I heard 60k.Questions/observations I have -
- They say its capable of navigating but appears to me that its riding the polar vortex.
- Read that it was at altitude of 80k feet, thus out of range for ground to air targeting so it would have to be shot down with an air to air missile.
- Military said they were concerned about lives on the ground if they shot it down, which sounds like BS to me, they are just saying that under orders from the cabal in the WH.
Wondering if they could puncture enough holes in it with lasers to bring it down..or are they concerned that there is a self-destruct mechanism that would totally destroy it if it was going down..or perhaps it would release some pathogen into the atmosphere..Questions/observations I have -

Too little, too late. If it was some sort of spy device, it already sent its data.Biden praises Top Gun F-22 jet pilot who shot down China spy balloon
An F-22 Raptor out of Langley Air Force base took the balloon down with a single missile at 2.38pm, separating its surveillance payload and sending it plummeting towards the ocean off Myrtle Beach.www.dailymail.co.uk

Sickening.Told my wife this last night. Joe gets permission from Beijing to shoot it down after it crosses the coast.
1. Joe gets his "Tough on China" merit badge.
2. Ping gets to posture about the evil capitalists for the home market.
3. China of course gets the intel take that was transmitted back, whatever it was.
4. The US shoots it down over water and lo and behold they can't locate the wreckage..... "We found a small debris field floating offshore but the payload appears to have disintegrated on impact."Told my wife this last night.

Yep, they'll play up the huge debris field, so they had to wait til it's over deep water....4. The US shoots it down over water and lo and behold they can't locate the wreckage..... "We found a small debris field floating offshore but the payload appears to have disintegrated on impact."
Watching the free fall on Fox.Just shot it down over the ocean
