So many things wrong with this story.
“Not shooting it down because of danger of falling debris...”
Ummm... how much debris would a balloon have and what’s it gonna hit in western
Montana???

So. There just gonna let it collect data. What country is this anymore. What if they are marking coordinates instead. This is a national security risk. It's needs to be collected.

Taxpayers spend 20 million on a F15 fighter jet and our military cant stop a Alibaba Hot Air balloon from terrorizing the country.

The presence of a foreign government's surveillance assets in another country's airspace can sometimes raise concerns about sovereignty and national security.

Our military officials and the Pentagon is a bunch of jokes. No wonder we forget about them when they come back from war.

I never understand why these news stations expose the state and area of our militaries nuclear zone. Stupidity all for viewers. This is not a good sign.

Didn’t Canada report on it??? No one says anything about Canada yet that’s the route this thing came from. Canada just didn’t notice or what?
