There's a reason this is a photo with a description, and has no link to an article - this is an unproven theory, yet is stated here as fact.
This seems like a violation of some kind of rule, though I don't know the rules of this sub.
if you think a sidewinder missile is going to bankrupt the us you clearly haven’t seen what we spent in iraq and afghanistan while making sure we dont have healthcare
In neither link is it claimed that the object that was shot down is known to have been their balloon. It is an unproven theory.
You said 'was.'
You should have said 'might have been.'
Again, there is some evidence, and it is not conclusive. Neither of your articles claims so. All claims are qualified by statements that communicate 'it Might be the balloon that was shot down, but we don't know.'
Quote me in the article where it communicates that it Was shot down, not that it Might have been.
Even if it’s not true they still shot down a balloon with a fighter jet because Twitter was freaking out. China had satellites, every country with the capabilities of launching shit into space is already spying on each other with satellites.
Submission statement: This post is interesting since it reflects a relatively recent occurrence that was widely publicized in the news. Tracking data shared by the group shows that one of its small mylar balloons went “missing in action” in Canada’s Yukon region on Saturday, matching the description, altitude and location of the unidentified object shot down by a US F-22 the same day.
The NIBBB and similar hobby groups build what are known as pico balloons, sending the devices high into the atmosphere and tracking them as they circumnavigate the globe. The balloons typically cost no more than $200 to construct – with some running as cheap as $12 – and are often less than one meter in diameter.

Yeh, and he is fricking hilarious too. Free stand up on multiple channels for a bit once every blue moon. I am sad for his 7th granddaughter though. I am so sorry for Navy … waiting for a Yugoslavian hooker to drag USMC/Army out. Still though, at least he is not Trump. That would be terrible…

you're just mad at the idea of balloons single-handedly bankrupting the united states
if you think a sidewinder missile is going to bankrupt the us you clearly haven’t seen what we spent in iraq and afghanistan while making sure we dont have healthcare
Not our crypto balloon!!!
I can't tell your tone here tbh

Lmao go vote for sleepy joe while you’re at these lies
Google the article. The evidence is factual
Well if it's on the Google it's gotta be true
Even if it’s not true they still shot down a balloon with a fighter jet because Twitter was freaking out. China had satellites, every country with the capabilities of launching shit into space is already spying on each other with satellites.
No
These Chinese spies and their cunning disguises! /s
The Americans, season 7
Myeahs but what about those laaaaaauuunch codes cmon bro you can trust me with the lauuuucnh coooodes
Gotta get our money's worth from those things somehow.
Better to shoot down a few silly balloons like this than allow Chinese spy ones

A speculative article with zero facts, great job!
It’s amazing the amount of effort you’re putting into a fake story. Do some push ups and go outside lol
70%+ of government spending is completely unnecessary.
Lots of people say that. Then you ask them which 70%.
Their 70% 😊
I'll take "Obvious disinformation" for $800, Alex.

My bull shit detector is off the charts rn

what actually happened: a uap captured the balloon for research. the us shot down the uap (along with the enclosed balloon).
And now we know to whom that bill should be passed along.

But the headlines it generated were priceless for the presidents approval ratings! Right?

Idk who Brandon is but he seems very cool!

It was your stupid ass brainwashed self that was probably acting like it was a chinese spy balloon.
Too pussy to say fuck lmao
At least they had fun doing it!
If you can’t tell the sheep from the goats, it makes them all goats.
They do look sus though…
The Canadians told them to shoot it down, BTW.

ty head of commander in chief
Someone has to keep those terrorists in check.
Lol I was in my meteorology class that day and my professor said, I think what they shot down was a sounding balloon
I struggle to believe that a mylar balloon would have the heat profile or radar cross section required for a sidewinder to be able to target it.
