    So out of no where another smaller balloon approximately the size of one of a US weather balloon shows up off the coast of Alaska and is promptly shot down. Amid much mystery.

    Given this admins track record on such why are so many talking heads willing to take this at face value?

    Pardon me for being a cynical old bastard, but this stinks of an attempted oh look a squirrel moment in which some CIA spook vessel launches an old weather balloon for the air force to shoot down so Biden can be hero for a day and his pet generals don't look quite so much like either Chinese assets or complete idiots.

    Note the less info we hear about this supposed spy balloon over the next few days the more likely that scenario I put forth is true.

    They had not disclosed what it was…. Are they now saying it is another balloon?

    They disclosed it was a balloon and the approximate size as of yet, they claim not to know where it came from or whose it is. Supposedly it landed on ice flow of the coast of Alaska where the CIA is picking it up and examining it.

    As a side note I thought global warming melted all the ice.

    What “mystery”? It’s literally all over the news.

    As a side note, literally no one has stated global warming melted all the ice.

    That's exactly what it is. That's why it happened on a Friday afternoon.

    I find it amazing that some people know so much about an object that hasn't yey been retrieved. They must be clarivoyent. I would need to revisit this after I had more information.

    Per Breitbart…
    Feb. 10 (UPI) — Pentagon spokesman Gen. Pat Ryder said an F-22 U.S. fighter aircraft successfully took down a high-altitude object over Alaska after it was detected by ground radar Friday.

    Ryder, speaking during a Pentagon press briefing, said U.S. Northern Command is conducting debris recovery of the object and, “at this point,” the U.S. doesn’t know the origin of the object.

    Is that a "no"?

    I'm betting that when actual debris is recovered, it'll be immediately released to the media.

    Prediction: if they come up with some song and dance about how we can see photos of the debris, that'll be the sign that it's total bullshit.

    All I've told you is what they told us and they told us it was a balloon a smaller one, a much smaller one. They didn't know what sort of package it was carrying.

    From reports it’s been said they didn’t know where it came from. They may or may not know from the wreckage. They did say it’s didn’t look similar to the previous balloon that was shot down. So no real mystery at this point except for the one you’re looking for.

    No way to win. You get criticized whether you shoot down a balloon or do not shoot it down.

    Oh yes. It's obvious a weather balloon was launched so our military can shoot it down to make Joe look cool and troll the reds.

    LOL, do y'all think these conspiracies out before you talk about em? Yours is comedy gold.

    LOL! Always have to find another "Biden bad" conspiracy, right?

    Now, if Biden wanted to look better, it would have been much easier. He could have just taken a sharpie and revised the track of the original Chinese balloon on the map, so that it never crossed into US territory. And then he could have fired the government worker who drew the original map. Oh, wait, where have we seen this before.
