China’s Weather Balloon…Hovers Over the USA!

[Frau Muller]

The big white balloon hovering over Montana yesterday…is a “weather balloon” from China. No need to puncture it…Up, up and away! ?

China has claimed the balloon flying over the U.S. as its own. Here's everything you need to know.

China claimed responsibility for the balloon spotted over Montana, apologizing and stating it was used for weather research.

I looks as if this is being discussed here:

China & Related Geopolitical Issues

lol. @Gris https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4861193011594082 http://english.www.gov.cn/news/topnews/202301/22/content_WS63cce9c6c6d0a757729e5fb7.html I must ask @genegri as well that, if this is what you meant by "steal", then surely you can't disagree with Xinhua now? :lol:

So I’m posting there now…as the US Pentagon is treating this as a spy device…not just “weather monitoring.”

Isn't the idea of spying supposed to be secretive?

Why not take an “in your face” approach and see what you can get by with? How will the opposing country react? The leaders of China despise the US.

We could all boycott -as much as possible - purchasing goods from China. At least try.

Balloon shot down and reports it wasn’t the first over our country.

An opinion piece on why all this is unwarranted:

Biden just ordered the shooting down of yet another Chinese balloon, much smaller than those in the past. It was shot down over Alaska.

Biden says shoot down of 'high-altitude object' over Alaska was a 'success'

President Joe Biden told CNN that the shoot down a "high-altitude object" hovering over Alaska on Friday "was a success," shortly after American national security officials disclosed that the commander-in-chief gave the US military approval to take the action.

News reported they didn’t know yet who it belongs to. So it will be vital to find that out.

And Trudeau ordered another something or other shot down as well. What the devil is going on up there?

Another one? WSJ is reporting they downed another mystery object over Canada.

Jeepers, were the Chinese trying to recreate the scene from Up, and things got away from them.

 

[Frau Muller]

Three days in a row - another object shot down over Lake Huron, USA area, on Sunday.
What’s up?

How long before conspiracy theorists decide it is aliens?

They did last week.

So, a total of 4 now.

I am thinking that downing of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) may not be something new. It was probably happening for years but the China balloon attracted a lot of attention. Now our media are reporting everything that was downed. Not every object was a spy object, but as a precaution they were taken out. No need to panick.

At least this is how it appears to me.

A related article that explains - kind of.

I highly doubt this is an alien craft (too simplistic?)

However, it is concerning that these objects are in civilian air space because it would be horrible if one of them brought down a passenger plane.
