Weather balloon! Civilian airship? At freezing temps 40-60 thousand miles above where planes fly? Lies and misinformation
Chinese balloon flying over US 'intentional,' not weather craft that blew off course, US official says Senior US official says it was 'bold' of Chinese government to fly spy balloon over US territory!
U.S. officials on Friday disputed claims from the People's Republic of China that a Chinese surveillance balloon detected over the northern United States was a "civilian airship" that had blown off course.
I don't believe anything coming out of Faux News.
True! I should’ve titled that differently..
The balloon is flying anywhere from 52,000 to 100,000 feet (not miles) above the earth's surface.
Jet airliners fly at max about 42,000 feet.
Some fighter jets can go higher, but not much past 50,000.
Didn't the U2 fly at 60-80k ft?
It may have, but that was a highly specialized spy plane. Regular jet airliners don't go much past 42,000 feet.
Sorry, yes. I wasn't trying to correct you, just adding some useless info :D
Right!
I admit the whole things is sketchy.
Fuckin' thing is overhead as of 3:50pm central. I ain't cool with this at all.
If they're scanning me all they're getting is hairy midget porn. If they're going to emp me then they will ruin some hard to find adult entertainment.
Right!
Still I didn’t sleep well knowing they were in our airspace near our airbase! WTH..,
Take it down so we know what’s in it.
Funny, you’d think the US would want to see what intel they gathered with the balloon…
Exactly, and we could snatch it out of the sky with a drone.
Falling particles? Really? (Media we’re worried about falling particles on pedestrians!) We easily could obliterate it. What ever happened to those military lasers?
Might contain a bio weapon, prob should be inspected before demolition.
My thoughts exactly
Should put some holes in that thing........it would be fun
Could be a EMP not good it needs holes in it!
Terrorize with drones with lasers, quit being skeered
After I read that I couldn’t sleep— seriously disconcerting..
