Statement from the Pentagon:B-1 83 said:With all the brilliant minds we have in this country, computers, etc…….we couldn't have popped that damn thing in Eastern Washington and predicted where it would fall within 20 miles in the vast expanses of Montana or the Rocky Mountains?redcrayon said:Why would we do that when we had disabled it's ability to gather and transmit data?Rapier108 said:When it was over Montana, there are virtually nothing for it to fall on. Should have been blasted out of the sky right then and there.redcrayon said:
We can't just shoot stuff down and endanger civilians. That debris can kill people and destroy property.
Actually, should have shot it down over the Aleutian Islands.
You can't predict where the debris will land. This isn't that simple.
Like I told the 91 guy, you can always email the Pentagon if you think you know better than they do. Of course, you can also believe they are lying.Quote:
After careful analysis, US military commanders had determined downing the balloon while over land posed an undue risk to people across a wide area due to the size and altitude of the balloon and its surveillance payload.

Frankly, I am glad our leaders didn't fire an ICBM over this so I am not sure what point you're trying to make.
This balloon probably didn't have much intelligence significance in the satellite era. It's more about making a statement that they intend to compete with us on the global stage and as a bit of psychological warfare. I'm glad we shot it down, demonstrating our capability to do so as we see fit. And I think it's best for Americans, (presuming that's what y'all want) that you don't blow the significance of this balloon out of proportion... Just remember what's at stake and why it is so important to contain China. Foriegn policy unity no matter who is in the White House will be our most powerful response - just saying. There's plenty to ***** about from Biden, but I think you're just stretching to make everything a political failure if that's what you turn this into.
No one here knows the capabilities this thing had, what it was able to collect and send back. THAT'S the issue. You can talk in probabilities, but I'd rather not see our executive take that chance. This thing should have been taken out BEFORE entering our airspace, but once breached, ASAP. Biden, or any future Prez, would have been better doing either. In the former, none of us would even be talking about it, because none of us would have even known about it. In the latter, it would have bought at least some clout with mainstream Republicans. As it turned out, he just looks like the little ***** we all know him to be.

I can't imagine there's much to be found/learned from water logged balloon parts.
Thanks. Did not know that Canada had those capabilities nor inclinations
You gotta be wondering what Joe asked his masters in Beijing for that they demanded he allow this international embarrassment in payment

Bolded is definitely accurate. But I would expect our military did. Or at least knew considerably more about it than a bunch of random message board posters.

First the Americans have to assemble a recovery team that accurately reflects the racial diversity of the US.
The news stated that the military was alerted to the balloons presences when it entered Montana. Where was NORAD at the time of the incursion? If it can track Santa Clause, I am sure it can detect a balloon.J. Walter Weatherman said:f1ghtintexasaggie said:Gordo14 said:fka ftc said:

NR-1 has been enroute as soon as they decided to shoot it down in the Atlantic.
Chinese spy balloon is lame.
I'ts 2023.
We just saw top gun. 2 over the summer. We pumped.
We expecting something ww3 level spectacular, and we got a spy balloon getting shot down by a F22 raptor.
Thats lame. I expected more. Spy balloon was a flop. I want a refund.

now try to come up with another ridiculous answer such as the above :redcrayon said:
It probably wasn't able to gather/transmit info anymore which is why it wouldn't make sense to endanger civilians to shoot it down.
when it was APPROACHING UNINHABITED ALASKA AND CANADA
or the mountains of North Carolina. and yes, I have been there, and there are actually uninhabited mountains in western North Carolina near Asheville.
maybe someone should try looking at a map of the USA and Canada?
Ask Chat GpT for a 500-word essay about the spy balloon in the style of Art Bell.
1. so a war with china isn't going to kill any americans when they take note of our feckless response?MarathonAg12 said:redcrayon said:

This!
The threat to national security did not outweigh the risk of killing civilians on the ground
2. Have you never looked at a map of the United States and Canada and noticed where cities and towns are located?
3. didn't the leftists for years tell us WE CAN'T BUILD PIPELINES IN ALASKA because it would hurt the pristine and uninhabited environment of the bears?!?!

I wouldnt count on it.
Now that spy balloon #2 has entered US airspace posts should identify either spy balloon #1 or spy balloon #2 is being referenced. We can't be posting spy balloon comments all willy nilly.
And FJB.

Was spy balloon 3 the one that was shot down yesterday and nobody could say what it was?
Well crap, hopefully we have a classified replacement or hired Robert Ballard

Montana has a population of a little bit more than 1 million people. Montana is a huge state, fourth largest. If we can't drop a balloon in that huge area without hitting someone, that doesn't say much for our capability. This isn't 1865.
I noticed the Chinese *******s issued a statement condemning this.
The Chinese paid the Bidens for American secrets. They had to get them.agent-maroon said:
Still begs the question of why they didn't shoot it down over Montana. It's just as likely to hit a boat/ship off the coast as it is a ranch house/cabin in Montana. It appears to me that they're just covering their ass because they got busted
Yes. The guy at the top of the chain of command.bmks270 said:
Someone inside the US chain of command is probably getting paid by China to let it pass over.
But we all knew that. Some people even voted for that.
An F-22 scores a hit. There isn’t much a Chinese spy ballon is going to see that you can’t see on Google Earth. So do you suppose it was monitoring our radar and electronic countermeasures? I’m guessing they dropped it in the water so we could retrieve it relatively intact. pic.twitter.com/RbGWIlnSNl

Multiple sources claimed Russian collusion. Multiple sources claimed Hunter's laptop wasn't real. Multiple sources claim democrats loves America. All bull*****mike0305 said:
Multiple sources claiming the balloon thing happened during the Trump admin as well, so Reps also sat on their hands and kept silent. Maybe not all of them knew, but calling out Dems at this point after it blew up in public is just political grandstanding, they were just as much wusses when at the wheel.

Our thoughts on the current controlled EXTRATERRESTRIAL reality disclosure process and related US GOV cover-up? Once the uneasy, contagious giggling subsides, how will our civilization and the mislead sheep adapt to this publicly known reality? Are the good Shepherds withholding the truth in our best interest? Perhaps multiple species are involved?
