China Spy Balloon over US

It’s embarrassing that the people in charge of our national security have let them get this far into the US. Supposedly we’ve know it’s flown from Aleutian Islands and now over Montana. I can’t understand why we should be so worried about shooting them out of the sky—I guess we’ll wait until they get to NYC and put them up in a hotel free like all the other illegals.

I wonder where over MT and what altitude.
MTShawn has a .338. :unsure:

Another one of Hunter's laptops :unsure:

Hmmm. Or a nuke for an EMP. Altitude is right. :oops:

That's why this makes no sense. Why would anyone send a balloon when you could just use satellite?

Kinda wonder if it is China tbh. It could just as likely be Putin and attributing it to China would be a political move.

Well we must have been watching them pretty close. There were 3 tankers in the air at once over Northern MT.

I kinda remember we kinda had some really important stuff around Billings Montana. Seems like it had to do with NORAD. I could be wrong
And what could be on a weather balloon that would endanger the civilian population 👇. Interesting 🤔 series of coincidences I'm sure.
Not Billings but, close.

I usually have a monitor with the ADS-B tracking up in my work shed. Lots of military aircraft flying over and I like to see whats out there.

About a week ago at about 7:30pm when it was dark, a low-flying jet went overhead. I was outside and saw that it had no nav lights on at all, was flying dark. I couldn't make out exactly what it was, but from the sound, I think it was an F-22. I looked at my ADS-B display and there was an "unknown" type aircraft moving at 400 Kts at about 2500 feet. It had just appeared on the ATS-B tracking site moments earlier in an outlying area. There was another unknown type that appeared to the west about 50 miles, same altitude and airspeed. Both circled to the north and came in and landed at Ft. Worth Joint reserve base (old Carswell AFB).

Friday at about 8pm I noticed about a dozen unknown aircraft all around the greater DFW area all with similar airspeed and altitudes. They all disappeared off the tracking at the same time, not anywhere near airfields. I also have noticed the last 2 weeks that there has been alot of EAM (Emergency Action Messages) being broadcast on the Air Combat Command frequencies in my scanner. This has been a first hearing them on those frequencies and not just on the shortwave frequencies.

Not sure if any of this is related, but something is definitely up.

I noticed the same thing, low and fast, just after 8pm, on a school night. What I've noticed over the few years I've lived here is, other than trainers and cargo, nobody flies without a wingman. They always fly in pairs. Even if you get one going super-cruise, his buddy will pass over shortly after. Not on that night. Thinking back, I also saw a lot of commercial flying around my way, especially low. Last time I saw that was October-ish, when the GPS outage hit.
