Why would China use a spy balloon when it has satellites?

A blimp is a balloon and it is powered and controlled

 

Whether the payload hit the ground or water at 60,000 feet there isn’t going to be much left of it.

 

Was it this much of an sn accident:

 

It can veer into a different direction but in the same vector direction angle as the wind direction. It was not streamlined

 

China could have called to let someone know their balloon was off course.

 

do you think if its US, we gonna call china and say, "hey just let you know our spy ballon is coming your ways " imagine the field day media would have if biden call china and say US spy ballon is on its way to china. republican gonna boil him alive for giving classify info to china.

 

You don’t if you know it’s a spy craft. They were hoping it would fly over without being noticed.

 

LOOK MORE, SEE MORE: Why the US might be finding more unidentified flying objects: The sudden discovery of more objects matches a change made to US radar capability.

After the China Balloon our radar settings were reconfigured to pick up things other than incoming bombers and ICBM's and as a result of looking hard, it maybe that we are simply finding more.

 

So true. Than again, what does the US got to tell about this all. So far I heard nothing more than, we saw the balloon had "equipment" and "antenna's". The wreckage has been found like over a week ago. I reckon that when this remains like this, that they really don't got crap on China. Makes perfect sense that if it indeed was something for the weather, that it got antenna's and equipment. And the longer this is taking..... I mean, what general wouldn't want to have a press conference slapping the Chinese spy equipment on the table at a press conference.... but so far it's not happening. All we got is a picture of a balloon found in the water. Whooptido.

 

1. Why use a balloon when you can use satellites?

2. Why send an obviously visible balloon 330,000,000 people can see with the naked eye?

3. Why would anonymous intelligence officials claim there were 3 more in Trump's presidency when the actual people in charge at the time have gone on the record saying nothing of the sort?

4. Why are there more objects being shot down which the US and Canadian media and governments are heavily implying are also Chinese, without providing evidence?

5. Why and how are these objects cylindrical and octagonal with no recognisable propulsion system?

6. Why are the US and Canadian governments hinting they know crucial facts they aren't letting us know?


I don't know what it is, but something is definitely going on here. Millions of people will probably be branded as conspiracy theorists before they quietly admit the conspiracies were right 6 months later.

 

You use a balloon to test capabilities in the event of a war where satellites get knocked out. Testing alternatives makes sense as did just letting them pass made sense. By shooting it down we have shown our abilities there which will result in adversaries looking for other methods.

 

Because they are cheap compared to satellites and apparently hard to detect. China could send thousands of these and watch as we expend millions in dollars shooting them down. Genius!

 

Way too smart, simple, and indicative of a friendly trading partner. Much like them denying giving us Covid cultures to give us a head start on the vaccine.
I’ll bet 90% of Chinese history is built on lies and they are a 4000 year old rathole.

 

BS! I want proof 3 were shot down after the Chinese balloon was. Satellites could have taken pictures of those supposedly slow moving objects.

 

Here’s proof!

 

Somehow, it floated directly over secure (possibly nuclear) military bases in remote locations. Being there are balloons flying often now from China, do you really think they are mistaken problems being no other nation has their balloons floating over other countries?

 

We’ve seen pictures of the balloon.

 

Not sure why they didn't just poke smaller holes in in and let it gradually drop and then maybe harness with choppers at lower elevation. I would be interested to see if these balloons are truly weather balloons or not.

 

We’re using 500,000 dollar missiles to shoot down 100,000 dollar balloons. What happens when they send hundreds or thousands all at once? Will they all be shot down?

 

Seems Canada tried that a few years ago and it didn’t work out. Something to do with high altitude and fairly equal pressure differential.

 

Yet as far as I'm aware there have been no photos showing the balloon flying directly over or even near a military base. These bases are not in remote locations; One is based next to a large town (can't remember its name but previously looked up on Google Earth)

 

I am not sure entirely. But, even if they did, our government wouldn't tell us to prevent panic or public outrage.

Your link has the name of the base I looked up -Malmstrom which is right next to a large town. I find it odd that none of the Great Falls public had a photo published showing the balloon overhead. So I really doubt that the balloon went anywhere near it. But it sounds more ominous to say that the balloon went over military installations.

 

Well. I thought about how well you can aim a balloon floating around and hoping it will go over military bases in remote locations. And the thing that popped up in my mind, is that it's probably just as badly predictable as a hurricane. We all know them charts about the hurricane might go here or there-ish. It contains a prediction of a couple of different scenario's where the paths are 100's of miles apart, from a hurricane that will show up in less than a week. A balloon from China takes a lot longer to reach the US.

So you know... it doesn't seem plausible you can aim a balloon from China that well at all.
I'm not saying I'm an expert one bit. But this is the only thing I could come up with.

You might also ask how many different sites the US got. I doubt they are going to list all their secret sites.
Most states in the US got a whole bunch of army sites. So it could be just a total coincidence.
And what is "near" anyways. It's so high up, that the distance is rather far to begin with.
If it can zoom straight down, it's probably more handy to zoom in from an angle.
It's not as if you can read a license plate zooming straight down.

 

I can't say for sure if it was accidental or planned, but if China is the only country letting their balloons run free and currently flying over many strategic countries, then I have to question why they are the only country who cannot control their balloons. To not question would be like letting an opponent eves drop on your team meetings.
