Just watch. In a few days they are going to claim it was an EMP and this administration just saved us from an EMP “event”. Yay Biden administration! Our heroes!

We don’t believe in going on a mission
totally blindfolded, Mr. Jones.
The film came out of a camera mounted in a Russian satellite.
- Did it belong to Russia?
That’s a delicate point.
It was our camera. We developed it. It’s not bad engineering. Took three years to develop, round-the-clock work. Can’t be duplicated for two years. Certain processes in grinding lenses. It’s an incredible piece of machinery.
It’s got a focal length of... It can photograph a packet of cigarettes from 300 miles up in space on a tiny negative capable of infinite enlargement.
You see, your American lads, you came up with a new film emulsion very hush-hush, but 100 times more sensitive than anything previously available.
And the negative is miraculously developed within the satellite itself. You put our film in your camera and you had a hell of a box Brownie. No, the Russians had. We lent it to you fellows, and you lost it.
- Lost it?
- Hijacked in broad daylight.
Dismantled, smuggled into Havana and then the Russians put our camera, made by our German scientists and your film, made by your German scientists into their satellite, made by their German scientists. Thus, up it went, round and round, whizzing over the U.S. Seven times a day.
- Photographing missile bases.
- Within 48 hours, they had pictures of every missile base in North America. Every time our camera took a picture, another one took a fix on the stars. They could just check their coordinates to aim missiles at all our launching pads.
If they had the film. The irony is that it’s still here at Zebra.
Somewhere.
- And this is not the way to find it.
- How did it get here?
- The Russians ran into a little trouble.
- That’s encouraging.
Initially academic, or so it seemed. The satellite was orbiting over North America, western Russia and Siberia but that darling little camera went right on taking pictures when it wasn’t supposed to.
- Beautiful pictures.
- Of Russian installations.
Which makes that piece of film the most dangerous and desirable bit of information in the world.

Could be. Boggs and Begich have been wandering among the ice floes for half a century. About time someone picked them up.

Maybe the Chinese sent over a real weather balloon and will now claim it was just like the earlier one that was shot down over the Atlantic.

The fallback position is that it came from Russia.

With this administration, how do we know they didn’t just set this up exactly one week after the last balloon catastrophe just to make our houseplant president look like a tough guy?

Much smaller, flying much lower, no manuverability.

It had “Happy Birthday!” message written on it.
The pentagon is working to recover the wreckage.

More distraction from Twitter files/congressional hearings/laptop heat and a Uke quagmire quickly bound for the nether regions of hell.
