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!

Or it self destructed. Did anyone see a missile.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84322691


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.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80757165



It was a missile strike, because you can see the smoke going off to the side.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80757165


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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80757165


In exchange for the CCP to give the US permission to shoot the balloon down, we had to do it after it's mission and in a location where the electronics and assembly would either be completely destroyed or not able to be located.

Good job United States Government for continuing to serve your master, the CCP.

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.

 Quoting: Lady Jane Smith


This was hardly a shot over the bow

a little overly dramatic.

It could have easily been shot down over the aleutians before it even crossed in to mainland Alaska. Or easily over the Pacific before it hit the contiguous US.

This balloon was a whole lot of nothing. It's simply China playing games and the US welcoming the distraction

I can't wait for some Hollywood movie on this topic.

Brave pilot John gets into the plane, greets his family and sets off on a very dangerous mission. A balun filled with biological weapons from China is going to the USA. With a superb maneuver, he avoids the balloon attack and destroys it like in the Star Wars movies...

After that, he returns home, receives decorations and everything returns to the normality of the American dream!

They shot it down after it completed its mission and flew over the whole country

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24983528


yes. but that only makes sense if you're a Democrat or mentally retarded. they could've put it down over an unpopulated area anywhere in Montana as they had their pick of locales. and then they could've picked it up on dry land, a very easy recovery. but instead they decide to drop it in the water damaging it so both the recovery & forensic analysis of it is more difficult if not impossible. one must conclude that this was a coordinated effort between China & the US Government to subvert the USA.

A shame that the cameraman didn't pull back wide enough to see the inbound jet and the missile launch.

ANd then failed to follow the payload as it descended very quickly after the explosion.

Everything about the situation was screwy.

The explosion caused a lot of debris, and you can see it above the balloon as it was falling.

Because it was above the balloon, I'm assuming it was fragments of the balloon materials, which were much lighter.
