I swear, Joseph Heller would be proud. That or he might sue this administration for copyright infringement.

Bunch of assclowns.

White House says it may never be able to identify three objects shot down after China’s surveillance craft

The White House said Friday that American's shouldn't be worried that the skies are "full of attack balloons," but also admitted that the Biden administration can't promise it will ever be able to "definitively" identify the three unidentified aerial objects shot down by U.S. military assets.

The recovery of the first object/balloon is complete, and the recovered artifacts are on their way to an FBI lab in Virginia for analysis.

I'm surprised - I would have thought they would just ship the remains back to China right away.
I have absolutely NO confidence in the integrity or competence of our government at ANY level.

I'm worried we have a president and government "full of administrative buffoons". They can't even get balloons right.

OMG I would fly that in my front yard if I could, but not before I painted FJB on the Flying Donald's chest or maybe Beijing or Bust!

‘Large White Balloon’ Spotted Northeast of Hawaii, Air Traffic Control Confirms

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...ic-control-confirms/

Air Traffic Control (ATC) confirmed that a “large white balloon” has been spotted just northeast of Hawaii.

The Oakland Oceanic Air Traffic Control Center said on Sunday that a white ballon was spotted over the Pacific Ocean just 594 miles northeast of Honolulu.

“The balloon was reported to be flying at an altitude of roughly 40,000 to 50,000 feet (12,000 to 15,000 meters). ‘Advice [air traffic control] if object is seen,’ the message to pilots said,” per NO News. “The coordinates in the message put the balloon in international airspace in an area where the U.S. handles air traffic control.”

The spotted balloon, which may or may not be a benign object, comes after the United States shot down a Chinese spy balloon that floated over the United States after it entered Montana through Canada

A recent assessment reportedly found that the Chinese spy balloon that traversed the United States months ago used an American internet service provider to communicate.

An NBC News report published Thursday regarding the information cited two current and one former U.S. official familiar with the assessment.

The article noted:

"The balloon connected to a U.S.-based company, according to the assessment, to send and receive communications from China, primarily related to its navigation. Officials familiar with the assessment said it found that the connection allowed the balloon to send burst transmissions, or high-bandwidth collections of data over short periods of time."

President Joe Biden’s administration reportedly tried to obtain a “highly secretive” court order to gather intelligence about the device as it hovered over the United States, the outlet said, adding that the court’s ruling remained a mystery.

The order “would have allowed U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct electronic surveillance on the balloon as it flew over the U.S. and as it sent and received messages to and from China, the officials said, including communications sent via the American internet service provider,” the NBC report noted.

The company has denied that the Chinese device used its network. The outlet did not reveal the provider’s name to protect its sources’ identities.

It is important to note that the Biden administration had reportedly hoped to keep the Chinese spy balloon incident a secret, according to a recent Breitbart News report.

A wireless internet connection/provider with the capability to utilize burst transmissions? I am not fully briefed on this stuff, is it possible?
And burst transmissions are a form of encryption, right?

Where's IAWB

I agree with Greg. Can anyone tell me a reason not to?

You want to kill our beloved fellow member?

Massive cell phone issues, and a new weather balloon being tracked?
Or is this just a conspiracy theory?

Not sure but Joe Biden just said he has rigorous boot knocking sex with his wife. So yea it could be a Bona fide (little f) conspiracy theory.

When it comes to China there are no coincidences
