Took them long enough. If I would have seen it I would have just shot it with my rifle or 22. Crazy it made its way across the country without someone else doing just that.

Babalon Bee said yesterday that Biden would shoot it down after it was done spying.

I honestly berieve it was a weather balloon. They have the biggest double agent in the White House. What do they really need to spy on? Big Man gets his cut and his masters tell him what to do

Not really if you took the time to know anything about the topic before opining about it.

The thing was at twice the cruising altitude of airliners.

probably wanted to let it do what it was supposed to do and then shoot it down to see what they could recover to analyze?

It was shot down over the water so people wouldn’t be able to retrieve any debris.

It could have been shot down over Montana with almost no risk to civilians below.

Our government is being bent over by a country that uses balloons as spy tech. Let that sink in.

Wonder if the raptors shot it with their 20mm cannons. Didn’t look like a missile

ETA- raptor shot a missile
