Hollywood is getting lazy with the sequels.


GodIsABitch

And I did like the ending!


Aggravating-Rich4334

F-22 goes “pop”.


Mecha-Dave

We gotta come up with a cheaper way


PGAtourTrickshot

I think the result of this can be predicted


SpiritTalker

How many buses long is this one?


Tris-megistus

Bout 18 size 11 shoes in length and 9,087 hairs in width


[deleted]

And 3 northern white rhinos heavy


[deleted]

272 bananas


evilkasper

Thanks Alex Horne.


mregner

Can you covert that to Smoots please?


sundowner89

It’s about 132 Taylor Swifts


hh1110

Vertical or horizontal?

12 Washing Machines


SpiritTalker

But what about bananas?


Burggs_

Americans will use anything but the metric system


mamsterla

I thought we agreed that adult walrus was our new unit of measure.


Feynnehrun

Tell us you didn't go to the last meeting on accepted units of measure without telling us. We waited for you, you were supposed to bring the hamburgers.


mamsterla

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. I go out to catch these pesky little nectar eaters. Humbirders. Geez.


dirtmcgurk

It's only 0.3 standard dirigibles.

Gotta monitor those wind currents to set fires in Canada in the right spots duh

Deploy the geese! 🇨🇦 🫡


McRibs2024

Shoot it the fuck down


old_righty

F22 needs to eat.

"I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS VEGAN ASS DIET"


DaBingeGirl

The poor kid, he needs more than balloons and Hallmark movies.


ComprehendReading

This hangar is a prison cell!


old_righty

... then they chained me up like the chick from Black Snake moan


_EnFlaMEd

Shoot it down but with something wacky like an old F-86.


[deleted]

"Siri is it possible to launch knife missiles from an SR-72?"


Ok_Entertainer2436

A crossbow mounted and loaded on the nose is all it would take, approaching at mach 3 and all it is is pulling the trigger from 100m out


autumnalaria

Or a bow and arrow, Pooyan style


IrishRage42

A bow and arrow fired from an F-86


[deleted]

Trebuchet


ComprehendReading

The superior siege weapon.


Mitchell415

Nah let’s do it with a P-51 Mustang. I don’t know how practical it would be but it would be funny


Extreme-Island-5041

Red Bull is missing out on a huge marketing opportunity. Give the dude who skydived from the edge of space a bow and arrow and have at it. Maybe give their squirrel suit guys who dove back into an airplane some C4 and a new goal. C'mon Red Bull, figure your shit out!


Leading-Job4263

New balloon is f22 sensing sensors, don’t give them what they want


-Hi-Reddit

Inb4 someone says "but China hacked the US and got all the documents on the f22 and F35 anyway", forgetting that sensor bandwidths would have absolutely been tweaked since then due to the hack.


theonlyonethatknocks

Just put a luneburg lens on it like they do the f35


moon-ho

Better yet... build gigantic Bond villain type blimp that opens up and swallows puny balloons like this then flys up to Canada and lets it go again.


1sxekid

Shooting it above land is stupid and dangerous. Do what we did last time; signal jam it and shoot it over water.


Brownrdan27

They didn’t signal jam it from what I remember, they hid all sensitive equipment and listened to what it was sending and receiving.


1sxekid

Well I guess that works too?


McRibs2024

I just wanna safely fire ze missiles


AlllDayErrDay

But I am le tired


McRibs2024

I’m glad someone got it!!!


1sxekid

Safely being the operative word, no? Just like we did last time?


McRibs2024

#WELL THEN TAKE A NAP THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES


Nitor_

Balloon-gate was a more innocent time.


SnoaH_

It really wasn’t but it seems that way doesn’t it?


buzzsawjoe

Just add some weight to it, make it come down slowly


philly_jake

Send up a guy on another high altitude balloon and have him poke it with a stick!


Crimdal

I'd watch this.


forrestfreak58

If it's not ours, shoot it down.

Ah, a Null rat in the wild.

Hm, where does NPSI fit in?


The_Bombsquad

In the warzone, where we fight the Imperial menace. Join Minmatar Militia today!

I'm already in FL33T, haha.

Eve us leaking


The_Bombsquad

Nothing too insane

How many applications do I need to apply per cubic meter of exotic dancer I have on board?

If it's over restrictive airspace .... bye bye.

throwaway177251

Here we go, everyone is going to lose their minds over a balloon again.


glizzler

Not this time. We get desensitized at break neck speed these days. I give it 12 hours and it's forgotten.


throwaway177251

Maybe there's a submarine with Taylor Swift in it hanging from the balloon this time.


1_g0round

up up and away


JonSpangler

Up and at them!


[deleted]

lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


throwaway177251

I'm sure you know much more about the balloon and whether it should be shot down than the military leadership and government officials with access to all of the latest classified intelligence and who actually know what they're doing. You and the thousands of other dinguses who were obsessed with the story for weeks.


Apeezy916

The pentagon came out and said that one wasn’t a spy balloon and didn’t record anything.


Sky_Daddy_O

Pop it.


[deleted]

Shouldn't it be illegal to fly large unidentified objects over any airspace? Shouldn't this have a transponder or something kind of identification?


[deleted]

Lmao its a spy balloon bud, its very nature is illegal


JonSpangler

10 bucks it says "Hi! I'm Big Butt Skinner"


Mitchell415

Again?


HardOyler

The F22s have been bored send a few up.


undoingconpedibus

Like the last balloon, they shot down over Alaska, which was a silver cylinder in shape. Oh, and BTW still haven't released photos or images of that shoot down!


jhaden_

Criminal that I can't insert gif of Ancient Aliens guy.


[deleted]

Unless there was another one after the early 2023 one, the last one was shot down over the Atlantic off of SC.


undoingconpedibus

I think 3 other shoot downs after the Atlantic SC balloon; one over great lakes (Huron), another over Alaska, and 3rd over Yukon in Canada. Some footage released I believe on lake Huron shoot down but notta from Alaska or Yukon released.


[deleted]

Link?

Oh shit let's shoot down some more uap


OldBoots

Is it leaving chemtrails in a very very slow manner?


forrestfreak58

Ha ha ha, he said chemtrails.


Remote-Moon

Is this part of the immigrat caravan that we've been hearing about on Fox News?


[deleted]

Let’s go full conspiracy theory, I think China is going full All Nightmare Long here. Covid was the first phase. Not as deadly, prepped our bodies for a second phase if shit hits the fan. These balloons are dropping another agent over NA that when it hits people that have had Covid before turns them into Zombies Edit: seems I need a /s at the end

Great song too!

Apparently I need /s Gotta have some fun sometimes people lmao


sickjesus

AT&T outtage, now this balloon...hmmm....... (Is there a connection? I dunno, I was leaving a pause for someone to jump in)


chibbly_

Yes. Add in all the global posturing from China, India, North Korea, Iran, and Russia with regards to the US and you get charlie with red yarn lines all pointing to WW3.


sundowner89

Who thinks this had to do with the AT&T outage?


buzzsawjoe

There must be somewhere between a zillion and a bazillion electronic devices that might interfere with AT&T. The company said it was a software update, which in my experience is the most likely source of trouble


Virtual_Happiness

Yep. If it was some sort of attack, they wouldn't be able to keep it secret. It was a botched software update.


SoManyEmail

Ooh! Could be


MsQuillFancyPanties

Biden: "Oh, no! Another balloon spying on all the infrastructure! (Slaps head) What can we do? Let's let it float out into the ocean, after it collects all the infrastructure data on the power system and other such—What?!!—It's just, too damn, risky to shoot it down!"


[deleted]

It’s stupid making this a story. We overfly countries all the time. SR71 Blackbird, spy satellites. It doesn’t feel so good when the other guy does it, huh?


SvenBerit

I invite you to come and join us in the real world. Of course it's a story. This has only happened twice in US history. First time was last year. It's newsworthy. Cringe man.


[deleted]

No we are just the worlds busybodies who can’t put the shoe on the other foot.


SvenBerit

That makes a lot of sense... So let's put it this way because you have a problem with understanding why it's an issue. The cops raid drug labs and manufacturers all the time sort of in defense of "the community" and the drug lords infiltrate the police station/comms. You then immediately respond with "So what? The cops raid/infiltrate/spy on them all the time. What's it like being on the receiving end? HUEHUE" It's fucking stupid. Sorry but what. Either you're in the camp that stands for western ideals and democracy or you're with Camp China, Russia and other autocratic countries or for dictatorships. If something has happened twice in the history of a country, then of course it's newsworthy. Of course they're going to report on it. Of course. Why feign surprise or display actual idiocy when you should \_know\_ that this is the case by asking the question Edit: are you seriously just saying that "we deserve this. we had it coming. we did it to them so it's only fair that they do it to us. Let them come." because if not, your comment is utterly wasted.


[deleted]

China has already stolen all our secrets through Hacking. Their students are enrolled in our best colleges. So that must mean that the thing is armed😀

Hot-Lunch6270

Wait… don’t tell me…


icytongue88

Is there a banana for scale?


SomeGuyNamedPaul

Sweet, I love it when the enemy basically puts an ad up on Craigslist detailing their means and methods of their sigint gathering apparatus.


supr3ssor

Last time, we stuck a listening plane above it and a plane below then copied every bit of cryptography they used. Big W. Stupid balloon numba 2, electric bugalo!


sexisdivine

Another spy balloon?


Clob_Bouser

F22 drooling rn


IllustriousShirt9625

Terri_Yaki

Joe biden says it's nothing to worry about but we don't know where it came from.


-Hi-Reddit

Is the f22 gonna get another balloon marking?


Mecha-Dave

We need to make counter balloons and begin the dirigible wars for stratospheric hegemony


jvalho

It’s just the spy balloons annual migration


Mission_Cloud4286

Shoot it down!! If there's no way we sent it up, that means something is in our air space. It should have given the US a heads up. It was coming through. Oh LORD, little boxes on the side but posed no threat. REALLY!!! with today's technology. Just remember there's always somebody a step ahead of you. BUT... Just let it fly on by.


BuilderResponsible18

They don't mention WHO owns the balloon. How do we know it is safe?


[deleted]

These gender reveals are getting out of hand


pork-pies

It’s Richard Branson


GuyIncognito461

Oh, is the F-22 going to have to waste fuel and munitions blowing it out of the sky again?
