“You can hear the audio of the interception here.”
Panicked voice...”Bandit at 12 o’clock high!!”
The Navy should cut up the balloon and sell pieces over the internet to the public.
The explanation.
The entire US government is a vassal state of the CCP.
“It’s a huge manatee.”
Pardon me, my very good and very long respected friend, but I don't believe that's exactly correct. I certainly understand your frustration. And yes, there are major issues, growing by the day, but the entire US government is not subservient to the CCP. Nor will it ever be. Please support the good, and help excise the bad, as there is a battle going on. Thanks.
The good? You mean the millions of affirmative action bureaucratic parasites?
“The entire US government is a vassal state of the CCP.”
Check the hyperbole.
Yes, there are many good people in the federal government. They may not be in leadership positions today, but many are there, doing good work.
Are you saying while Trump was a federal employee, he was the only single federal worker who was worthwhile? And when he left, not one was left?
Sorry to speak in such unequivocal terms, but that was your original statement. Thanks.
Just about every agency of the feral government is unconstitutional.
So we got a bunch of balloon fabric. What about the payload, the important thing?
“six miles off the coast of Myrtle Beach, SC in less than 50-feet of water.”
***********************************************
Wow 6 miles out and it’s still only 50 feet deep? Well that should make recovery relatively easy then.
A completely different argument, I'm not going to dispute. Carry on, my great friend, who I highly respect.
“What a bunch of wussy bullcrap,”
I would say -
“Millions of dollars to do a shabby-ass job, take too long to do it, a job I could do myself from A to Z with my Piper, a shotgun, my SCUBA gear,”
I would say, were I not a TRUE PATRIOT,
Were I not so deeply in awe of our military prowess.
Here’s to the ENTIRE F’N UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.
I hope they did not offend anyone in this bold, multi-branch endeavor.
HEROES, ALL!
As a War President, Biden has really shown he’s got what it takes!
And we really did a wonderful, noble thing showing that our State Dept is spooked by a balloon.
(it took the United States Armed Forces and intelligence services a week to pop and collect that very very big, very important, big, big balloon!)
BRAVO HEROES!
We got the most important thing, the technology for making a helium balloon.

While reading this account I kept having flashes of the “War Room” scenes from “Dr. Strangelove”.
“So we got a bunch of balloon fabric.”
Hang on to it in case a UFO crashes.
