The pentagon said the balloon can be steered and has changed course. China says it is for weather observation and they are sorry it ended up over the US. So all is well.

No sir, big gray ones ...these were not Blackhawks.

Blackhawks are not necessarily black in color.

I know, MJM... neither are Chinooks always grey . I do know the difference between the two , many of the Blackhawks I see here are black or a very dark olive grey/green.

I also know them by silhouette in twilight , and by sound alone.

Can't the MT governor use their nat'l guard units and shoot it down? That'd really tick off cabbage head.

K Snow, I sure wish he would. I don't understand the logistics behind all this stalling.

If Xi would have had MAGA on the side, the woke, fake generals and non binary’s of the upper echelon dod would have blasted it out of the sky three days ago..

It isn't very often that you can observe BS that is lighter 'n air. Between Joe, DOD, and a Roswell hangar maybe they can work it out.

Dem's in control are spineless.Woke. I would suggest that they are traitors. Not that our dictator and crew are any better.

That is the same story I've heard; it's steerable and the Chinese have admitted ownership. But...it's only a weather balloon gone off course...


Eh...wot?

I can't believe all of you want to shoot the thing down. What good could possibly come from shooting it down? What's it made out of and what's in it???? Nobody knows. Weather balloon? It's not like any weather balloon I've ever seen. Don't weather balloons fly much higher than this? What purpose would China have of sending a weather balloon over the US and then saying they don't know why it's there, when they are obviously steering it.

It came from China and they intentionally brought it over the US, just look at the map of where it has travelled. Only an idiot would shoot this thing down at this point.

I am surprised someone hasn't shot it, especially when we have all heard who's balloon it is. What trouble could a person get in?

Maybe a Redneck Icarus can put his wings on fly up there with their AR. Give them stinking Commies a lesson in real Americans..
