What's really interesting is that the missile seems to have hit the payload and NOT the balloon. So, much less forensic evidence to look at........ I would think that a 20mm bullet or a few .50 cal bullets would have been much more forensic friendly. |

Seems this is not the first time for these balloon trips. Just by far the longest one.
Four short trips n the last administration and God knows how many before that. I just hope we get some good Intel out of the wreckage. The Chinese just get bolder all the time

I just hope we get some good Intel out of the wreckage. The Chinese just get bolder all the time I saw that in the news. To prevent spreading of misinformation, can you please tell me what path they took and what dates they floated through our airspace? I was unable to find that information. I also heard that this wasn't the first balloon that came this way during the current administration - one came down close to Hawaii. But I can't confirm the date nor the path so I didn't mention it earlier. |

Well I don't have any way of knowing the exact details. Sen. Tom Cotton blames Obama though

I would think that a 20mm bullet or a few .50 cal bullets would have been much more forensic friendly. Canada tried to shoot down a rogue weather balloon in the late 90s with a 20 mm gun and it didn't let enough air out to bring it down. They then shot small rockets at it and they went right through it without detonating. |

I want to see the grammar on the instruction sheets. I have read a lot of those in my days as a machinist. Our instructor at Makino had the job of editing the manuals written in Japan. |
