#NBCNews #Chinese #Balloon
Balloons don't "hover". Winds aloft are 60+ mph. In 24 hours it should travel 1440 miles to the east. They're blowing smoke and lying out their butt holes.
They only acknowledged it because civilians saw it lol
TRUE
It’s a lie
Incredible...
Yes, they were probably 99% sure it would not be detected !
Montana is mostly federal land and most all of Montana is empty cattle range, their excuse of a debris field is not legitimate. If china wanted to spy it could easily use one of it's many satellites that can read serial numbers on a penny in the Mariana trench
Regardless of what anyone stated, the balloon should never have arrived in the country. What method was used for the balloon's undetected entry into America?
I seen this in my state just had no clue what it was..There is a lot going on we
Don’t know as always.
Are they guessing it's a spy balloon? It would be a great way to deliver something harmful.
Exactly what i was thinking dropping chemical or biological things over us or maybe haccing or emp things etc...
They won't shoot it down bc of the "payload"
Itd be awesome if they were lying and it was a ufo
@@takelasmith406 or worse, an emp
I was thinking the same thing. What could they be releasing into the atmosphere? Scary thought.
"You're not gonna see anymore balloons" *immediately another balloon is found flying over Central America. lol.
Thanks for the interview. Strange though that no one knows anything. How can they find out what is inside of the balloon since it was blown up?
Huh? The balloon was full of gas (that's how balloons work). The equipment hanging underneath is the stuff we want to look into. All that equipment fell into the ocean, and the military recovered the pieces. They can absolutely figure out what that equipment is.
Of course there is gas inside a balloon but I clearly missed the part about something hanging from the balloon. Thanks for the clarification Daniel.
@@Danielson1818 你以为你们政府像让你们看到什么?为什么一定要在看出美国才击落还是在海上?一个热气球还得导弹才击落
They wouldn't tell you even if they know. We only know what they want us to know, and that goes for Covid, 911 and US bombings. They knew about it ALL!!!
It's called testing the waters
Trojan horse
WEATHER BALLOON
It's called a false flag.
Would you not want a spy balloon to be somewhat camouflaged? This one appeared to be easy to see.
I can not walk through airport security without taking the keys out of my pocket, but the government allows an enemy to float a large balloon into US airspace and then travel across the country
Correct.
Poor Filipina stop crying 🤣
Yup!
Some truth to what you are saying, although security measures at airports are sensible ways to shortstop problems with terrorism.
Vote for senile Biden, Biden is going to shoot this balloon in the leg
Why are we allowing a "spy" balloon in our airspace?
Why indeed
Because we forgot how to defend the homeland wandering the planet looking for wars to start, this is how Rome fell.
I’m glad they’re so confident that there’s nothing to worry about.
It’s not like bio-weapons have been delivered with balloons in the past or anything.
Who delivers bio weapons to bumfuck, middle of nowhere Montana, population: 16?!!
Just told my coworker that would be a brilliant delivery of bio warfare. Don't look up, eh?
Perfect delivery for a high altitude nuclear detonation, which would destroy our power grid indefinitely 😡
Exactly!
@@Frankiarmz uh huh.... yeah im sure a balloon big enough to carry a nuclear weapon wouldn’t be a massive target
I like how everyone forgot about this all of a sudden and never mentioned it again.
Imagine your flat mate put a spy cam in your room then gaslight “it’s just a decoration, you’re over reacting”
The administration just gave the balloon citizenship, a bridge card, voter registration and a hotel room.
Haha love it.
This could just barely pass as non-satire.
_Whyyyyy_
LMAO
My guess is your from MI...calling it a bridge card and not food stamps
What it needs is hot air...you seem to qualify as a source for supply.
🤣
It’s not what’s in the balloon. The fact that they flying over U.S territory carelessly scares me
It’s a lie
Nah its definitely whats in the balloon. Idk how to break it to you, but chinese aircraft have been flying over the U.S for decades
Leaning towards it’s payoff having more to do with observing how we react to it.
More Chinese chess than Chinese checkers.
It's over Montana...
@@davidmorris5555 A mirage? Pretty...... Lunar New Year Spy Balloon?
Exactly it's to see how we react.
*Every night I look up and say, "Goodnight stars. Goodnight moon. Goodnight Chinese spy balloon."*
They are trying to see how will The United States react... something bigger is coming
might be that bowel movement you been waiting for
I unfortunately think you're correct
@@shaystern2453 omg I was gonna say that!
-and soon, I'm guessing.
@@Hylianmonkeys no you weren’t
Biden out for a night walk: “Oh would you look at that beautiful moon!”
It could have been testing the air defenses throughout our air spac. Gathering information of vulnerable or less defended routes could be a possibility. Our defense needs to check all possibilities.
No doubt...aliens!🤪
What scares me is how scared USA is of a 🎈
So, they know it’s not a danger, way up in the air, but I have to take my shoes off at the airport.
Mind Begs the Question:
Chinese Spying,TikTok - not Ok
Israeli Spying,Pegasus - Ok?
No they don't know it's not dangerous !!!
You made a good point I agree
We are now living in a national security state. The CIA controls the media and the government. Brennan is a psychopath liar. Don’t believe a word he says.
The Chinese could possibly be studying our infrastructure and how and where to attack it - especially our power grids/ stations.
It looks more like an advertisement balloon that got cut off from the corner rooftop of the grocery store and floated away
"The one thing you aren't going to see are anymore balloons..." There is now a second balloon flying over Latin America. Way to call that!
Nothing is being said about it!!
There's a balloon in Canada too, locals saw it, or is it the same balloon? 😲
It reminds me of the movie Independence Day and the guy says "Checkmate" because the ships were lining up, for something big.
@@tessietesoro7407 Yes the one over Canada is the same one passing over the United States…
the one over latin america must of started on the same air stream as the other presumably its already travelled and cleared the US and was in fact the first of the two?
I just want know why our government hasn’t knocked it into oblivion 😡
Joe is weak and afraid.
C'mon man
You know it's a 3 bus load that Corn Popp ordered
Our president is a little on the slow side!
This was a test of the element of surprise
I think it was the most responsible move to shoot it down over water, in case it contained some kind of toxic substance. It WAS weird to see that some dark gas came out of the balloon.
So its ok the traverse through the middle of the country collecting up to date high res images and electro and radio signals from highly sensitive military bases and nuclear missle silos. But a bit of gas you are scared off? Dude the information that they have gotten now is a far bigger threat than if it fell on someone or let out some gas
What about the whales😡
@@aea8753 no, of course not. None of it's ok. But what is the alternative?
What wld you have done? I wasnt just talking about gases. What if the balloon had contained anthrax or a chemical agent?
Why do people just glom on to one part of a statement? 🤔
@@bobhope4949 Yes, the whales! :( I do love them so! But what are the choices?
So if no civilians caught this on their smartphones would they have told us? 🤔
Doubt it
Remember when they fired the two Hypersonic missiles and new nobody knew about it?
I don't think that's UFOs we're seeing. Probably high altitude china military drones?
Could be passing that info to Russia?
This happens all the time of course they don’t wanna tell you. We’ve got the CIA they operate everyday across the world in various countries and we accept that as fine.
Don’t you think the Chinese have their own spies and why are you surprised they are in the USA. It happens.
We the people will never know
They should have gotten the spy balloon intact to make sure what
it was all about.
The balloon went through Canadian air space. There was no response by the Canadian armed forces and no response from the Canadian Government. I'd be asking some questions about our allies in the north.
US should send a Macy's Day Balloon that looks like Xi Jinping, dressed as Winnie the Pooh, holding a camera over China 📷
hahahaha
Brilliant. Send them Barney the purple dinosaur
🤣
How did our government allow this to get over the United States
because it was launched from the us by chinese here
Shooting down the balloon was the right thing to do even if it was a weather balloon. It had no business being in US airspace for several days without the Chinese alerting the US
Anyone else find it odd that this shows up shortly after the FAA had to ground all flights for the first time since 9/11 due to a suspected hacking? No? Just me? Ok
Nope. I noticed too and called BS on it.
Aw man. Don't connect _those_ dots... 😣
Billings grounded flights, no in or out. Remained over the missile silos most of Wednesday. It is actually navigable. likely A type of BLIMP.
Just when I thought my confidence in our government couldn't go any lower, here we are.
So you want it blown up ? our military is getting info as well on Chinese electronics and tech from this balloon . could it be that china wants us to blow it up ?
Bet I can mark it lower after they just confirmed a second balloon over Latin America. Anyone over 45 besides me remember Red Dawn movie…. I’m just saying. Wide open border, foreign craft allowed over US with no consequences. Don’t think a bunker can help us at this point. Maybe Biden has the same deal as the mayor in the movie??
100% agree
Biden still has a couple years. It'll go lower I'm sure.
Facts… US leadership is inept.
I can’t believe they think we want to hear anything from Brennan.
I think they could've found a way to attach it to a fishing pole or something and reeled it in. Or shot a detector to see what was is the balloon as it shot through.
This administration is a joke.🤷🏾♂️
Cope leave the USA then
Trump wouldn't let this happen...
@@fredgervinm.p.3315 LOL Trump is sleeping with China. He probably would welcome them with open arms and his back area open. What are you babbling about?
and so are the worthless people that voted him in office...he didnt do it on his own!
@@topkek4223 Isn’t that what the libs always threaten?
Love how he dodges the fact of how long we've known about this Ballon
The fact that it got so close to sensitive military sites over Montana means it wasn't discovered until late despite what the media says
To be fair he is retired so he isn’t getting security briefings.
Trudeau hasn't commented much here but I'm aware he has also denied allowance to take it down when it was floating over here heading to united states
Do you realize how big that thing is I'm sure they will watch it fall at some point after it gets the clearance to watch it fall to ground
@@dannypomeroy9255 I`ve got clearance to watch it. Hopefully I`ll get the clearance to watch it fall to the ground soon.
General Douglas MacArthur once praised the gallantry and supreme tactical skills of Filipino soldiers during World War II: “Give me 10,000 Filipino soldiers and I will conquer the world.”
Track what information it obtained and where the information was reporting to
Hey, yeah, John Brennan has never lied to us!
This is what happens when our administration are full of cowardice.
Baloney.
Just look at how much money the Chinese government has given to the biden family and you'll realize china owns biden.
So if we shoot it down, you'd be screaming about how careless and dangerous this Administration is, 🙄.
Have a seat.
@@zbaby82 he’s right. Trump collets that fukin balloon then destroys it.
In bed with china

Where are we not jamming the uplink on this thing?
They can refuel a jet, they can snag a balloon... No need to shoot at it.
But if they shot it down couldn’t continue to release Wouhan Labs latest greatest release to test on the population. Remember China has to pay the BIG GUY.
I AGREE WITH YOU
@@carolynserrano4079, Exactly, bring it down to earth and go through it with a fine tooth comb. Shooting it down would be stupid.
The China ballon is too slow - it can not be lasso-ed from an airplane.
Mind Begs the Question:

Israeli Spying,Pegasus - Ok?
That former CIA director just said we don't know what their motivation is? What planet is he on?
This is a actor, real Brennan executed at Gitmo long ago.
Soo our Marines Navy and Army just let this happen
All the multi trillions spent in defense, and they have no clue what to do with a balloon
he probaly vote for biden and he is lost like him
@Mykel Myerz Beats At the direction of your wonderful president!
…… And I don’t even want to get into the social ramifications of why they would release such a balloon to see how we react.
If you are invested in PRC, then you surely will cool down the nerves. If you are decoupling you will cool it down as well until you cut it off.
Well, PRC seem to be a bully.
How is it not intentionality when the balloon pops up out of nowhere above US missile silos?
They don't need a balloon. They have tiktok.
They have that for other surveillance. But to get closer visual images of exact locations of nuclear sites then it would make more sense.
Borders wide open. Million Chinese agents already walked in
At least it wasn't a huge out of control satellite that was potentially going to come through one of our roof's.
So basically, you brought him on so he could sell his book 😂
Wow! A whole story about a balloon that could have been shot down days ago!
What if it is bioweapons were do you shoot that down? I am not buying it the Chinese have satellites to spy with.
I like how everyone suddenly becomes a self proclaimed expert about how to handle a flying object they know absolutely nothing about.. Sure just shoot it down without even knowing what the balloon is made of or what's inside of it.. Meanwhile you're lucky you can fly a kite in your neighborhood without a causing a dangerous mishap..
But what's in it 🎁😷😵🌀
Shoot it down and possibly spread a bio weapon like candy from a piñata? It’s a hypothetical problem I’m suggesting, but the point is that you have to know what exactly it is that you’re shooting down….
Remember, there is no “civilian” balloon in China, everything is run by the CCP and military forces
What’s inside is what is concerning. What if we shoot it down and it releases something we don’t want??
So it’s been a while…. We can’t call China and ask WTF this is? ????
Well Biden is Chinas pet so...
Oh yaaa like they'd tell us exactly what it is and the intent. The U.S gov. Is allowing it to happen anyways, its all apart of the agenda. Wake up already buddy
We've already contacted China about it. They claim it's a civilian use weather balloon and that they're sorry that it deviated off course and into U.S airpspace. But the weird part about that is why or how would a weather balloon stay in one small general area for 3 days? Weather balloons don't have navigation systems so I'm not exactly buying that response
The answer is Air like in the heads of those who saw danger.
It just fills in the GPS info they didn't get from Pokemon go. Polar winds shift, America panics, China laughs.
This is why we need a strong administration!
Americans people need president Trump back
@@HongLe-ie5go Yeah life is going great for that dolt
You mean a dude with dementia and a woman who can't complete a sentence without bursting into uncomfortable laughter aren't taken seriously by our enemies?!
Trump would just whine that it's a Chynah balloon filled with bats.
@@HongLe-ie5go Won't happen.
How in the world did it make it that far under our noses!!!!!!!
Montana guy with camera 🤳 is better than pentagon
Exactly, it was a civilian looking out his office building that noticed this balloon. Guess our radars, satellites, airforce and spaceforce are a joke.
It should have been shot down as soon as it was over a densely populated area of Alaska.

@@toriaeverheart4291 VIRUSES?!?!?!
Believe the balloon belongs to Russia & the China is covering for Russia that would explain the quick strange response, etc. & of course China needs oil & gas from Russia. If this is all true looking for some kind of attack by Russia in the near future because of all the military hardware going to Ukraine by the USA. Richard Haas, president of the Council of Foreign Relations made some important points.
China out smarting the U.S. in tech stealth as usual. So China downloading all the intelligence gathered from the balloon to there hard drives , while
looking for a weakness somewhere , to where they can attack in the near future?
This is the fourth balloon. The first three overflew CONUS and Alaska during the previous administration. It was included in the PDBs, that were never read.
The balloon was under intelligent control, but telemetry doesn’t take that much data. High resolution imaging does and that would be stored locally and collected at time of retrieval. Somewhere along the balloons final course would have been a boat that was going to retrieve it. Now the data is either sitting with the wreckage off the Carolina coast or it’s already on its way in a small, self guided submersible. Now let’s see what this guy says.
It dropped something just before it got hit..
@@christopherleubner6633 It sharted..quite understandable^^
There has been 7 according to the spokesman.

No, they did not, that is a lie The Biden regime is spreading.
No Balloons flew over the U. S. When Trump was in office.
People did not look up and report any Balloons until this one occured.
China would not have the balls to do it while Trump was in office.
Your being lied to and are spreading those lies.
Will our government really tell us, the citizenry?
Isn't it a Valentines balloon from Fang to Eric Swalwell?? 🤣🤣
The fabric has fine wire mesh inside which works as an antenna & hidden cameras.iv seen this over the UK .
The Air Force should've shut down that balloon the second it entered the US airspace, not after it crossed that many states and transmitted the data it collected to the Chinese military.
Why didn't we just 'tether' the balloon?...ya know, like sticky frog tongue connection, and drag it down for consumption...
We had our pants down when Japan attacked us. They even had an ambassador visiting at the very time of the attack. DONT SECOND GUESS THE CHINESE‼️
If that’s the game they wanna play they can but the end of the Pearl Harbor story is Japan LOST! this is a classic “f around find out” I’m not saying bring it on, but they asking for it!
THAT'S BECAUSE RADAR WAS NEW THING WITH LIMITED RANGE DURING THOSE TIMES
TODAY THESE BALLONS WOULD BEEN PICKED UP ON RADAR LONG BEFORE IT ARRIVED IN US SOIL
THE QUESTION IS WHY DID THEY JUST LET IT KEEP GOING?
Japan was super bombed after Pearl Harbor, China might think it can hang in the ring, but we have surprises for them that they wish not to be revealed.
Exactly!!!
Exactly, the Trojan horse is in play, China doesn't want to lower the temperature, they want their money back.

"What's inside China's spy balloon?" Helium?
More of bidens stolen classified documents. Xi jinping is just using the balloon to return them to slow Joe.
A little china'man peddling his heart away just to stay afloat.
Lol…
IMHO seems China would be a bit more "spy like" in their intelligence gathering-
I think it is being handled correctly, not in a knee jerk
reactionary type dip s#it way and blasting it out of the sky,
w/o conducting our own investigation & doing our own intelligence gathering to come up with a common sense plan.
I believe China is much more sophisticated in gathering intelligence. I Honestly have my doubts they would float an obvious stratospheric bright white Ballon the size of 3 buses in 2023.
China Joe's other classified documents!
Never Under estimate the Enemy nor the Element of Surprize!
Doesn't make sense. If they have been tracking for days why didn't they shoot it when it was on desolate space of Alaska or Canada why did they wait until it got to the crowded city of Montana before scrambling jets??

THEY ALREADY DID. TRYE NICHOLS
In the 1989 “Batman” film, Joker filled his balloon with deadly gas. Luckily, Batman had a Batplane with a big pliers and cutting tool. We have had 30 years to build this capacity into the F-22 or F-35. Clear failure of imagination.
I was thinking of that movie when I first heard of this. Look that ballon could be delivering deadly biological weapons through aerosols. We study this stuff in the military. I wouldn't just be letting this thing floating around America. Biden is so weak!!!
Right snag it and take it back to China
F-22s and F-35s can’t fly 12 to 15 miles up in the stratosphere.
Where the frigg is batman right now
What, you don’t recall when Trump bragged in 2020 that he had a "super-duper missile" under development? Clearly you're not up to speed on the Burton JK-3R anti-aerostat precision-guided munition recently introduced by renowned defense contractor Wayne-Powers. 🙃
Levity aside, the jet fighters of today operate at much faster speeds than WW2-era German fighter/bombers with cable fenders (just as a prior example of aerial cable-cutting technology). Assuming that the F-22 _did_ have wing-edge cutters, which would impede its supersonic aerodynamic performance (and increase its radar profile), it's easy to imagine the fighter’s wing being sheared off while trying to cut a cable at jet-turbine-driven velocity. Granted, the F-22 can slow down, but that's intended for landing approaches and airshow fly-bys; trying that in the rarefied air at 60K feet (where the Chinese balloon has been spotted) would reduce aircraft stability and increase the risk of a stall.
Also, Canada lost control of a stratospheric weather balloon (reportedly 275 ft high vs. Chinese balloon’s 80-120 ft., depending on how many bus-lengths you go by) in 1998 and the Chrétien administration was worried it might drift into Russian airspace (it eventually landed near Mariehamn). Jet fighters from multiple NATO member states, plus Sweden, fired their cannons and rockets at the balloon, yet they failed to down it. Imagine all those thousands of wasted 20-30mm rounds, plus ejected casings and linkages (although, the F-22’s M61 Gatling might return those bits to the ammo drum), raining downward. 😬
RUclipsr: "What happens if you fly an egg through space using a giant balloon"
It's kind of funny how they waited till it got over the Atlantic Ocean so they couldn't retrieve the objects on board.
Whatever Brennan says…… believe the exact opposite😂😂😂.
