They only acknowledged it because civilians saw it lol

I can not walk through airport security without taking the keys out of my pocket, but the government allows an enemy to float a large balloon into US airspace and then travel across the country

[g.b.]

Are they guessing it's a spy balloon? It would be a great way to deliver something harmful.

[nuhumaishanu]

Shooting down the balloon was the right thing to do even if it was a weather balloon. It had no business being in US airspace for several days without the Chinese alerting the US

[dant]

It’s not what’s in the balloon. The fact that they flying over U.S territory carelessly scares me

[pnice]

The administration just gave the balloon citizenship, a bridge card, voter registration and a hotel room.

Balloons don't "hover". Winds aloft are 60+ mph. In 24 hours it should travel 1440 miles to the east. They're blowing smoke and lying out their butt holes.

"You're not gonna see anymore balloons" *immediately another balloon is found flying over Central America. lol.

[AwesomeAndy]

Regardless of what anyone stated, the balloon should never have arrived in the country. What method was used for the balloon's undetected entry into America?

[Iburn]

Why are we allowing a "spy" balloon in our airspace?

[louchandler]

I just want know why our government hasn’t knocked it into oblivion 😡

[bigimportantman]

I’m glad they’re so confident that there’s nothing to worry about.

It’s not like bio-weapons have been delivered with balloons in the past or anything.

Donald Trump allowed more than 3 China balloons but never told the American people.

[rainbocatz]

Hey, yeah, John Brennan has never lied to us!

[offroadllc]

So if no civilians caught this on their smartphones would they have told us? 🤔

[nicholasyoder]

Biden out for a night walk: “Oh would you look at that beautiful moon!”

[CHRIS-jqjj]

General Douglas MacArthur once praised the gallantry and supreme tactical skills of Filipino soldiers during World War II: “Give me 10, 000 Filipino soldiers and I will conquer the world.”

[stevek]

"The one thing you aren't going to see are anymore balloons..." There is now a second balloon flying over Latin America. Way to call that!

[walterrayfield]

How did our government allow this to get over the United States

[punkinhed]

This is what happens when our administration are full of cowardice.
