UPDATE ADDED 2/24/24
Well, about this time last year, we had a Chinese Spy Balloon overhead. This year instead of Montana we have a Balloon over Utah, making its way through our western States. We don’t know who it belongs to, how it got here, or what it is doing in our airspace.
At a time when there is so much tension in the World with threat of WWIII being uttered and skirmishes occurring on the regular, with millions of military aged men from foreign countries flowing through our border daily, and civil war becoming a reality, we should not be allowing any kind of intrusions on our airspace.
If ANY country knows that they has balloons, drone, spy planes, helicopters, or robot insects flying in or around US airspace without prior permission or without identification once detected… they should expect those to be shot down. That is just my opinion to which I am entitled.
Now, it is likely that our government does not feel the same way because they are guilty of the same incursions.
I don’t know how they are confident that this balloon carries no threat to national security. This balloon could be communicating with the foreign soldiers that have immigrated illegally through our border. Or they could be surveilling our power Grid or other vulnerable pieces of our infrastructure. It could be inventorying our cell Towers. There are countless bits of data it could be collecting that would be critical to an offensive action against our very vulnerable nation.
