The Pentagon says it has observed another Chinese 'surveillance balloon' — this one in Latin America — just hours after revealing that a similar balloon from China was making its way across the continental U.S.

, leaving Americans across the middle swath of the country looking to the skies for the white floating apparatus.

On Friday afternoon, Ryder told reporters that the Pentagon"will continue to monitor and review options." . It said the balloon “deviated far from its planned course” because of strong winds and a lack of steering ability."It has the ability to maneuver," he said, while declining to go into specifics.

Blinken confirmed the postponement during a press briefing Friday, but said"we are going to remain engaged with the PRC [People's Republic of China] as this ongoing issue is resolved. The first step is getting the surveillance asset out of our space. And that’s what we’re focused on."

That balloon can cause death by way of releasing deadly toxins or anthrax or a new virus

Why is the Biden Administration allowing the Chinese to purchase American farmland, purchase real estate next to our military bases? Trump stopped this from happening, Biden allows it 10% for the Big Guy

Biden's WEAKNESS emboldens our enemies He's an embarrassment allowing the Chinese spy balloon continue to collect data over our Military facilities. National Security is at risk. WorstPresidentEver

Wow. 1 tweet in 9 hours about America’s airspace being invaded by a communist country. Stop crying when Americans call you FakeNews

atheist communist party allway speaks truth Confucuis say origin of covid is known

One is an accident… I was prepared to leave my cynicism in its drawer. But now I'd be happier if they shot them down as they leave Chinese airspace.

On the Chinese balloon, why can't we lasso it and drag it to a safe place? There would be no debris field?

U.S. corporations have been raping Central and South American economies for over a century. The CIA has interfered numerous times in their elections and politics. But let's get upset over a Chinese weather balloon! 🙄

Are they testing a new technology or something

Now a China balloon is moving over Latin America? Wonder if it was also a mere accident?

Any significant damage from a falling balloon would most likely be far less dangerous than a falling rocket booster. Of course, it could be booby trapped but who would booby trap a weather balloon?

Bring it down. Biden is such a weak president.

Fight Fire, with Fire

Biden did order it to be shot down. Apparently the Pentagon via General Milley belayed that order. If this is true… You know the General that said Trump was going to launch missiles at China and called the CCP to calm them down when it turned out to false?

Why wasn't stopped when it was Pacific and why wait spy balloon moving around in U.S airspace

1 might be an accident. 2? Not so much

I have learned that we should not invest in our military anymore. We are way to far ahead. The Chinese doesn't even have satellite to see why Montana is a third world country. They have to use these shitty clown balloons.

Is only a water Balloon hahaha

If that's the ISS I see then that white circle can't be the balloon. The ISS is too far away to come between us and the balloon.

“The Pentagon assessed the balloon to be roughly the size of at least two school buses, one U.S. official said.” ChineseSpyBalloon

It’s probably Harry Kane’s missing England penalty from the World Cup 2022 against France 🇫🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️😉.

Bro take it out now! Any damage as a result hold china responsible for. It’s not that complicated.

China did not warn the US in advance. We started tracking it over the Aleutian Islands. But we did not shoot it down then

Our beautiful American hemisphere is being invaded and leaders like LuLa and Biden do NOTHING!!! This is unacceptable

So what happened to the video from a woman in Montana that filmed something falling from the sky?

China is 'studying' low atmospheric air current patterns... three years after releasing a weak biological weapon... what is next that they are planning.

🤣 Jeez what happened to the balls our country had? It’s OUR airspace. Only reason it doesn’t make any sense is because we don’t know the whole story. (Or at least I hope that’s it!)

we should be shooting these down

Well that’s a bridge too far. If the world knows anything about the US, it’s that fucking with Latin America is OUR business and OURS alone! Good day, sir!

Tell your president he can come out from underneath his bed..

If we can detect these 'spy balloons' then they're not doing their job very well, are they?

Max Zorin and 'A view to a kill'

Lmao what a shitshow

No More Trade Deals With China

Next stop… Oak Ridge, Tennessee 🎈

lookner

Oh, they’re multiplying. Like COVID.

And Joe Biden is crapping his diaper

Turning 'on' covid or info gathering via TikTok backdoor access? sketch

Crazy

What did you expect when we have a President who, along with most of his Cabinet are Chinese assets.

The balloon intends to file for asylum when it crosses the US Southern border!

Its probably filled with Monkey Pox

Well someone is most definitely into ballooning. And we'll yeah it is quite an interesting object I would personally go out wave at it and see where my picture appears online...

Guess China doesn't know how to rein in their balloons? Seriously?

Surprisingly the Chinese decided bright white was a good colour for a spy balloon.

We can't secure our border, did you expect anything else with our skies ? They allowed it to cross Alaska for 10 days. It is now best take it down over the Atlantic so we can keep it intact. Study the electronic/electrical sensor technology.

Bio weapon?

Shoot the balloon over mar a lago and enjoy the fireworks.💥

This Administration.

I wish we still had an alpha male in the Whitehouse.

Montana is just about the LEAST densely populated State. The chances of the balloon falling on someone is less than getting struck by lightning or a meteor. What's the REAL reason the government is permitting this violation and security risk?

Here's a close up of the balloon.

Biden is feckless and maybe he’s a traitor. China is our enemy and now America has been violated once again.

I don't get this though. These balloons aren't as effective for spying as Satellites so why send them? Did they do it with intention of stopping Blinken visit. Seems an odd time for Chinese to send it...err them 🤔

Surprised your compromised president isn't pictured on it..

Maybe it’s just an ad balloon for Tik Tok. 👀😌

The Pentagon wants you to fear a Chinese balloon but they don't want you to know about their own 'Gorgon Stare' surveillance operations that are directed against US. What you read in the controlled media is never the whole story.

At this time?!?

How do you say 'White Bronco' in Chinese?

Did that one get off course too? Ugh… ☹️

It could be surveillance footage being sent back to China for research of what all's on the ground, ie; buildings and such.

And our weak president will do nothing.

Second Chinese surveillance balloon spotted over South America, Pentagon saysThe Pentagon has confirmed to ABC News that a second Chinese surveillance balloon has been spotted transiting over South America. Weather balloons checking if indeed the jet stream is changing, most top countries have satellites for things like that. Balloons seem very primitive Pentagon Says They say allot of stupid stuff. Another article from 6ABC about the Chinese spy balloon, and another bland opinion free take. Imagine if this was a Russian balloon that trump was just letting spy on us. What would those articles sound like? This shows you how compromised 6ABC is by china through Disney.
