defense official said the balloon wasn’t shot down over concerns about the damage that could cause. CNN reported that the balloon was the size of three buses.“We did assess that it was large enough to cause damage from the debris field if we downed it over an area,” the official said. “We had been looking at whether there was an option yesterday over some sparsely populated areas in Montana. But we just couldn’t buy down the risk enough to feel comfortable recommending shooting it down yesterday.”

Complicit behavior on our behalf. Shameful on all accounts.
That's what I was thinking....that it's ours, hence the reason they won't shoot it down. Getting the news cycle though...wonder what it's distracting us from.

The reason they don't want to shoot it down is the 3 school bus loads of CRISPR bio weapons that will interact with anyone who has been exposed to COVID. Chinas final solution. It's probably squirting it out slowly in the atmosphere as we speak.
So our”smart” phones were all made in China . As well as all of our computers microchips etc…. But we are supposed to worry about a “Chinese balloon” or a Chinese app (TikTok). LOL. Only the sheeple believe this nonsense .

From a practical standpoint, aside from potentially being able to sniff out low level RF signals, the loitering optical and IR detection capabilities would make it easy to detect anyone on the ground, especially moving. Weather permitting, of course. For example over the missile fields they could check all sorts of things, security patrols, shift changes, things that get guards attention and things that don't (wouldn't be surprised if CCP confederates on the ground were subtly probing during overflights. No bueno.
Will be interesting to see if their second balloon is identical or optimized for something else.
I seem to recall at an altitude of 60k feet, the balloons can 'see' and 'hear' several hundred miles in any direction. Area underneath would yield the clearest pictures and strongest radio signals. Multiple balloons can triangulate.

Cant find story now as this is changing by the minute.
China urged us to "use caution" and not do anything hasty. Remind me again, why China tells us what to do in our airspace? Those bitches get itchy about tawain and fly a craft into our airspace?
That'll be 1 aircraft carrier sunk in retalitation. And an apology from them for making us sink it. Bunch of pussies in charge.

Now settle down. Anthony Blinken just cancelled his trip to Beijing this weekend in protest. Blinken has broken out the Brass Knuckles and is busy showing them who's the boss........
No worries! The balloon is only seeding the atmosphere with the newest version of the china flu. We will all be in lockdown just in time for the 2024 elections. Then again, maybe the balloon is delivering the latest batch of ballots for the election.
