Currently a KC-135 orbiting in the area so probably probably some fighters flying around there as well.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

They'll be a dramatic shootdown of a balloon after the end of the super bowl. They'll show Biden and Trudeau with flight jackets on sitting around a conference table looking serious. It's gonna be a prime time ****show. Calling it now.

Something else is going on. This balloon stuff is all a distraction from whats really going on! If CNN is takking bout it you can bet they were told to and get everyone thinking this way. Remember Mika Breznewski said hers and the media's job is to tell people what to believe and think!

There is a KC-135 Stratotanker leaving that area now. It was flying a pattern in that designated air space.

Now there is a AWACS over Chicago heading up that way as well.

Hmm, our Coast Guard son (stationed in Cleveland, OH) is on his way to Essexville, MI for "training". I notice that Essexville is inside the No-Fly zone set over Lake Huron.

That's a sigmet. It just means it's going to be bumpy when you fly there. And it has already moved south.

Give our weapons to Ukraine. Deplete strategic petroleum reserves. Let China take Taiwan because we aren't in a position to stop them.

Based on where they took off from and have gone, looks like normal flights.

The war on balloons

I'm guessing we're spending $50 million per balloon

The military industrial complex strikes again.

All I see on adsbexchange is the E-3 over Lake Michigan. If there's anything else up there, they went dark (not surprising).
