I cannot recall any other incident in my 70+ years that has me so embarrassed of our country's ability to defend our sovereignty.
CCP Baloon over the US
- Thread starter Bob Wright
- Start date

Exactly!
That rig was purposely sized and set in orbit, to be visible to most any novice observer. Nothing to worry about, complete Red Herring. Just a layup for the old grandpa sporting Aviators, to claim an aerial victory. By God if there's a box of Kellog's Sugar Pops on board, that'll let the bad guys know what the old warrior means by, not a Joke!

OBiden let the Chi Com's map our base's our missle sites and all the way across the country let alone Alaska before shooting down. Hmmm..... And the missile hits the equipment hanging under balloon. That's helpful....

What a quick response we had. I sure hope they were able to get all the intel they needed with this balloon.
Makes one wonder if China is snooping our latest jamming tech??? Why else would ya send a balloon when modern satellites can do it all??

So more Intel is spilled in shoot down. Our fighters ceiling was stated well below 50K altitude so we announce the fighter used at 58K shot it down with a heat seeking Sidewinder on a frigid air balloon exposing more of our technology on the missile itself. It wasn't a Raptor that has ceiling of 65K I understand but then again reporting is all over the place. Is it me or was this a deal for China?

1) I don't believe it should have got over land.
2) My first concern was what the thing may have had on it. More Wu Flu?
3) Trump got in trouble for pointing out how useless many of our Generals are, and relieved a few. The strength in any Administration is it's subordinates, we got a freak show, appointed not on any competence, but because they were freaks. When such things happen, and nobody gets relieved it demonstrates the problem is at the top.
4) The Chinese have violated every agreement we have made with them. Poison pet food, lead painted children's toys, toxic H2O bottles, 2 rounds of flu blamed on "wet market bat soup".............
5) About Thanksgiving the Chinese people revolted. In the following month the protest stopped due to covid deaths estimated at 60 to 80,000. Because people cam out of isolation LMAO! Also remember the start of covid began with the Chinese people taking to the streets.

click - Swoosh - POW - direct hit on payload. Numerous fragments descending to continental shelf off S Carolina at depth about 500-1000 feet.
CCP guy in balloon surveillance section happily reports that Helio CXVII mission successfully completed with no recoverable pieces.
Compare that to a dire situation where farmer Ole McDonald with a hastily formed militia of 47 armed with a variety of 5.56 mm & .30 caliber weapons, a few 6.5 CM's & even a .50 BMG or two gather about for a photo op in front of a school bus sized spy vehicle that they were able to successfully down after helium bag suffered leakage & descended within range.
Continued immense retail inventory volume assured.
