The US military has shot down 4 flying objects over North American airspace over the past 8 days.

3 of the objects remain unidentified as of late Sunday, and were separately shot down within 3 days.

Here’s what we know so far about these 4 objects👇 theepochtimes.com/what-we-know-a…
Feb. 4: #ChineseSpyBalloon Shot Down
The 1st object was initially reported as unidentified until US officials said it was a Chinese surveillance balloon.

The @WhiteHouse and Pentagon said the balloon had violated US sovereignty by entering US airspace without permission.
The 200 feet-tall balloon was first reported after being seen by civilians in #Montana, after which it was allowed to traverse across the US, despite the maneuverable balloon passing over the site of sensitive airbases and strategic nuclear missile silos.

I joined my pal @billwaltonshow to discuss the #UkraineRussianWar , the dreaded #ChineseSpyBalloon , how #BidenWorstPresidentEver and leading us to our ruin, and the end of America's hegemony & rise of a multipolar order. Please LIKE & SHARE!
@billwaltonshow 2/ The Chinese sent a satellite balloon hovering ominously across the entire United States as it presumably took surveillance photos. Strangely, the Biden Administration, which is all in to defend the borders of Ukraine, refused to protect America’s own airspace.
3/ Why wasn’t it shot down sooner?

1. Kirby said during a press briefing that the White House that the object, which was much smaller than the spy balloon shot down last week, was about the size of a car.
2. The “high-altitude object” was brought down Friday afternoon on the northeast portion of Alaska near the Canadian border over water that is frozen, Kirby said during the briefing. It was first seen by officials Thursday evening.

1. For the #ChineseSpyBalloon to fly to the #US, the accuracy of the wind field forecast and modeling data is an important prerequisite to carry out autonomous flight decision and simulation analysis, which applies multi-source meteorological data such as direct observation data ImageImageImageImage
2. medium- and long-term forecast data, historical reanalysis data, and proximity forecast data. Oceanic and atmospheric forecast data for Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas must be available.
The real-time data used by the #ChineseSpyBalloon mainly include forecast data and

Thoughts about the #Chinesespyballoon, intel history, and lessons learned. A thread.
Q1: Why did the US in 1960 (when a U2 was shot down over the USSR) and the Chinese last week say that spy activities were weather missions when everyone quickly knew it wasn't true?
The answer is fig leaves can often be very useful b/c official acknowledgement of truth can escalate a crisis. After the Soviets invaded Af, the US launched a covert op to arm the Mujahideen.The Soviets knew, & we knew that they knew. But both superpowers pretended otherwise.
1 reason was to keep the proxy war from becoming an all-out war between the US and Soviet Union that could have gone nuclear. But in both the U2 and spy balloon incidents, the fig leaf strategy backfired, for 3 reasons.

#CCP has quietly passed its Reserve Military Service Law, which will take effect on 3/1/2023.
Anyone who is 18 years or older is obliged to enlist after a national defense mobilization is announced. "After receiving the call-up notice, reservists must report to

1. As early as 2015, #CCP successfully flew its stratospheric airship "Yuanmeng (Dream)”.
It has continuous power, can monitor the ground 10 times better than satellites, act as a #wartime communication support & attack platform, and is difficult for missiles
2. and aircraft to reach & attack, according to this propaganda video.
Yuanmeng is the pronunciation of the Chinese word 圆梦, which means “a dream comes true”.
Hasn’t #XiJinping always talked about his “#ChinaDream”? The name of this stratospheric airship reflects
3. the #CCP’s “dream” to conquer the world.
You know what? While the West calls #ChineseSpyBalloon a “balloon”, the CCP has been using “#airship” (飞艇) to refer to the flying object that was shot down by the #US.

Okay lets go over this. Department of Defense said in a statement Feb. 4, 2023 The official said Chinese balloons briefly transited the continental United States at least three times during the prior administration.
BRIEFLY- for a short time: (Trump)
SEVERAL DAYS-undetermined number of days (vague) (BIDEN)
a few days = 3 or more days
The statement goes on further to say. The official said. "This was a PRC surveillance balloon. This surveillance balloon purposely traversed the United States and Canada, and we are confident it was seeking to monitor sensitive military sites."

🚨"Breaking Down the Buzz: The Truth About Chinese Spy Balloons"

[THREAD🧵]

1) A spy balloon is essentially a balloon filled with gas that floats high in the sky, equipped with advanced cameras & imaging technology for gathering information.

#ChineseSpyBalloon
2) How do these Balloons controlled?

Spy balloons are typically controlled remotely using radio frequency signals.

By controlling, someone can direct the balloon's movements, adjust its altitude, and control the cameras and other technologies onboard.
3) Why spying using Balloons but not satellites?

Satellites have some limitations, such as creating blurry images if they are positioned far away in high orbit & not being able to remain stationary if they are a low earth satellite, making it difficult to capture clear photos.

T Dawg Spy Services, how can I help you?

Ok. It does seem like a pretty good idea. First. A balloon is uncontrollable. So if you sent it from China, you cannot say WHAT part of USA you will see. This might be a 'bit' of a hindrance for the spying

#ChineseSpyBalloon
Then its going to be big. As in huge. Very 'visible' as we say in the trade. In this 'spying' thing, it is not a good thing to be seen

[listens]

Yes, exactly like James Bond. No, actually not at all like James Bond, everybody knows he is a famous spy. I mean 'secret' agent
[listens]

Next thing in this reconnaissance vehicle is payload. A regular weather balloon can lift about ... 8 pounds (4 kg). If you wanted to put spy camera gear, long telephoto lenses, recording devices, you'd need a giant balloon say 100 feet (33m) in diameter - enormous

I don't think we can rule out mega-error as the source of the #ChineseSpyBalloon . Whether it was launched for "research" or "intelligence" purposes, it may never have been intended for Montana skies.
Here's my thinking (thread).
In the last week of January China --

THREAD🚨 #ChineseSpyBalloon

Similar high-altitude surveillance balloons and airships have previously been spotted over Hawaii, Japan, India, and the Phillipines.
2) @TuckerCarlson: "The Pentagon is tracking a very high altitude Chinese spy balloon over the northern US. The Pentagon has decided to not shoot down the balloon even though it's flying over 'sensitive sites.' There are intercontinental ballistic missile silos in that area."
3) The same type of reconnaissance balloon was spotted over Sendai, Japan, on June 17, 2020.

Japanese officials said:

"We have absolutely no idea what it is. It may be some kind of weather monitoring equipment, but it definitely isn’t ours."

This is an important thread as the man describes what is going on and the attacks that we are under so please watch and share all of the videos.

The US is being destroyed (mainly from within) because our middle class and constitution stand in the way of global governance.
The Club of Rome is about degrowth and depopulation. In order to transition to global technocratic governance, the US must be destroyed. There is a reason our middle class is being decimated.
The technocrats always talk about 2030 and 2050. The 2030 agenda is essentially a check point on the status of obtaining total global transformation by 2050. They also talk about sustainability. Most people think that relates to the climate but it is about depopulation.

A spy balloon the size of three buses(with a technology bay)from China has been surveilling the United States

The U.S. government has discussed shooting it out of the sky

It was spotted over Billings, Montana, on Wednesday. Image
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has postponed a visit to China that had been expected to start on Friday

China says alleged spy balloon spotted over US is "civilian airship" used mainly for weather monitoring, which went off-course. Image
Literally every regular person I know is talking about how to shoot down the Chinese Spy Balloon

It would be great if an average Joe shot it down because China Joe won’t

Regular Americans can do everything better than the government and actually care about our country.-@RepMTG
