Until the analysis is done this topic is about cowardly Republicans freaking out over imagined [fill in the blank]* fears and demanding that which is not happening be addressed. Also the coward's conflicting demands to "shoot it down!" or "why did they shoot it down?" depending on circumstances, sometimes both in the same sentence.
*aliens, Manchurian candidate (Biden), govt conspiracy, Illuminati, spreading disease, etc.

Wow. 2,000 lb payload. Now we know why helium is so high these days.

The balloon's prolonged incursion into U.S. airspace prompted the Pentagon to adjust how it is using radar to look for similar activities,

It was a mere filtering problem with the sensors, just one spy balloon and the others commercial. It wasn't much of a story to begin with, but everybody likes a good mystery and all the networks had it top of the news for days. Meanwhile there is real news elsewhere, lot's of it, and not much of it is kind to the republicans or Trump.
The Republicans and foxnews will try to create and leverage fear, it's what they do, create strong emotions and then manipulate the suckers while feeding them the spun news and a narrative. It always works best with a strawman to cast blame on, an "other" to evoke tribalism, someone different than them.

Not really a fuckup. We learned that they had sent at least three during the Trumpf years, none of them detected in real time. They are poking us to see how we react. Now that we know how and where to look for them, they will most likely stop. But they may keep it up just to test our systems.

Mike Meyers' face was so of our time..The Stairway- Denied is crazy because everyone with a guitar was trying to learn it..but what makes this is his facial, after he says 'denied' his head and face still has the expression of a kid in that time period. He totally nails it.

A huge craft hovering over the lake around the corner from my house, I totally believed my Suma Cum Laude daughter..what it is is unknown but why we haven't caught is now answered..time to recalibrate radar systems.
He's got my vote in 2024.

It's an ongoing program now sanctioned.
Who is Wu Zhe? Scientist behind China's spy balloon program
A number of private companies linked to Wu Zhe were sanctioned by the United States last week.

My time was earlier, I think. When that came out I was over thirty = dead in pop-culture years.

i was 27, and a fan of SNL at that time, although it was soon after that they started to go to shit...
the first movie was great, the second not so much, which is the case in about 90% of movies with sequels...

This is what paranoia and knee jerk reactions get you...legitimate research balloons shot down because of stupid paranoia...
god damn, we're like a world full of five year olds most of the time.

If this is true then why wouldn't China pickup the phone and let the countries affected know?
