Take the thing out!

With what?

Weather balloons typically fly at 80k-90k feet in altitude, exceeding the operational altitude of our fighter jets.

One official said the balloon was over Colorado earlier in the day and was expected to be over Georgia by Friday night.

So in other words, too late for Joey to act like a badass. Joey is just a Dumbass!!

“said the balloon was over Colorado earlier in the day and was expected to be over Georgia by Friday night.”

So ... Spying over Oak Ridge National Lab. Again. Lovely.

For the record, according to ADS-B, there are four (4) balloons over the "western US" right now (I *just* screen shotted this at 5 pm eastern). ALL four are US registry.

It sounds like it could be a great opportunity for missile target practice.

Are you trying to say this is not true?

Why is this even a discussion. It should have been dealt with at first contact.

Wish we had Shepard Smith to describe the boy in the balloon.

Or Les Nessman. He did such a bang-up job with the Turkey Drop

In a real country a hotshot cowboy pilot would land on it and bring it down Intact.
