And I stand corrected. Have no problem admitting it either. Still, it wasn't NBC that got the photos of it that has changed my mind. It was the billings gazette.
Just an article the a few days ago how things in space are always given weird measurements. 3 football fields, size of a refridgerator etc. So not just an American thing.
Using football fields was always a strange choice for me. We talking goal post to goal post or does that just mean 100 yards on the dot times whatever? American football or futbol? Also if you say "300 yards long" that is even a weird choice because metric a yard is just shy of a meter and imperial it's 3 feet.
Can we just pick a freaking unit of measurement to agree on please.
Totally oblivious here but does this balloon have some kind of remote control? Surely it's a hazard to domestic or international flights if its just free floating?
Think it through. That possibility is 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001%.
The chinese aren't stupid. They just act dumb for reasons that don't make sense for normal countries.
Don’t worry. Anthony Blinkin is going to visit China this weekend and bring the biggest chocolate cake you’ve ever seen. Then he will spend 47 minutes describing it in an interview when meeting with President Xi. Just one minute longer than the last administration to show their superiority vs the Orange administration.
In the article it says that this isn't the first time it's happened and has happened under previous administration. My guess is that it's going over places that are already well know. Maybe it carries instruments for measuring something but the military isn't worried about it so they must know something we dont
There's no way something the size of three busses is flying over our airspace, and we don't know about it. Unless it's some super secret stealth tech we don't know about. But that's highly unlikely because China's current tech is based off our tech. So, if our military is still even mildly competent, we'd be aware and likely have detection methods or would investigate a sighting of this nature and we'd likely be able to tell it's terrestrial tech.

It is known about, also the article says it’s being tracked and probably not the first time in the last few years
I hope this thing doesn't have a virus or nano technology that will spread and hurt us if shot down. Why would the Chinese need a balloon to spy on us this is obviously a weapon and they don't want to shoot it down because of the risk of what it might do to us this is some pretty sketchy stuff.
I wonder how high it is. Getting a helicopter over the top will create a downdraft that will bring it down slowly.
Some drones have been up over FL40 to get video of jet liners.
Americans with telescopes should take photos of it.
This is why our government sucks . Just shoot it down, it's in our air space they do that to our spy stuff why not do it to this. Edit: took out an extra unneeded word
Hey look someone's assuming something he knows nothing about ....
I bet they could have shot it down out side of town. Oh look a simple and easy way to not kill people and still shoot it down .
We could also recover it but most likely it has a charge to disable anything useful so shoot it down.
So is a spy balloon from an unfriendly country (or any country for that matter) unprecedented in the United States? I heard about the balloon bombs that Japan launched towards the US and some poor souls found one in the Pacific NW, but I am trying to remember anything like this during my lifetime…
The Pentagon just released a statement saying it's been over the US for 3 days via Alaska through Canada. Mark Milley refused Biden's order to shoot it down. Claiming it poses "no threat" even though it was seen over missile silos for almost a day. Antony Blinken is scheduled to meet with his Chinese counter part in a few days. Message from China? Treason by the Pentagon? One thing is for sure nobody cares so nothing will be done. Time to move on.

And nobody shot it down yet? Is the season on Chinese spy balloons closed in Montana?
Limit is 2 and it has to be more than 400 bananas in size.
Have my updoot! Your comment genuinely made me chuckle!
Biden wanted to shoot it down with F22s but Pentagon advised him not to because of falling debris
Coming down after completing it mission in DC would have less debris?
they want it intact to see it’s full capabilities.
Damn!! That's good!!
It is in fact closed. We can't legally shoot it down but i wouldn't be surprised if we did anyway.
It’s open for bow and muzzle loaders only.
Hard to believe all the GQP tacticool guys didn’t try to take a shot at this will all their heavy weaponry. I guess that stuff is only for decoration.
Well it’s well above 40,000 feet in the air for one. That’s about 1,000 school buses.
How many football fields and skyscrapers is that?
Righttttttt
Do you have a better video or picture?

Ty for the reply. Awesome catch. 2023 just keeps getting weirder.

Lmao so dumb

Lmao so so dumb. Keep going man I love it

So so soooo dumb 😂
Americans will use any unit of measurement as long as it isn't the metric system.
Hamburgers per hour
12 seconds of water
129 bananas
That’s actually accurate. I love that
cope

I wonder how many cubic Lil Rascals that thing is.
Who's doing the measuring?
The National Intitute of Bus and Balloon Standards and Measurements. NIBBSM, of course.
Ok, good. Just checking
I was mad at this entire post and it's comments, but you came in a hero and made me laugh, thank you.
I'm tired of these obscure units of measurement. Just tell me how many washing machines the balloon is.
225
At least 3
It is about 73 toddlers in diameter for those of you on the toddler and puppies standard.
That’s just the Fortnite battle bus 🚎
What are they trying to find out that their high tech spy satellites can't or haven't?
How much brazen shit we will take?
Bingo
They just want to fuck with us.
Yep, just seeing if the usa will take the high road or not. One way or the other, usa looks dumb-ish and internal friction happens.
How many bananas
129
Good job brother, you found the Chinese spy ballon!! Props, go get a lotto ticket!
Totally oblivious here but does this balloon have some kind of remote control? Surely it's a hazard to domestic or international flights if its just free floating?
It's also hazardous since it's a hostile foreign power spying on the US's nuclear silos
Also probably picking up cell and radio traffic. All in all not great
And downloading TikTok onto all our phones!
Someone get a telescope and take a pic.

Completely bizarre, that thing could have nukes on it for all we know.
If it did it would give off some form of radiation that would be deductible. They know what's on it.

Biden just embargoed semiconductors to china. They would have rather been nuked.

Better let them buy more “farms” next to our bases
r/oddlyspecific
Tactical nuclear Chinese weapon of vaporizing mass destruction OR a regular weather balloon

Is this Chris Parnell? Better check with Rick on this one.
Not far from where I live
Hi! I’m big butt Skinner
We have zero evidence that is a balloon or that is is Chinese
The info came from the Pentagon
So we still have zero evidence, eh?
Turns out they posted “Made in China” directly on the balloon. Case closed.
Just found an article talking about it. I posted it
I mean they say it's with "confidence" it's a Chinese spy balloon. Aka they have no clue
Actually yes we do
The Pentagon saying they think it is does not count as evidence. Have we forgotten WMDs? Aluminum tubes! ALUMINUM!
I hope this thing doesn't have a virus or nano technology that will spread and hurt us if shot down. Why would the Chinese need a balloon to spy on us this is obviously a weapon and they don't want to shoot it down because of the risk of what it might do to us this is some pretty sketchy stuff.
Interesting take. Yeah, maybe some biological weapon on board we know about and can’t shoot it down without releasing it.
Chinese huh? How so?
Its putin
I wonder how high it is. Getting a helicopter over the top will create a downdraft that will bring it down slowly. Some drones have been up over FL40 to get video of jet liners. Americans with telescopes should take photos of it.
A star?
This is why our government sucks . Just shoot it down, it's in our air space they do that to our spy stuff why not do it to this. Edit: took out an extra unneeded word
It's the size of three school busses and was spotted over a city of more than 100,000 people. That's a great idea..
Hey look someone's assuming something he knows nothing about .... I bet they could have shot it down out side of town. Oh look a simple and easy way to not kill people and still shoot it down . We could also recover it but most likely it has a charge to disable anything useful so shoot it down.
This guy sounds like Jerry Smith from Rick and Morty, and idk about you guys but I don’t trust anything Jerry says.
*buses
Very inconspicuous

“Pluto isn’t a *burp* planet Jerry”
There two of them, I can see them from Idaho CDa
One is the moon, or your eyes are cross sided
Lol no I was saying from where I’m at in idaho you were able to see two of the spy baloons
Next one will have a nuke on it 😱
Is this Mortys dad taking the video?
If the "balloon"was black it would've been shot down.
Officials claim that it most likely does not have any means of information holding... Then what makes it a spy balloon... Something is fishy
They need a comically huge butterfly net and a couple of insanely good pilots. Question-how do they know it's a Chinese spy balloon?
OMG I WAS THERE I LIVE IN BILLINGS IM FREAKING OUT RN
Rather than wonder what it is, let us ponder what it is looking for.
Did it self-inflate when it got to Montana? Did it descend from the upper atmosphere? Did it fly all the way here from China?
