Washington CNN —

CNN Updated 9:38 AM EDT, Mon April 3, 2023

The Chinese spy balloon that transited the US earlier this year was able to capture imagery and collect some signals intelligence from US military sites, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.

The balloon was able to transmit information back to Beijing in real time, the source said, and the US government still does not know for sure whether the Chinese government could wipe the balloon’s data as it received it.

If the Chinese baloon didn’t “gather information” it would be because the Chinese
had already purchased what they needed from Joe “Benedict Arnold” Biden.

Let’s be real....everything about this balloon is Classified at the highest level. Certainly no way all this is outed to the press except to “cover up” a Security Breach.

There was no Chinese spy balloon. It was an FBI balloon spying on US citizens and particularly on Donald Trump paid for by Hillary Clinton. Some people never learn, do they?

Early on the military announced that they'd cut off all comms and security so the Chinese couldn't collect any security data.

So now the CCP knows they can just do a balloon or 5 or 6 flyovers and we'll shut everything down leaving us 100% vulnerable to a real attack?

Smart. Very smart. We'll fool them. ;-)

The Chinese added all of those antennas to make it look cool.

The Chinese spy balloon shot down by a US fighter jet over the Atlantic in February did not collect intelligence as it flew across the United States, the Pentagon said on Thursday."

When we hear this type of BS from our institutions, it again confirms why they cannot be trusted. Is there anywhere the CCP hasn't infiltrated?

WHEW. I was a bit worried that a Chinese balloon with a payload powered by solar panels might be for spying on us as Biden and Trudeau let it float over North America.

Wait... How can we trust a pentagon spokesperson without knowing their pronouns???

Nah, they just floated the balloon for the hell of it.

Just like evidence of vote fraud didn't change the election outcome. Demonrats cheat for the hell of it. Ever since Gore lost to Bush by an implausible 537 votes out of 105 million cast, now the worms in the woodwork make sure those extra 537 votes always go the other way.

Right. “Balloon” didn’t gather any data. “Payload” it carried slung underneath did all that.
