The US military is tracking a suspected Chinese spy balloon that has been flying over northwestern America in recent days.has"very high confidence" the balloon was flying over sensitive sites to collect information.It was spotted over Billings,on Wednesday - close to one of the US's three nuclear missile silo fields at Malmstrom Air Force Base.
And BLINKEN cancelling a meeting that wasn’t scheduled ?
Shame they didn’t act the same way with Covid
'We are gathering and verifying the facts' By facts they mean Data. China are basically being allowed to surveillance The West whilst all eyes on Ukraine.
That’s a frickin lie
Why all in a sudden calling for ‘cool-headed’ reaction ? Wasn’t she claimed that those spying balloons are drifted to US due to ‘force majeure’ ? Wasn’t she a cocky loud barking female doggie always ?
If there was no peeping I’d be worried. It’s ok 👍
No one’s bothered China, calm down x
Imagine how Chinese government would react if an American balloon is found hovering above China...
Hypocrisy from China , they clearly have done something wrong and they want cool heads yet dip a toe into the South China Sea they act in a completely different way. 🤔 shoot it down then post it back to them on F35 👍
🤡🤡🤡
There's a bunch of unorganized militia, Sovereign-Citizen types, in Montana. The mountains shield these American preppers from Nuclear Attack. I suspect the Chinese want to spy on them since they are the last line of a civilian based organized defense against a foreign invasion.
Schafernaker Would this be one of your weather balloons per chance, Tomasz?
Why havent they shot it down already?
Or it's a human trafficking balloon and the US was looking the other way until it was discovered...
Sounds legit.
And why has it not been taken out !!!..
Why don't they just shoot it down...
I hope this is another step towards a true balance of power in the world otherwise US/UK will continue the genocide around the world
Thought I saw a white orb in the clouds in the direction and above Southend/shoeburyness the other day Wished I got my camera out to capture it but there does seem to be a MOD testing range out there by QinetiQ
Here is a idea fix the fire 🔥 on the ground Covid-19’s the semi market etc
I wonder who else has a history for flying over other people's countries getting aerial reconnaissance photos? 🤔
It's probably blown over, America, and not spying. But the weather had picked up and blow it, with China not wanting to look stupid, hoping the US would not notice as it was so high. If China wanted to attack, I don't think a balloon would be it.
I’m sure if matters were the other way around our Chinese friends would deal with the matter in a cool handed manner!
And yet it’s just left to carry on its journey whilst they ‘track’ it? Why didn’t they shoot it down?
A balloon with no obvious navigation or guidance system. Able to position itself over selected targets. Only visible to, well, everyone.
Shoot it down 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
It’s not going to get shot down because it’s probably not from Earth. I would prefer they capture it to study it
Closer inspection confirms China is behind the balloon
Is this going to be like that barn in the Middle East that was '100% a nuclear weapons factory' in the lead up to invading Iraq?
Yes clearly the Chinese have launched a 'spy'🎈 despite having 'spy' satellites in orbit. American paranoia 😵💫🤯 at its best & fuelled by msm 🤡
Yes, because advanced China didn't want anyone to notice🤣🤣 This is news for ignorant people to believe
A friggin balloon Surely they are advanced enough to have a satellites?
Or is it spreading some new virus maybe sars Covid 3 w an 80% mortality rate? R they doing recon on military installations, nukes
Bad look for China if their surveillance system is in everyone’s focus.
But how can it be spying when everyone knows it's spying? Isn't it more looking like an obvious decoy? 'Here, look at this fancy baloooon while we steel your candy 🍭'
'We don't want to upset the Chinese so we're not going to shoot it down'
They have spy satellites. So what is the real intent of this highly visible balloon?
'Chinese'...
How come Chinese balloons are for surveillance, yet UK ones are for government?
Are we going to shoot it down?
Assume the balloon is full of covid
Why the hell are our enemies openly allowed to spy on my country? Why the hell isn't the administration doing something about this? Why haven't the spy balloons been shot down? Where's the fierce response from Biden to China. There won't be one because China owns him.
Only 10000 people have applied for voter Photos ID. Forget YouGov and similar Tory owned polls . Tory run media and with Tory run Postal Voting , I’m Betting The lowest Turnout on Record and a Conservative Landslide !!!
This is very bad if true.
Gutless biden won't bring it down
This contraption must have come over the seas. Why wasn't it blown to bits when it entered over US airspace on the seas? Please explain who was sleeping Pentagon? Not acceptable.
Oh hell, what’s the big deal? Just shoot it down.
Shoot it down then
'surveillance device of Chinese origin' Over Montana? Why? Also, if this is a foreign surveillance device, why isn't it being shot down?
bobby_irons6 thought we were watching someone’s drive for a solid while
the Chinese are spying on Montana ?
China Aerostats! They are way ahead in technology
Meanwhile, everyone shares this story on tiktok.
Possible second balloon over Canada now.
No proof it’s from China like Covid
Reminds of the Japanese plan in WW2 to fly baloon bombs over West Coast of US. I think woman and children were killed when one that landed exploded near them(?)
🤷♂️
If you lie on China or Russia again the United Kingdom will go bankrupt in all ways possible.
Looks like the end of ET?
Does the US not fly surveillance satellites over China and every other country around the globe 🤔 🤣
We should send them one back. It would be bad manners not to.
Stick a hole in it
Stones and glass houses and all that…
NORAD Is a failure along with canda on defense of our northern hemisphere
Hypersonic EMP... paint the target.
How they know it’s Chinese
