Last spotted floating over Montana. Joe won't give the order to blast it. Surely the OT can put their heads together and figure out a way to bring this thing down.

Joe gave the order. The Pentagon refused.

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

Everyone should do just the opposite of what they normally do so the Chinese will get all sorts of false info

The prevailing winds should take it right over your hacienda Dan, so no skinny-dipping in the frozen lake.

They say it's the size of three school buses --- which would seem too large for a weather balloon --- so what's in it that would tell the Generals to advise Biden not to shoot it down .
Are we a sovereign nation or not ????

Not to worry, but I am on my patio in -9f temperature with my trusty 7.62x39 AR . . . .waiting for a fly-by.

Is it green ? ? ? ?

Is this a job for Space Force? Or is the balloon’s altitude too low for their jurisdiction?

They scrambled F-22s to shoot it down but decided it wasn't worth the risk to people on the ground to shoot it, witch means it must be over a populated area. They said it doesn't appear to be capable of gaining any info that they don't already know from satellites anyway.

I think it's border-line space. I think a laser weapon is the way to go.

If they don’t take it down, then the Chinese will just do it again and again. The next one could be a dirty bomb or something worse.
