I simply must buy some high altitude balloons online, just to see the US spend a million dollars shooting it down. I will even suspend some radio antennas off it so they can say it was a spy balloon.

Weather Balloon 1500 g
$159.00

Our 1500 g weather balloon is a workhorse that will transport your payload higher than any other 1500 g balloon. Although it is more expensive than the Chinese and Indian weather balloons, its quality is far superior. This enables you to achieve higher altitudes with a smaller weather balloon, less helium, and less overall cost. If you are not satisfied with your 1500 g balloon’s performance, we will send you another 1500 g weather balloon at no additional cost!

Cheap 1500 g balloons have short, fat necks that are challenging to tie off. Our 1500 g weather balloon features a 14 cm long neck with a 3 cm diameter. This makes it a lot easier for your ground crew to tie off the neck after inflating the balloon.

Characteristics

Neck Diameter 3 cm
Burst Altitude 35 to 40 km / 115,000 to 130,000 ft

Oh, I'm so sad and angry... that poor lil USA is being attacked and spied on by everyone, look at what an innocent victim Washington is, all those weather balloons and mysterious UFOs drifting over there, all those nasty and evil countries existing right next to their 800+ overseas military bases, all those nasty sanctions bouncing off Russia etc and attacking those kind and harmless people in Washington. Oh what an unjust place this world is.

Japan during ww2? Claiming victorious victory after they dropped two nuclear bombs on a nation that did not possess such weapons. The resent humiliation of a balloon and now the victory of this high altitude object? I that day many many years ago when the Russians shot down one of their ultra high flying U2 spy planes over Russian territory. At least the Russians know what they shoot at. Guess that's why ufo's are so scared to cross Russian air space and prefer US air space. Seems much safer to do reconnaissance of western airspace

Chinese spy balloon! I think the Chinese have better equipment than balloons (satellites or private jets belonging to Chinese nationals) if they were intending on spying in the USA? Washington really does believe that Americans are too stupid to put 2 and 2 together! These are the delinquent, fascist, mentally deficient people who are running our country!

Dear China please keep sending them balloons by thousands and let the Americans go trigger happy !! What's the cost of a balloon, say $ 50,000 the USA will be shooting it down with a $1.2 Million missile + $ 50k /hr of f35 operational cost !! LMAO

ITKovasabiMod:

If they were able to shoot this new flying object before getting to the US mainland, they should have been able to shoot down the 'spy balloon' before it got to the US mainland.

The point is, the so called 'spy balloon' should have never gotten to the US mainland. It transited over the Pacific ocean before it got to North America. It should have been shot down over the Pacific ocean.
The US was unable to detect the 'spy balloon' until the strange flying object was detected by citizens who brought it to the attention of authorities.


This is a PR stunt. The US is very vulnerable and has incompetent politicians at the helms.

Knowing Biden it's probably a set-up to try and counter the flack he's been getting over the last balloon fiasco!.. He hates bad press and I believe he's capable of doing anything to make himself look good!..

MT:


The spy balloon has a payload of the size of 3 buses, if they down it in the city, some people would die on the ground. Reason they waited for it to float over the ocean. This new object is very small and its payload has no risk to anyone on the ground since it is very small, hence the reason they downed it over the frozen water

If they were able to shoot this new flying object before getting to the US mainland, they should have been able to shoot down the 'spy balloon' before it got to the US mainland.

Emmyxclusive:
They actually detected it, Biden wanted it shut down but his military advicers advised him against it. So they jamed all signals from transmitting from it allowed it flew to the ocean before shooting it down, in that way they are able to recover alot of equipment from it with minimal damage. Also that prevented civilian casualties

You missed the point.
I won't debate with you on if they actually detected the 'spy balloon'. That's what they told you and that's what you'll believe.
The point is, both flying objects approached from the Pacific Ocean. If they were able to shoot this new flying object before getting to the US mainland, they should have been able to shoot down the 'spy balloon' before it got to the US mainland.

I would love to see the surveillance results. Also, When did the U.S. first discover the balloon? Over the Pacific Ocean? Over Canada? Over Montana? I'm not only shocked that the U.S. didn't detect it early but that they let it cross the entire United States collecting and probably transmitting the information to China.

Knowing Biden it's probably a set-up to try and counter the flack he's been getting over the last balloon fiasco!.. He hates bad press and I believe he's capable of doing anything to make himself look good!..



I was looking for critical thinking on Nairaland. The first and second page was very disappointing..it makes me want to agree with Borrell's view of Africans. That's the reality for some of us.

Doctor Strangerlove Tell the people anything and they will believe it. Who is going to be any the wiser. Conveniently shot down in the ocean. I can only hope it was Bill Gates in his private jet.

The 'spy balloon' approached the North American mainland/hinterland from the pacific ocean direction.
They had plenty oppurtunity to shoot it down over the Pacific Ocean before it flew over North American mainland.
From comments I've read, I'm 100% certain a good number of Nairalanders do not know where China or the US is located on the world map.

Why were they unable to detect this 'spy balloon' before it got to the US mainland/hinterland but they're able to detect this new 'flying object' that approached from the same Pacific Ocean direction.
Can't you guys see the BS? It was disappointing that no one brought up that question on the first and second page. I just saw adults who ought to be intelligent behave like unhinged monkeys.
