Dang... My delivery from AliExpress is going to have to be reordered.

So anyone in SC notice a shit ton of high altitude jets hauling ass everywhere? Or, is it just my imagination? I’m in the Edgefield area and just seen three hauling ass at high altitude. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen airliners out this way plenty, just not three back to back like that and hauling ass.

Yes because the first strike will be there….. I guess on a plus it’s probably most people wouldn’t notice if that’s the case…

Ignore my previous reply. Watched video vs bs still pics from fox. Anomaly occurred from above. No idea. Currently my conspiracy me leans toward this was set up between pos Biden and his Chicom brothers as a distraction from current events. For real. No other logical reason for China's "aggression" and our actions / lack thereof. I do appreciate the solar-powered actuators / possible thrusters allowing for maneuverability of balloons.

And there’s a fourth flying by. That’s not usual for this neck of the woods.

Demonstrating that they could have done so at any time, just to let the Chinese know their balloons aren't untouchable. Have all the competent higher ups already jumped ship (retired, went looking for greener pastures in the private sector, etc)? |

I don’t care what y’all think…I’ve been here for a few years and that amount of air traffic here isn’t normal.

Ok, I'm a bit confused. How many balloons are present over the US at this time?

Quoted: Thanks. Has China made a statement about them yet? View Quote 'Weather balloon blown off course. We should all be sensible about this, and not make a big deal out of it.' Chinese social media, on the other hand, is apparently ridiculing the US for having such a weak air defense system that a balloon defeated it. ETA: I may have misread something about a third balloon, as the one over South America and the one just shot down near the Carolina coast are the only ones I can see being currently talked about in the news. |

The Chinese are surveilling the fly-over country to find weaknesses for their attack plans.
After studying the documentaries about the Wolverines, they realized it is essential to take control of the Heartland first, then move to take over the weaker Liberal coastal areas. |

One down off the Carolina coast, a possible second one over Canada, and one over South America.
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/chinese-balloon-canada/2023/02/03/id/1107266/ The Canadian Armed Forces are reportedly monitoring a "potential second incident" related to the massive Chinese balloon that has been hovering over American airspace this week. In a statement Thursday, Canada's military command reiterated that "Canadians are safe and Canada is taking steps to ensure the security of its airspace, including the monitoring of a potential second incident." According to Breitbart News, Canadian officials have yet to clarify whether a second Chinese balloon had been identified.

Watching any network, you'd think the f'n downing just saved us, the world, the universe. and any f'n black holes out there. We will see who is pond scum. No doubt an investigation (congress) is forthcoming. No doubt this was an arrangement between biden and xi. I am now prepping myself for disappointment re will those i feel are swamp cleaners turn out to be involved in a future cover up. No way in hell was this china "testing the waters" and us just letting it float from the Aleutians to the Carolinas. That sob was no doubt observed from being prepped for launch, launch, flight. Less it's limited maneuverability, the whole damn world who knows the, "spheres", winds, and associated climatic data knew within meters where the device would be at any given minute.
