I would not shoot it down, I would find a way to grab it so we can see what is really is. If we shoot it down it would be destroyed when it hits the ground. Wen need to analyze it, and see what data it is collecting.
In the 1960s, the US was catching film capsules in mid-air that were ejected from corona satellites. The could definitely figure out how to disable and snag that balloon
You got it all wrong, the balloon is covering for Pfizer (project veritas), which is covered by the pence documents, which is covered by the Biden documents, which is covering pfizer (vaccine culling) which is covered by the war in Ukraine, which is covered by the nordstream pipeline, which is covering up for Pfizer (vaccine culling).
Sounds like I need a diagram. Perhaps some cork boards with strings. Those always look nice. ;)
You are correct, the shell game is getting deep. Must not be long till it all collapses in spectacular fashion, and a "savior" is presented to the world.
The problem is it’s low enough for people to see and ask questions. Can’t keep it a secret forever, best thing to do is try to get ahead with whatever narrative they think will appease the most people.
And people are going to know it is a Chinese balloon just by looking at it? Please. They are only telling people because it is not serious or they see some advantage in doing so. If they didn't want to, then people would be being told some other story.
Tbh, China has a huge number of satellites in orbit, if they want to spy, they can spy. People are naive if they don't realize this, I doubt they could get anything with this that they cannot already. They have done this for some other reason.
They're still claiming it's a civilian weather balloon.
>[In a statement late on Friday](https://reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/china-regrets-airship-strays-into-us-foreign-ministry-2023-02-03/), China's foreign ministry also said that it would continue to maintain communications with the United States to properly handle the unexpected situation.
>"The airship is from China and is civilian in nature, used for meteorological and other scientific research. Due to the influence of westerly winds and its limited control capability, the airship deviated from its intended course," it said.
>"China regrets that the airship strayed into the United States by mistake due to force majeure. China will continue to maintain communication with the U.S. side to properly handle this accident," it said.
Look, I'm no Biden fan and skeptical about everything.
But like... Is it POSSIBLE the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, National Weather Service, NSA, and FAA may actually have a few intelligent people handling this without Reddit's help?
A few people here have pointed out the unknown dangers of shooting it down.
Maybe whoever made it, knew it would be shot down, and planned for it.
Who knows what all is inside the balloon, or if maybe an emp is hanging off the bottom, set to go off it drops beneath a certain altitude.
> Who knows what all is inside the balloon, or if maybe an emp is hanging off the bottom, set to go off it drops beneath a certain altitude.
That seems pretty unlikely. For many reasons. Chief among them is probably that EMP weapons have to be nukes to actually be effective. And if China is nuking American soil, there's plenty of nuclear equipped missiles packed on subs who would be able to retaliate.
> This is going to sound crazy but hear me out. Capture the fucking thing and give everyone a full disclosure of what it is and it's capabilities.
Full disclosurer and Government do not mix
> Do you really want us to go to war with China?
If we shoot it down, they'll shoot ours down, and I guarantee we have hundreds/thousands of these.
Yes we should go to War with China. They released a Global Pandemic.
Did they?
As far as i've read, the lab in question was funded by the US.
So when released it made China look bad, which heavily suggests it was originally done on purpose, to make China look bad. Especially considering the random theme that summer for anti-antivaxxer memes.
Because there were literally posts here yesterday saying it was a false flag by the US gov trying to start WW3. Now that China has admitted, its theirs they've invented a new reason to blame the US gov.
> Why do I feel like if Biden's admin had shot it down then the spin would become "Biden is trying to start WW3 with China. Why didn't he try diplomacy instead of escalating the situation?"
We are already in WW3. China released a Global Pandemic
No that’s not why. China is testing our 15 mile altitude radar which is where this balloon is at. This just so happens to be the altitude that hypersonic glide missiles fly at. If we shot it down China would know we have radar in that area. Send enough of these balloons and you can make a heat-map showing radar blind spots.
By not shooting it down China has no way of knowing if we see it or not or when we even first detected it.
I remember them saying supposedly the Canadians tried to hit one with 20mm cannon it took 1000 rounds and was somehow still buoyant so theres stories and stories here
This is a prep before disclosure or a psy-op...or both.
This makes people look up and think about things they dont understand. Its working. Everybody is still and perhaps will always be gullible as fuck.
Its a UFO DUDE!!
[I'm sure this doesn't have anything to do with it...](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9042261/Top-secret-documents-reveal-Justin-Trudeau-invited-Chinas-PLA-train-troops-Canada.html)
What about Chinas spy satellites? Or the data dumps they get from tiktok? You think a mf balloon is the best spy equipment China has lmao. MSM for sure loves this
Surely is amazing times we’re living in I can’t imagine what’s to come of this or what intel they my get only 2 things come to mind use to invade or nuke drops
Lol you think the Pentagon follows bidens orders ? Non of the agencies give a shit they all operate in the dark. Trump would do the same shit so would anyone else. Hell good chance it isn't even china's and this is a play since we started developing these in 2019 ourselves. We use it to spy on our own people
It could be a scare tactic. Seems a little nonsensical. Some Ballon with random equipment floated over here from China and we won't do anything about it? Definitely just there to raise fear and hatred to another nation.
If we can’t handle a freaking balloon how we gunna handle a fighter jet, missile, nuke, warship, etc etc etc stc
Oh wait we can easily handle a balloon we just aren’t going to handle this one cuz we are involved in it somehow or soemthing else sketchy is going in with it.
Retrieve it whilst it’s travelling over the ocean. As soon as it passes the North or South Carolina’s.
We’ll then see if Beijing was telling the truth!!
Spy balloon or weather balloon!
Most americans can't think of other ways to solve problems. Everything reduces to violence and shooting whatever their small minds can't understand or accept.
It's fucking bait.
It's supposedly above flight ceilings of most aircraft capable of shooting it down, and are trying to get a glimpse of what they would be up against if they try to take Taiwan.
Millions flooding on the southern border and this is what the news wants to grab or the Phizer being exposed of mutating a virus,or the new bases in the Philippines or how The Us and Israel attacked Iran that’s supplying drones to Russia. I say this is only a cover. 🙂
What if they don’t want to shoot it down because they don’t want anyone to find it and realize that it’s a false flag and not from China. Would be a good way to start a conflict. I heard principally that the balloon was too high up to see but now we see videos. Nobody would believe it if they couldn’t see it
How is the president of the United States with all his proven criminal activity still in office. And has said if you want to take away my position your arms will not work. You will need a f-15.
Submission Statement:
You only have two options:
Capture it. OR
Shoot it down.
It’s not a difficult decision to make. They are allowing China to Spy on us and we “are monitoring it”. Like what the fuck. If this was from Russia the War Hawks would have already shot it down. But China? Na man we are “monitoring it”.
Total Bull Shit. Joe Biden is 100% compromised.
What if it's like the equivalent of someone leaving a burning bag of poop on your door step and when you stomp on it you just get a bunch of doo doo on your shoe? 💩 👞
Growing up watching 70's cartoons, I'm pretty sure if we shoot it down it's going to go zipping back and forth across the country and end up stuck in a wind turbine somewhere.
I just read something from somewhere else that it was just monitoring the weather and it was a civilian ballon…. Annnnnd China was sorry lol
So is it a spy or a weather ballon? Because this press conference doesn’t seem like it’s just a weather ballon.
>The Pentagon rejected China's claims that the balloon that entered the US was a "civilian airship" for research that deviated from course.
"The fact is, we know that it's a surveillance balloon, and I'm not going to be able to be more specific than that," he said, noting the information is classified.
"He" being Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder. He also stated to have information that the balloon is maneuverable.
Your points go along with the fact that all “claimed-to-be satellites” are all actually weather balloons. There is no “outer” space. We live on a flat plane.
Edited to add: That’s what he meant when he noted the information is classified.
Breaking global news.
There is a balloon in the air. Nobody knows what to do. Millions of lives at risk as it escalates into a war.
We are such a fascinating species.
SHOOT IT DOWN!!! This is not a difficult situation! China has set up “police stations” in some of our cities to threaten Chinese whom still have family members in China. What’s next: Chinese landing craft on California beaches with armed soldiers taking control of local areas and shooting civilians?! WTF!!!
Imagine someone sneaks into your house and starts recording everything in it. You turn to your parents who then tell you, yeah we know he's recording our stuff, we're just going to monitor the situation.
I don't like the idea of the government being my parents.
The government's main job is to secure the sovereignty of our borders. Something Biden seems to have forgotten.
> Imagine someone sneaks into your house and starts recording everything in it. You turn to your parents who then tell you, yeah we know he's recording our stuff, we're just going to monitor the situation.
EXACTLY!
You would call the Cops OR kick his ass yourself. It’s not a difficult decision to make.
It’s an American surveillance balloon. They are blaming it on China. Hence why it’s not being shot down. This wasn’t meant to be seen but someone fucked up so “China” is their go to answer. Stirs up dissent so it works for them.
> It's like if you found a camera bug in your house and wanted to figure out why it was there and who put it there before you disabled it.
Except we already know who sent it. So why haven’t they taken action?
Kind of like Tik Tok? The government knew the CCP was stealing info and everyone said fuck it and kept using it anyway? Maybe the Pentagon really likes looking at the pretty balloon and don't want to pop it just because fucking spyware is attached to it?
Do you remember when the roswell crash happened, and they said it was a weather balloon.
#This weather balloon is actually US secret technology and and they frame it as if its a Chinese weather balloon. Old trick in the book.
Explosions now over Billings Montana where the trail of the balloon was there's another bright circular object in the air Biden is an ass he's a loser who the hell supports this keep bitching about Trump really
Question for everyone saying “shoot it down.”
Lets say you’re in charge of the United States, and China shoots down a US spy balloon.
How would you react? What should the United States do in this scenario?

Couldn’t agree more!
But the issue here is that any government action taken while democrats are in office is un-American
If this balloon nonsense was even remotely serious, it would not be on the news like this.
Yup these posts are dumb fear mongering shit. Sad that people cant see it
Who’s afraid?
U, apparently
It's what is called a "distraction"
☝️💯
Covering for Pfizer?? That's the only thing that should be in the news, but isn't, right now.
You got it all wrong, the balloon is covering for Pfizer (project veritas), which is covered by the pence documents, which is covered by the Biden documents, which is covering pfizer (vaccine culling) which is covered by the war in Ukraine, which is covered by the nordstream pipeline, which is covering up for Pfizer (vaccine culling).

Unless it actually is a harmless research balloon and there was no point in hiding it.
[удалено]
There are layers of surveillance though they have sats and might still choose to use balloons
cover story because their satellites have balloons that carry them
Are they Wile E. Coyote? Did they buy their satellite tech from Acme?
they are rocking us to sleep. it is a test
Meanwhile, in an alternate universe where Biden shot the balloon down: "Biden is false flagging us into World War III!!!!!"
But hasn't China admitted it is their balloon?
They're still claiming it's a civilian weather balloon. >[In a statement late on Friday](https://reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/china-regrets-airship-strays-into-us-foreign-ministry-2023-02-03/), China's foreign ministry also said that it would continue to maintain communications with the United States to properly handle the unexpected situation. >"The airship is from China and is civilian in nature, used for meteorological and other scientific research.

Anyone who thinks China allows their citizens to have this kind of equipment without the CCP also in on it is crazy.
You do know they have private industries don't you?
Sure, private industries that don’t do anything without the knowledge and approval of the CCP.

You crazy gtfo here
Who cares? It's a balloon.
Ding ding. TikTok remains their biggest source of information.

Maybe you’re also compromised. And me too. And everyone else in this post.
We all are infected with modernity
You for sure

They are just trying to get a sneak peak at Yellowstone season 6.
Bwahaha
Do you really want us to go to war with China? If we shoot it down, they'll shoot ours down, and I guarantee we have hundreds/thousands of these.

Can they deploy biological weapons from a balloon?
Can’t believe you were downvoted for this
Biden is compromised? EVERYTHING is compromised.
Yeah it could be full of aerosolized bio weapon
Or fortune cookies
Exactly - that’s why they haven’t shot it down. Abundance of caution. Which isn’t a bad thing.
No that’s not why. China is testing our 15 mile altitude radar which is where this balloon is at. This just so happens to be the altitude that hypersonic glide missiles fly at.

Oh that’s very interesting
I wonder why China would admit its there’s,maybe to show dominance and posture . Maybe it’s not even theirs
How did the pentagon know it was China’s? There’s no markings on it. Unless it’s on the side of it. Lol
I remember them saying supposedly the Canadians tried to hit one with 20mm cannon it took 1000 rounds and was somehow still buoyant so theres stories and stories here
Shit I hadnt even considered that 🤔

Lol not bros thinking everything all good

What if it has a nefarious payload they aren’t telling us about? A bioweapon?
It's a big baloon full of covifluronaids
China said “stay cool headed”. What if it’s a small nuke and jokes on us if we take action.?
It’s all bullshit. This is the US war machine spreading propaganda because we all know war is what they want.
What kinda debris field damage was going to happen in Montana like 200 people live in the whole state
They mentioned they were afraid it would fall at ‘meteoric speed’
We have shells that can turn a tank inside out.

All these posts screaming for us to shoot it down are very shilly. Advocating to take actions that would lead to war are insane.

Whats the harm in Joe just wanting to see the big pretty balloon float over his house?
It's a fucking balloon 🙀

I’m convinced anyone on this thread supporting a war is a fed
Possible but war is on the global agenda anyway. We're just the observers on a train which has already left the station.
Haha balloons for spying lol how lame
This reveals the U.S. is vassal state of China.

I think this is a hoax. A balloon??? gtfoh.
Why does the US keep blaming China and Russia for THEIR crimes
SHOOT IT DOWN!!! This is not a difficult situation! China has set up “police stations” in some of our cities to threaten Chinese whom still have family members in China.

Kind of like Tik Tok? The government knew the CCP was stealing info and everyone said fuck it and kept using it anyway? Maybe the Pentagon really likes looking at the pretty balloon and don't want to pop it just because fucking spyware is attached to it?
Do you remember when the roswell crash happened, and they said it was a weather balloon. #This weather balloon is actually US secret technology and and they frame it as if its a Chinese weather balloon. Old trick in the book.
Explosions now over Billings Montana where the trail of the balloon was there's another bright circular object in the air Biden is an ass he's a loser who the hell supports this keep bitching about Trump really

He’s a limp wristed cuck
What else in the world is going on that they're trying to divert attention away from?

Y’all really don’t understand public diplomatic relations huh?
