Those godless communists referred to this balloon as an act of God when they called it force majeure.

The Navy says this balloon's instrument cluster sank to a horrific depth of 50 feet beneath the surface. Seven days wasn't enough time to bring it up. More refresher training is needed, due to so much focusing on "woke" B.S. over the past 2 years.

I believe the balloon was commandeered by a greater force than Chinese officials, whose oxymoronic statement of "accidental force majeure" seemed to tacitly admit this.
The lighting technology of the balloon was obviously greater than what we see in commercial technology.
It was probably commanded by satellite, which is obviously technology more advanced than publicly reported.
Though it appeared to blow with the wind, we see no more than a couple seconds of footage after it was supposedly hit. No camera people could track a downed balloon any longer than that? It was 12 miles away. What gives?
It seems like a farce that American officials are exercising supreme domination in this altercation. A Space Farce.
I wonder if we will see further developments in this event... Will we discover the downed balloon and it's payload?
Hardtack (or hard tack) is a type of dense biscuit or cracker made from flour, water, and sometimes salt. Hardtack is inexpensive and long-lasting. It is used for sustenance in the absence of perishable foods, commonly during long sea voyages, land migrations, and military campaigns.[1] Along with salt pork, hardtack was a standard ration for many militaries and navies from the 17th through the early 20th centuries.

Sounds gross, I hope we don't go back to eating that crap!
