Chinese spy balloon tracker found northern U.S The Northern U.S has been the target of Chinese spy balloon tracker found, but recent reports suggest that the Chinese government has increased its use of spy balloons in the northern part of the country. These balloons are designed to collect information about American military activity and infrastructure. While the exact impact of these balloons…

the alien hearing is proof that actually nutjob men are taken 1000x more seriously than any woman ever in the world.

#'i keep seeing stuff around our base'#almost like the US military has a long history of secretly testing drone and weapon tech #'how come they haven't used it?'#they almost certainly have #we (the world) didn't discover the chinese spy balloons until this year because we just didn't have our sensors set sensitive enough

So the Chinese launched this balloon to spy directly on the United States?

Probably not. The Chinese would have known that sending a clearly observable balloon into the US heartland would be a provocative action, and they are unlikely to have done so on purpose.

The most likely scenario, Antonio believes, is that the termination mechanism, which is used to bring down a balloon at the end of its desired flight time, failed. Typically a stratospheric balloon will have one or more backup termination mechanisms, but a technical problem would explain why a balloon launched in China days or weeks ago could have eventually drifted into the United States. (The Chinese government may not want to admit this technical failure publicly.) The prevailing currents in the stratosphere would appear to support this theory of a drifting balloon the Chinese government had lost control of.

The time to fly such a balloon, for spying purposes, would be during the summer months, Antonio said. That's because during the winter the winds throughout the stratosphere are much more uniform in the Northern Hemisphere. This means that raising and lowering the balloon would provide very little steering capability. "Controlled [stationary] stratospheric flight is a thing, but it's not something you can really do over the United States at this time of year," Antonio said.[...]

There are some Air Force facilities with nuclear capabilities in the state, but there is no information to be gleaned by this balloon that has not already been collected by satellites. US military officials do not believe there is any strategic advantage for China to make observations with a balloon. This lends more credence to the notion that it has gone off course, perhaps due to the failed termination system.

#'yes its big and obvious and it likely was an accident but it couldnt have been a weather balloon bc theres only one kind'#even the ~reasonable~ media lmao #'it was a spy balloon but it was meant to spy over like. the pacific ocean or smth'#the extents youll go to if your starting premise is 'well of course the chinese are lying BUT...'
