Ya, about that -- The Pentagon was saying something about how it was a signals source, so I'm thinking but I'm also thinking release.

The docs said something about Ukraine running out of ammo by end of March and here it is April with that recent report of Ukraine downing 70 odd enemy attacks in 4 areas.

We're expected to believe that Ukraine is some kind of moneypit to give up on, IMHO.

Seems to me that he whole thing is unnecessarily complicated.

What's the point in waiting for another actual balloon when all's needed is for someone to point at the sky and shriek, "Look! Another balloon!"

Just segmented DAPI-stained nuclei using deep learning, what an overkill - feels like popping a balloon with fighter jets! Wait, did we just do that? 🤯

Where is this above the "Central Continental U.S."? An oxbow is in the near background, as is a street grid and some farmland.

According to China, the balloon doesn't belong to them & it couldn't collect useful data but they want it back.

I didn't expect Nena's 1980s hit "99 Luftballons" to turn out to be a prophecy...

@aljazeera Is there another reason for the Chinese to launch a balloon over the U.S. besides intel? Weather seems unlikely.

Any more sightings lately? We seem to be a lull... I'm not the type to ascribe 7-d chess to anyone, but the People's Liberation Army Army Air Force (PLAAF) or the CCP or whomever seem have been caught flat-footed. A bizarre episode all around.

There's no conspiracy that only Scientologists have secret knowledge about, but there is a bacterial growth spawning itself in America known as MAGA, and it's spreading like the COVID they think they're better than, while rakes in more dough.

I have a receiver, which got the transponder signal off of one of those fighters that's been flying overhead on landing approach to Moffett Field (KNUQ).

It's a Northrop F-5E Tiger II

It's registered to this defense contractor:

They look like they're equipped with wingtip air-to-air missiles.

The TV news reports that the US has shot down 3 more objects like the , but not around here.

Funny how all those talking about the invasion of our airspace don't talk much about the invasion of our elections in 2016 and afterwards.

These stories of Chinese balloons, they’re being blown up out of all proportion.
