[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2739205, member: 113268"] Again, once the balloon was discovered the military did not want to shoot it down without being able to retrieve the equipment it was carrying which is why they wanted to shoot it down over water and it had to be a really big body of water because it would be spread over 7 miles. They also wanted to study it while it was drifting across the US. It was not a security threat. It did not have to be shot down immediately. Apparently, NORAD has missed several going back to when Trump was president. What is it about the balloon that made it undetectable? The fact that they handled it the way they did may provide that information. Sometimes shooting first and asking questions later isn't the best approach. [/QUOTE]
