John Ratcliff told Maria Bartiromo that the CCP can drop surveillance equipment and drones from those balloons. That video we saw the first night was, imo, a shoot down of something the balloon deployed. It could be that they are scouring the ground for other devices deployed.

These people are incompetent morons...or compromised.

My sister's BF's husband is still in the military and he said the video was definitely of something being shot down (as if a civilian couldn't tell that), and we live near where this happened. There is a whole lot of something not being told.

It's really astonishing how well the media/government psyops work. Okay, it wasn't the Chinese war balloon. Then, WTH was it?

I posted this below as well:

I've heard of a theory for the CCP spy war balloon that has nothing to do with spying. A nuclear bomb detonated at high altitude (but below the magnetosphere shield) would generate an EMP that could take down the grid in the entire continental United States.

Yes, every country spies on every other country (even allies) using whatever tools available to them. The US has a lot of tools. No one wants to be spied upon. No one wants to stop spying.

The balloon was at 60k'. Record for a gas balloon with a payload ~ 100k'. To get a 10 kV EMP over the US you would need a lot more altitude. To get a focused EMP (directed energy) you could do that but not a widespread EMP.

I've read the theory else where that this was a test run for a weapon such as that. As for what else it could be? It occurs to me that it could be "one of our own" and they made up the story because it flew low enough that someone saw it, and suddenly we have "Chinese spy balloon." The lie is for the US public's benefit and China's, if it's a weapon the US military is working on. As for what we would be doing? I don't know, everything from spying on our own people to doing a test run for a deadly weapon to use on our own people or another country.

Pedro Gonzales made some good points yesterday, about what we face if it was the Chinese: https://substack.com/inbox/post/100783827
