When they are both saying the same thing maybe it's obvious what should happened, but the military is like nah....it's cool. And how the hell did it get to Montana? They are the guy in the hallway in Austin Powers watching the steamroller come at him. Nobody in the military was like maybe we should take this out before it gets over land? What a cluster.

It flew over Alaska and came down over Canada. Very sparsely populated and balloons aren’t exactly glowing on radar. I wonder if the decision not to shoot it down was a fear that it has some kind of ELINT capability.

February 3, 20232 yr Someone photoshop this picture to have the balloon pulling a banner, like an advertising plane at the beach, that says "Eric, I miss you! Love Feng Feng." Please?

You can see approximately where it’s at by where the RC-135 is at that’s trailing it over on ADSB exchange. There might be some issues in shooting it down because it might be an ELINT surveillance platform, or we just might not be able to. Modern radar guided missiles are designed to not be fooled by chaff, and they recognize chaff because it doesn’t really move comparative to an airframe, and this balloon isn’t really motoring.

It's a balloon, dude. We don't need missiles to drop it.

February 4, 20232 yr The U.S. Navy shot down a satellite in space using a missile. It should be able to shoot down the balloon. Why not just use an airborne laser.
