Enough is enough....

I am ready to just grow flower and relax. This work **** to pay tax **** is getting really old. We have "spy" balloons and "spy" ships in our area. LOL. I am pretty sure the smart people in these countries are not like, "send a balloon the size of 3 buses across the US to spy on them."
I am tired of hearing about it. It's like a bad dream. I have so many other goals and things I want to pay attention to. Sorry I am just ranting.

It's a trip. I don't watch news, but the news finds me.

a long strange trip

just when one has thought they have seen it all , up pops something else

the balloon thing is some kind of false narrative

why in the world would it be destroyed and not captured and analyzed?

doh

Taking it down over water that was not to deep for regular divers and to not cause as most damage to its payload as land and obstacles on land would have most likely destroyed it.

Morning...I can see where this is going....

Nice thing is there is a safe place to land....take it there.

 

[RosterMan]

Any landing you walk away from is a safe landing.
Unless you are trapped in the belly gun terret and the landing gear is shot off and the plane needs to make a Belly Landing.
I know that feeling

I get that

but I am thinking the Military Industrial Complex had other options for capturing that balloon without firing a $400,000 dollar tomahawk not to mention the fuel used and manpower for this operation , must have been a few million bucks

there are stories out there that the balloon was an homemade weather balloon built by some Hobbyist in a garage for less than $200 dollars

so yeah , maybe a huge helicopter with a grab hook , use Seal Team 6

That would have taken the biggest chopper down if they hook it in the air
