You're the only one who has gotten it.....China could launch a campaign on Taiwan...while keeping the US airforce busy with a UFO in Alaska or elsewhere around. It wont be easy though....Not with US' subs and frigates distributed so strategically as they currently are

United States is looking for something to shoot at. Last time it was a balloon, now it's unknown object, I hope it wasn't a bottle of beer.

Escalation and warmongering to cover up problems like inflation, debt-ceiling, pending stock market crash, economic recession and abstract poverty (homeless people).

Knowing Biden it's probably a set-up to try and counter the flack he's been getting over the last balloon fiasco!.. He hates bad press and I believe he's capable of doing anything to make himself look good!..



I was looking for critical thinking on Nairaland. The first and second page was very disappointing..it makes me want to agree with Borrell's view of Africans. That's the reality for some of us.

The 'spy balloon' approached the North American mainland/hinterland from the pacific ocean direction. They had plenty oppurtunity to shoot it down over the Pacific Ocean before it flew over North American mainland. From comments I've read, I'm 100% certain a good number of Nairalanders do not know where China or the US is located on the world map.
Why were they unable to detect and shoot this aforementioned 'spy balloon' before it got to the US mainland/hinterland but they're able to detect this new 'flying object' that approached from the same Pacific Ocean direction. Can't you guys see the BS? It was disappointing that no one brought up that question on the first and second page. I just saw adults who ought to be intelligent behave like unhinged monkeys.

The US put that object up there themselves and shot it down to save-face towards their citizens after the last bungled incident

Didn't you follow the story of the first balloon shot by f32 the trajectory and how far it had reached before getting shot

First, there’s no such thing as f32.

Second, how far it reached or how far they deliberately allowed it to reach? US, Canada and Mexico form the NORAD and all those airspace is under ONE command. FYI, there’s no way they didn’t spot it since it entered Canadian airspace. And there’s nothing it could see that Chinese satellite can’t already see.. so why shoot it down in a civilian populated area

I simply must buy some high altitude balloons online, just to see the US spend a million dollars shooting it down. I will even suspend some radio antennas off it so they can say it was a spy balloon.

https://www.highaltitudescience.com/products/weather-balloon-1500-g
Weather Balloon 1500 g
$159.00

Our 1500 g weather balloon is a workhorse that will transport your payload higher than any other 1500 g balloon. Although it is more expensive than the Chinese and Indian weather balloons, its quality is far superior. This enables you to achieve higher altitudes with a smaller weather balloon, less helium, and less overall cost. If you are not satisfied with your 1500 g balloon’s performance, we will send you another 1500 g weather balloon at no additional cost!

Cheap 1500 g balloons have short, fat necks that are challenging to tie off. Our 1500 g weather balloon features a 14 cm long neck with a 3 cm diameter. This makes it a lot easier for your ground crew to tie off the neck after inflating the balloon.

Characteristics

Neck Diameter 3 cm
Burst Altitude 35 to 40 km / 115,000 to 130,000 ft

Obvious- this was a Weather Balloon launched by a US Sub somewhere up north. Biden trying to save face with the id10t Liberals that believe anything he says. They launched it, then Biden sends up a jet to shoot it down pretending that it was something that could be a threat. But you know there is a good portion of Dum Americans that will believe him.

You missed the point.
I won't debate with you on if they actually detected the 'spy balloon'. That's what they told you and that's what you'll believe.
The point is, both flying objects approached from the Pacific Ocean. If they were able to shoot this new flying object before getting to the US mainland, they should have been able to shoot down the 'spy balloon' before it got to the US mainland.
Don't mention me if you want to say nonsense. Nigerians are disappointing some times.
Kept saying "spy balloon" as if u don't believe it is truely is, well hope u know another was detetected in Latin America? Well u hance choose to believe whatever u want to and take sides as well.

It's only a fringe minority of idiots that believes that China used that balloon to spy in this modern age where advanced satellites are available.
It's not unusual for balloons to drift off course.
