    I have concerns this is what the Chinese wanted. Targets that gather attack data. Electronic signatures of the F-22, F-15 and AMRAAM. The Montana recovered debris should reveal what they really are. I need a budget increase.

    This is fn fishy.
    Yep, and this is the correct answer to your question:

    The balloon was called
    加夫里洛.普林西普

    The Chinese have been using balloons in warfare for 2000 years. Why not start WW3 with one?

    Yay, we shot down a balloon!

    I feel safer already.

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.

    Waiting to shoot it down until it was over the Atlantic and then destroying the important bits with slim chance of recovery...either a complete failure, or planned that way. I know our leadership is dumb, but didn't think they were all 100% retarded.

    So I have to ask, why would they want it destroyed and unrecoverable?

    Why didn’t Canada shoot it down? It flew over Alaska, Canada and continental US.

    We could have shot it down over Canada and blamed it on them. What's Justin going to do?

    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    USAF shot it down and severed the tether cable. This is an AIM-9X and it will blow your head clean off.

    Does this sound familiar?
