Re: Chinese Spy Ballooons & Spies
The day that Putz gives orders to the USA military is the day I lose my stripes.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that an object flying at high-altitude over the Yukon was shot down on his orders on Saturday, even as military officials remained mum on what the object was or where it came from.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Re: Chinese Spy Ballooons & Spies
Here are 3 leaders that have issues with the west:
Xi Jinping
Vladimir Putin
Kim Jong-un
I wouldn’t put it pass these 3 to actually have a pact of understanding/ hidden alliance.

Re: Chinese Spy Ballooons & Spies
Quite possibly you’re correct Gordon, but the “pact” would last until we are on our backs, flippers in the air, waving for help.
Then, they’ll be fighting over the scraps that once was Canada

Just like all the other journalistic content reports, it is for the legacy media to secure a chunk of the yearly $2billion public fund cash, approved by the pmo for the lpc/wef/who/progressive woke globalists/pc/sjw/climate catastrophe propaganda & fear programs.
As with all the created social issues, this story has the smell of creation to boost the regime leader's image, trying to hide his many multicultural dress-up faces and his total failure, leaving a very divided and polarized Canada at the brink of huge civil unrest and over a trillion in the hole.

Why would China keep sending Spy balloons when they already have hot air Trudeau, gathering info from two private jets?

Re: Chinese Spy Ballooons & Spies
China has a developed modern military, much of it derived from stealing information from the west.
The balloons, foreign students and any other means available to them to garner technology to short track their own developments, has been a MO for decades.

Re: Chinese Spy Ballooons & Spies
How the heck is it that these balloons make it as far as they do before
they are reacted to ?
With todays technology they should be able to be tracked right from where they
were launched.
They don't just magically appear out of thin air.

They can't shoot them down while they are still in international airspace.dirtybiker wrote: ↑Feb 12th, 2023, 2:00 pm How the heck is it that these balloons make it as far as they do before

They also need to try and determine what they are first too.

Unidentified Floating Objects
Just thought I'd try to separate out some of the conjecture, speculation and politics, because something is going on right now and it is different to other instances of balloons flying through our airspace.
Points from the latest briefing;
- The U.S. Military lost Radar and Visual Contact of the "Object" over Northern Montana last night until it was reacquired over Lake Michigan earlier this morning and then it was decided around 2pm today to down the "Object" over Lake Huron.
- The Canadian Air Force launched 2 F-18s and 1 C-130 to closely follow the "Object" over the Great Lakes.
- The F-16s that downed the "Object" over Lake Huron were confirmed to be apart of the 115th Fighter Wing launched from Truax Field Air National Guard Base near Madison, Wisconsin (I'll correct an earlier statement I made, it appears this object was shot down on the US side of the Lake, although the NOTAM was big and covered a large area of the Canadian side.)
- The Pentagon has stated that these are considered "Unknown Objects" and not Balloons and they currently do not know how they are staying Airborne.
- Department of Defence says the shot down objects will be investigated by the FBI in the United States as well as the Royal Canadian Mountain Police in Canada to examine the pieces of evidence.
Pentagon says Chinese spy balloon was different than other objects, since U.S. Military knew exactly what it was.
- Pentagon officials, (for some odd reason after the press briefing) “No indication of Aliens or Extraterrestrial Activity" in relation to the “Objects” that have been downed recently over North America. Talk about burying the lede, but it likely does go without saying. (to most people)
None of these objects have been recovered as of yet and there appears to be significant efforts underway to move manpower and equipment into place to effect recovery.
A review of locations over the last three days.

(*not at all representative of where the object was actually shot down, just showing where the NOTAM notification was placed on the map. The actual NOTAM encompassed a much larger area, extending far over into the American side of the lake.)

Re: Unidentified Floating Objects
As I'm sure you know, weather balloons do not stay inflated at 60,000 ft, so that first one was not a regular weather balloon.

Re: Unidentified Floating Objects
Fair enough and yes, but these last three incidents haven't been tied to the first spy balloon incident at all. In fact, the powers that be seem to be carefully separating these latest incidents. (And, I certainly suspect they are separate.) Today's incident is reported to have happened at a height of only 20,000 ft. As I noted on the other thread, China is now in the process of dealing with a floating object over the coastal city of Rizhoa. (I haven't attempted to check back to see if they've shot it down, yet.)
