I would Shoot it down
next time it hovers [The balloon was spotted over Billings, Montana - close to one of America's three nuclear missile silo fields. Defence officials say the Pentagon has decided not to shoot it down due to risks of harm for people on the ground.] Use a Fast Air Fighter that shoots it so hard not bits land on the ground below it. Spoiler: [The Pentagon said in a statement: “The balloon is currently traveling at an altitude well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground. “Instances of this kind of balloon activity have been observed previously over the past several years. Once the balloon was detected, the US government acted immediately to protect against the collection of sensitive information.”] https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...se-spy-balloon https://news.sky.com/story/chinese-s...tagon-12801851 Life In The Fast Lane Last edited by arista; 13-02-2023 at 05:40 AM. |

China says it is Weather Balloon
that went, off course. [A statement, China's foreign ministry said it was used for "mainly meteorological" purposes. China "regrets the unintended entry" of the balloon into US airspace, it added.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64515033 |

its the size of about 3 buses, so you don't want to shoot at it and have that debris fall to earth. Also, the height its flying at, it wont get a better picture than the chinese can get from their satellites

Yes But this being so large many cameras and weather sensors. Although USA does not trust it is just a weather balloon hence the Blinken Secretary cancelling his trip for now. |

There are some reports that there has been an exploration over Montana.
I'm not sure if it's true or not yet or whether it has anything to do with the balloon or not. |
