This is a real threat to National security. They are likely testing biological warfare.

Hanging out over Montana where there are US nuclear missle silos. And they are buying up US farmland at an astonishing rate.

it's the size of 3 Metro buses.



DoD is tracking it closely, and they have extensive capabilities for detecting nuclear/biological/chemical agents.

I am not a conspiracist on anything. I do happen to be scientist. And I do think this is not good.

I'm not a fool to believe this was an accident.

Our country is bogged down in crap while I think this is one is a major national security event. That with the huge amount of farmland China has been buying up over the past 2 years. And, hey, we are even banning chinese made tik tok.

Americans can keep fighting over themselves about stupid issues while the enemies slowly move in.

Best not to keep your head in the sand over real sh*t.


You don't sound like a scientist. You DO sound like a conspiracist.

And it certainly isn't a conspiracy when BOTH SIDES are concerned about the farm land buy ups, many next to bases, etc. And the balloon. This isn't a one side thing.


And the tik tok bans!

And that it's civilian research airship that accidently went off course.

It reminds me of the Hunt for Red October, when the Russian ambassador keeps trying to sell new stories about why a Russian submarine is on its way to the US.


I have a few bridges to sell you.

You really are taking CHINA on its word. My god.

Even if turns out to be totally benign, it sure is a hell of a PSYOP move by CCP.

They should ask Trump what to soon every issue.

He seems to be the only one that can run things correctly.

No, it's not "hanging out in spots." It is adrift and moving with the wind currents. Doesn't appear to have any capability to steer

More like southestward. It's spent much of its time adrift over bumfuk nowhere with no intel targets of interest. HYSPLIT model is currently showing it will drift south of DC, toward somewhere south of Virginia Beach. And what kind of nut follows Benny Johnson on Twitter? Dude's a total loon.

They are watching the reaction by our officials. And, they are seeing weakness.

I'm sure the "strongly worded" message sent by the US will cause Xi Jinping to shake in his boots.


+1. Seeing this thing float across the mountains in Montana while doing nothing just tells us again how weak this Administration is.
