Brandon’s advisors are afraid the debris will fall and hit somebody. Yeah, in the remote wilds of Montana.
Let me ask you this; What if that balloon is filled with biological agent you pop iT goes down and spreads? What if it’s filled with the chemical weapon?
tik. tok.
“..Some good old boys and a P-Baron with a 30.06....”
Surprised it hasn’t happened already.
An 06, .338 Lapua or .50BMG....someone’s gonna take a shot eventually.

It says the video is restricted.
Anyone know how high it is? And if it’s using H2 or He for lift. Be a shame if former caught fire.
Making an express delivery of Fentanyl to Delaware or Martha’s Vineyard. Now our airspace is just as secure as our southern border. Will border agents be expected to provide water bottles and bus tickets to the passengers when they land?
dart it....
F Troop: “IT IS BALLOON!”
Now that they announced what it is, maybe a cowboy will shoot it down
Just ram it or shoot it down—the woke military is a sick joke.
Doesn’t such a balloon hang out at 60,000 feet or so?
There were some claims that the Japanese WWII balloons were for biological warfare but .gov kept it secret.
“What if it’s filled with the chemical weapon?”
Well the geniuses in the Pentagon can shoot it down over the sparse West or wait until it hovers over a populated area.
Shoot it down—now.
Joe must be getting 10% for it to be there
That fact was kept secret to prevent panic. In total, about 9,300 balloons were launched, of which about 300 were discovered in North America. On May 5, 1945, six civilians were killed near Bly, Oregon, when they discovered one of the balloon bombs in Fremont National Forest, becoming the only fatalities from enemy action in the continental U.S. during the war.
The most tactically successful attack took place on March 10, 1945, when one of the balloons descended near Toppenish, Washington, and caused a short circuit in power lines supplying the Manhattan Project's production facility at the Hanford Engineer Works. Backup devices quickly restored power at the site, but it took three days for its nuclear reactors to be brought to full capacity; plutonium produced in the reactors was later used in Fat Man, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki in August 1945.
What about over SF, Seattle, Portland, DC, Detroit, NYC, or several other urban cesspools?
That’s why the P-Baron. It gets you half way there. Piper Cub just doesn’t have the ceiling.
