Photos of Recovered Chinese spy Balloon

I'm convinced our leaders think we are morons...

It's like watching a clown distract a child with a balloon at the circus.

Definitely looks like a photo op. Look at the dude sitting on the starboard side not helping his bros. Staged.

YEP, HE DIDN'T MOVE WHEN IT WAS DAYLIGHT AND HADN'T MOVED when it was DARK!

No , officer.

Where is the package it was carrying? That is the interesting bits, not the balloon.

Who cares about the balloon where's what was hanging under it. Dropping 65,000 feet probably wasn't too good for it but it probably was a pressure vessel so it should be fine. other than the self destruct stuff.

There's no way it was at "65,000 feet" when they shot it. I saw it over western North Carolina Saturday morning. Was glassing it easily with 7x35 binoculars. I can "see" an A320 or a big passenger jet at 40,000 feet with the binoculars. This thing was much clearer and closer

There's no way it was that high up. Maybe 20,000 feet, being generous.

I'll also note: clear crisp cool morning, blue sky, absolutely clear skies. Not a helicoptor, not a P-3 or whatever, no fighter jets flying around it, zero aircraft near it or frankly within 100 miles, for the 90 minutes I was watching it pass by. And nothing on adsb. No contrails, no sounds of jets. Perfectly quiet morning.

Biden said they were "monitoring" it but I don't see how, without any aircraft around.

You're right.
It's looking more and more like a dog and pony show.
A bad dog and pony show.

It's a spy balloon just because our government says it is? And since when should we start trusting anything said by this government at this point.

Maybe, just maybe, it was actually a weather balloon like China said it was, and our government claims it to be a spy balloon just to rile and enrage US, we the people, to hate china all the more and accept any actions they decide appropriate.

When are the masses going to realize, sad to say, that our own government can not be trusted...

What would you call it. A chinese Happy Happy Feng Feng balloon?
Asking for a friend.

They're probably just going to send them the alien technology from Roswell.

These are the current, and probably last photos of the ChiCom Spy balloon, being recovered. The U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 2,
is photographed off the coast of Myrtle Beach on Feb. 5. The FBI will be taking over the remnants of the Spy Balloon for study. www.huffpost.com...

For a balloon to be large enough to carry a spy platform the size of 3 school buses, there doesn't seem to be enough material here.

As if the Navy will do something like figure out who's giving them the technology they're not supposed to have hint hint probably Biden hint in Obama in George w bush hint hint George Soros hint hint New world order

The last government official to tell the truth was Dwight Eisenhower. And, he warned us of the military-industrial complex.
Oh and Josh Hawley.

Lol

Looks so staged

How can anyone trust the corrupt media

Trust the science.

Update 2.17.2023

United States Vice President KAMALA HARRIS says the China Spy Balloon was "NOT HELPFUL".

This means U.S. brains couldn't learn anything from it?

Another typical example of the feckless VP Harris, "She stated, "We will maintain the perspective that we have in terms of what should be the relationship between China and the United States. That is not going to change, but surely and certainly that balloon was not helpful, which is why we shot it down."

Of course it's staged. The military isn't going to allow pictures that give out information, so just about every picture they release is staged in a way that you can't see anything useful. These pictures were all released by the Pentagon through their Public Affairs office.
