A high-altitude balloon of unknown origin is being tracked by the US government, according to a report. The balloon is currently flying over the Western regions of the country, US officials told CBS News. High-altitude balloon of unknown origin flying over Western US: report (nypost.com)
Who said it was not detected before it was over the US? All the story said was that it was "reported" on Friday, not "just detected" on Friday.
Just wait till the "weather balloons" start dropping deadly viruses from our skies. Nothing to get concerned about.
Hearing that it is just a hobbyist’s balloon. Biden’s fault though. …………….. Despite the fact that DOD said it was not a threat or anything to worry about, that certainly didn't stop Republicans from their usual nonsense. The DOD followed up their initial reports today with a statementthat it is actually just a hobbyist's balloon. Here is Jesse Watters' segment on Fox last night about the "Chinese Spy Balloon," followed by some screen shots from some of your favorite Republicans. https://www.meidastouch.com/news/republicans-panic-over-hobby-balloon
Well, NORAD ended the saga over the weekend. Small, nonthreatening balloon intercepted over Utah by NORAD
Reading up on your Japanese and WWII history I see. Well done. Japan has already done this and it was not very productive. In fact, only 5 Americans were killed from the nearly 200 balloons released. 5 people out on a picnic in Bly, Oregon found a downed balloon and investigated. That one had no germs but an anti-personnel bomb. Several in the group were killed instantly, the others died later. Been there, defended that. Next.
Nice reference to such a historically obscure and overlooked event, but I think you give the poster too much credit
