Biden to shoot down the balloon on East Coast waters today _ Update: JUST NOW SHOT DOWN

Pathogens are released. Mission success.

The explosion was at the base, so it could have been a self destruction.

Anyway about it, there won't be anything left of the electronics.

nothing exploded, the covid stain has been dropped. job complete

Where's the 400 square mile debris field?

Such liars

I'm expecting them to just confirm China's story: "Just a weather balloon, nothing to see here!". You know it's already transmitted its data to whoever sent it in the first place. It's all about optics at this point.

Was there a gender reveal?

looked more like a self destruct....

Jfc how long does it take to splash down?

Looks like it had a self destruct mechanism on it.

Payload shattered upon balloon deflation.

It's a weather balloon and silly americans are running around like headless chickens.

Keep allowing your foreign owned government to keep poking the bear and he will send you new suns to fry that chicken except i think Putin is also under the control of the same puppet masters and is helping the US MIC to make money in a go-slow war in the Ukraine.

So many chickens, so few eggs

Well I’m glad they finally did it but sleepy Joe shoulda done it when they seen it heading here almost a week ago and it entered our airspace Tuesday. Just wondering how this would have played out under different presidents.

Just thinking out loud about why the wait til this moment.

If this was a test of an EMP delivery system, were TPTB possibly worried shooting the thing down would actually trigger the device?

ing to see what folks post regarding payload.

So am I to understand that PEDO just contaminated the eastern seaboard and all of it's endangered species with unknown materials and chemicals?

Not very green - no more sniffing Greta for pedoey.

Weather, spy, or other --

-- China just fired a shot over our bow.

Dumbass camera man followed the balloon material and not the payload, worthless footage SMH

It's down under water now. They are just filming the balloon still falling.

Imagine if China blew up a USA military satellite .... and live on tv around the world.

The heavy junk is probably already in the water... This is just the plastic bag drifting in the wind.

Hope they scoop it up so they don't choke the turtles.

Turn on fox news

They have all these old ass war mongers on there saying this is due to obama cutting our military funding and now they need more because we could only fight for weeks and china could fight for months

Of course, this has nothing to do with us fighting nonstop wars all over the globe my entire life and not to mention our astronomical military budget already

Never let a crisis go to waste i guess. We should all be taxed more so they can buy more missles to shoot these balloons down!

this. hopefully indies got it

To fall into the bermuda triangle. Yeah.

Anyone see multiple flashes along the line of descent of the payload?

It looks like the payload should have been blown to bits... Good luck recovering anything useful.

You can also see something falling away from the popped ballon at a much faster speed.

So possibly some of the electronics might survive, but finding them will be near impossible in the ocean.

Look at the pretty lights

ohh lawdy lawds, mow ze virus gonna spread :o
