@@oregonsbragia Everything daily mass shootings, inflation, the border, Washington corruption, and now this.... a balloon from China or wherever (US)... leisurely drifting around our airspace, South American airspace as well. This incident is a warning ⚠️ We are not safe at all.
Thousands of more sophisticated chinese spy sattelites fly over the US everyday. But they are in lower earth orbit. This balloon could not possibly gather any more intelligence than those other near earth orbit sattelites can. But the fact that people can see it with the naked eye gives it a superstar effect to the public.

China was testing the U.S. by flying over Canada, and the dewey line, supposed to monitor the skies up north, in case of a threat, and the balloon didnt set off any alarms of coming into canadas airspace, and managed to fly into the u.s without anyone noticing, and the alarms of airspace protection protocol until hours later... Could a balloon like this be used to administer biological or chemical attacks by dropping or spraying in the air? Could it have transported tiny drones to be released and spy without being seen like the tiny drones the U.S. has which can sit in the palm of a hand? They were testing the entire airspace detection alarms.
They already know our air defenses are crap. Look at 911...people took 4 of our own planes and we couldn't locate them in over 1 hour. No one cares about our safety just money
it amaze me that it has been allowed to run this long!!! ----the excuse that it may hurt people on the ground.....come on intelligence....you are smarter than that........get rid of this thing!
US laws and penalties only apply to US Citizens. Foreigners can do whatever they want. Just look at our southern border and what the illegals are doing to NY hotels as proof.
Since the balloon flies higher than most any clouds wouldn't it have been less conspicuous to use a blue colored one? This thing stands out pretty clear against the blue sky.
Japan did same thing before attacking usa soil in ww2. China testing are air defense cz it was able to fly over Canada into usa without setting off any alarms .
Well... That’s kind of the thing. Our NSA will mostly want to know where it is relaying its data to. Satelites in orbit? Dedicated CCP ”remote police stations” on the ground? Or maybe some really creative Cell phone App running a software defined radio and uploading it stenographically to the TicTok servers???
Japan did use this very same technique to attack US soil during WWII and actually killing 2 civilians. They even put in a simple timer and calculated on how long it would take for the balloon to reach America (3 days) and release the payload, all of this back in 1940’s so imagine what else they can do today. So not crazy as you think!

Here's how spy balloons work: balloon flies over target country, locals see balloon and have cows and put on tinfoil hats, people who launched balloon laugh their asses off.
A satellite can do an emp with a wider range and far more effective. Also a balloon can’t carry a lot of weight, much less something dense like a warhead. Don’t be stupid.

Canadian fighter planes did machine-gun an errant balloon once. Took it several days to leak out enough to hit ground. This is why we used a late-model Sidewinder to rip a big hole in the balloon envelope.

'there's no limit to the technology you can stick on the bottom of a balloon.'
except, y'know, weight. not to mention the very *idea* of having tactical nuclear weapons or something similar on a *balloon* that could just be blown away in a strong wind just feels, to me, absolutely *hysterical* to consider.
@@kitsunekage12 go look up an EMP attack, China could send a half dozen of these ballons over here and wipe out the entire country
Japan did use this very same technique to attack US soil during WWII and actually killing 2 civilians. They even put in a simple timer and calculated on how long it would take for the balloon to reach America (3 days) and release the payload, all of this back in 1940’s so imagine what else they can do today. So not crazy as you think!
You can't on Canada to protect their airspace they're too busy watching their hockey games.🤪
Imagine that this is even a question.
President Trump gave up his billionaire lifestyle for America 🇺🇸 Joe Biden is giving up America for a billionaire lifestyle. Sorry America you guys are gone.
Maybe It's an Alibaba balloon delivering 6 orders of Dim Sum and egg rolls.
Watching big bad merica freaking out over a weather balloon is pretty damn hilarious though 🤭
Watching everything that has happened since The Brandon Administration has been in office here in merica is extremely concerning
@@johnmahan172 Biden is a real President, and it's a relief. Everything that happened with your lunatic in charge was extremely concerning.
@@cdnlong1 😅👍
Maybe it is a balloon for meteorological purpose?
$1000 says that you are correct. People are easily spooked.
Put a little laser hole in it and track where it gets directed!
No you most definitely don't want to do that because you could be letting out a biological agent over the US land. Think before you get trigger happy.
This is great fearmongering
