Heard on the news earlier that thing is bigger than two school buses.
If that shit falls out of the sky, the damage it could do in a heavily populated area.
And we know good chance it will land in “Da Hood”.

Chinese spy balloon – live: Second airship spotted over Latin America as Pentagon reviews options
Pentagon official rejected Chinese claims after the ‘intelligence gathering’ airship was spotted near the Malmstrom Air Force base in Montana
A second Chinese spy balloon has been spotted moving across Latin America, the Pentagon announced on Friday night.
It is unclear exactly which country in the region the balloon is hovering over but it does not appear as if it is headed towards the United States, according to CNN.
Earlier a senior Pentagon official flatly rejected Beijing’s claims that a Chinese airship spotted flying over sensitive US military sites was a meteorological research balloon.
Brigadier General Pat Ryder said during a press briefing at midday on Friday that the US was continuing to weigh its options and described the airship’s presence as an “unacceptable” violation of US airspace.
“We are aware of the (People’s Republic of China) statement. However, the fact is, we know that it’s a surveillance balloon.”
He said the balloon was moving eastward over the centre of the United States at an altitude of 60,000 feet on Friday.
Possible sightings of the balloon were reported in Missouri on Friday afternoon. Fox2 reported that it was visible in the skies from 2.30pm to 3.30pm.
And the National Weather Service’s Kansas City office shared photos of a mystery balloon above the city at 12.30pm.
Defence officials have said the balloon’s flight path had taken it over “a number of sensitive” military sites, including the Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, which houses 150 nuclear warheads.
On Friday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a planned trip to China after Beijing claimed ownership of the balloon.

meaning the protocol for enemy air was to shoot it down immediately.
politics has ruined our lethality. That has been a GOP talking point and probably the only over I will ever concede.
if it’s not a digital retrans node.

You thinking to small.
Let me really scare the Shit out of you and everybody else reading this…
The Electronic Device you are using to read this, there is a 99.9% chance that it was manufactured entirely in China.
Every electronic device in your home, there is a 99.9% chance it was manufactured in China.
The car you drive, 99.9% chance the electronics in it were made in China, along with the electronics in commercial aircraft, locomotives (trains) and delivery trucks.
There is a 99.9% that all electronics in the US used for commercial applications were made in China.
So….
How about fly a balloon(s) over the US.
Hit the Switch and it sends out a EMP Pulse to cover the entire USA frying all electronics or activating a hidden feature to lock everything up. Or possibly enable a Trojan Horse Virus to knock out every electronic device.
Remember the 2012 remake of the classic “Red Dawn” film.
The North Koreans managed to send a EMP Pulse over the Pacific Northwest of the US in order to successfully land their troops and supplies.
And if that scenario plays out…that pea shooter AR-15 with the extended magazine ain’t gonna help you like in the movies.
Something to think about…
What are the risk of shooting it down?
This sounds familiar…

Something the size of three buses falling from the sky.... they missed their chance over Montana.... shoulda made it part of the next season of Yellowstone
im stating my opinion, dude. Not defending my doctoral thesis.
No worries. I thought you had an informed opinion is all.
Maybe, but I also know not to try to put all that kinda shit on this forum.
in 21 years on this site you learn your words make it back to where they should not.
So this was the reason for all those flight delays. They wanted everyone out the sky in anticipation of shooting it down.
If they want it.... they'll pop that bitch and drop it right off the Outer Banks when it gets there.... they'll have 14 miles offa the coastline to play that scenario if they can't hack the controls and bring it down in a controlled descent
