According to the Associated Press, Joe Biden is planning to shoot down the Chinese ‘surveillance’ balloon possibly later today when it reaches the eastern shore of the Atlantic Ocean.
The mumbling mumbler who mumbles said, “We’re going to take care of it”, when asked about the ongoing issue earlier today. WATCH:
(Via Associated Press) – WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is considering a plan to shoot down a large Chinese balloon suspected of conducting surveillance on the U.S. military, by bringing it down once it is above the Atlantic Ocean where the remnants could potentially be recovered, according to four U.S. officials.
Two of the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operation, said President Joe Biden had given the go-ahead. In a brief remark Saturday in response to a reporter’s question about the balloon, Biden said: “We’re going to take care of it.”
The balloon was spotted Saturday morning over the Carolinas as it approached the Atlantic coast. In preparation for the operation, the Federal Aviation Administration temporarily closed airspace over the Carolina coastline, including the airports in Charleston and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Wilmington, North Carolina, until at least 2:45 p.m. EST Saturday. The FAA was rerouting air traffic from the area and warned of delays as a result of the flight restrictions.
Officials were aiming to time the operation so they could recover as much of the debris as possible before it sinks into the ocean. The Pentagon had previously estimated that the balloon, flying at about 60,000 feet in the air, was about the size of three school buses and that any debris field would be substantial. (read more)
(AP) In this photo below provided by Brian Branch, a large balloon drifts above the Kingston, N.C. area, with an airplane and its contrail seen below it. The United States says it is a Chinese spy balloon moving east over America at an altitude of about 60,000 feet (18,600 meters), but China insists the balloon is just an errant civilian airship used mainly for meteorological research that went off course due to winds and has only limited “self-steering” capabilities.
Google Disclaimer: Image Above – Not the real balloon
Are we sure it’s THE BALLOON? Weren’t there several up? The balloon they took down looks like it has a lot less superstructure underneath than what we saw before. Weren’t there several balloons up? I wouldn’t put it past our .gov to put up their own fake white balloon during the night last night, then wait for full light so everyone could see they took down the BAD BALLOON.
I wish I didn’t have cause to agree with you, Sophie, but agree with you I do.
You think the government would do THAT??? shame on you…LOL
I hate thinking you might be right.
The most probable of all theories…..
Obviously not a priority. That should tell you something.
Off the coast of South Carolina . . . all the way from Montana?
If Braindead Brandon has one iota of intelligence (debatable), he will instruct the military to puncture this balloon so that it descends to a “soft” landing in the Atlantic … where a NASA space capsule ship can grab it and take it ashore for inspection.
Not gonna happen….cos its just a weather balloon……..thats all….
It happened.
I don’t know how much they can learn from the balloon itself. But the spying equipment supposedly is the size of a bus and falling 60,000 ft. into the ocean would destroy it. I figure that worthless president waited until it was over the Atlantic so there wouldn’t be anything left. They said if it fell on land, like Montana, the spying equipment could conceivably be examined.
Put a couple .38 slugs in the balloon and then let nature take its course.
I’m sure the spy balloon was transferring the data as it collected it…any stored data in the balloon, our enemy already has. I think everyone in the Biden Regime are wearing the same shoes..Bozo’s.
If Braindead Brandon has one iota of intelligence
hahahaha
Monkey Werx is always tracking flight info. YouTube. Great graphics.
The latest on the balloon 🎈 is definitely worth watching.
He calls DC the Senior Living Facility…..
It’s pretty interesting, educational and informative to watch all the activity.
Is that a contrail or a chemtrail? Most contrails I’ve observed disappear Shortly after exhaust. Chemtrails linger for a long time!
Now that it’s accomplished its mission.
btw, we have balloons over Chy-Na.
But only so the Bidens can sell that data, too.

and Joe thinks he has done something special………………….
These kids understand physics at an astonishing level. What will they be when they grow up??
Had to raugh out roud at the pic of the barroon. Good one.
Don’t Worry Trump took care of it
https://truthsocial.com/users/KellyCurrie45/statuses/109808101860953948
🤣 🤣 Good shot, Mister President!
Any news of activity suggesting they are attempting recovery before the pieces sink? Any ships in the area?
wait until it makes its way across the entire country and it’s no longer a threat then shoot it down. Masterful numbnuts 🤦♀️🙄
I bet everyone who’s got a TV in China has been watching this nonsense and laughing their heads off.
And if they didn’t know it before, they know it now: we’re f*cking idiots over here.
We can banter all day long about Trump or DeSantis will win and no one supports whatever democrat they throw up there. Here’s the problem, unless 5 states fix their voting machine issues we will have another wingnut democratic president. PA, MI, GA, AZ, and NV, while others exist these are the states that ripped us off the last time.
Word.
People need to start putting energy towards fixing voting r/t speculating about “what ifs” WRT 2024.
I just attended my first Grassroots R meeting in PA..signed up for voter roll clean up committee.
Yes!!!
All honest Americans thank you!
Well supposedly its down-not that it matters now. Great job obiden-uggg.
Love the image -totarry made me laugh.
They are going to take care of it? After it has traversed the US and gathered all its’ data. Forewarned enough to download the data so it’s not a big loss for them? They’ll call Biden when they are done.
Why not just leave the weather balloon alone?
Because the Biden documents will get too much attention.
It’s lose -lose for Biden — Not the distraction they were hoping for….
Weather Ballon-Test Run
Spy Balloon-Treason
made a meme
moved it to the top
Oh, they will. Like the backlog at the docks in CA. Out of sight, out of mind.
Mission Accomplished! 🤡🤡🤡
FJB
just reported shot down after mission completed, presumably
It’s coming down.
Take it down after it has crossed the US and gathered and transmitted all the data.
Biden Planning to Bring Down Chinese ‘Surveillance’ Balloon Over Atlantic after it finishes its surveillance run!
Mission complete, narrative set, evidence destroyed …(or the excuse for not answering any annoying questions)
Just waiting to see what the mission actually was.
Balloon was made from condoms found at U of Penn along with classified documents taken by China.
Oh sure, NOW they do something, now that it has already trasmitted overhead photos of every military base it got anywhere even close to as well as a gazillion jigabytes of communication data from those bases that it scooped up and forwarded to China. The horse isn’t already out of the barn. It left the barn, hopped a flight to China, and is now sipping a drink in Peking after it pushed a self-destruct button to burn the barn down along with all evidence of how it escaped in the first place.
The only relevant question at this point is how the bloody F’ing hell it ever got INTO American air space in the first place. American military saw it coming well before it got here, and SOMEONE made the decision to let it in. WHO WAS THAT? WHAT IS HIS NAME AND RANK AND WHICH STOCKADE IS HE CURRENTLY SITTING IN WHILE HE AWAITS COURT MARTIAL?
Shoot the damn thing down already.
It is far harder than you would think to shoot down a stratospheric balloon. The air pressure is low, the balloon material is as thin as saran wrap. You could hit it with a machine gun using large caliber rounds and it won’t deflate. You can fire missiles but they too may not work and they have to come down somewhere. Maybe one of those hellfire ninja kinetic missiles would work, tearing large holes in the balloon. You also have to get a jet to a high enough altitude to hit the balloon and it’s at 60,000+ feet which is considerably above most aircraft altitude limits. So it needs to be a specialized aircraft. The missiles would have to be able to travel the distance and altitude to even hit the balloon.
The US has used spy balloons many times in the past. NASA has one that can reach 120,000 feet more than double the Chinese balloon. The balloon is MASSIVE it could be the size of a large football stadium. The payload could be the size of a few city busses.
I think high energy lasers might work… Fired from a Navy ship, high altitude aircraft or the ground.
Did you see the video of it being shot down? Looked pretty straight forward. Not sure what was used (it was an F-22 but not sure what weapon) but it could be heard from the ground and it looked like one and done.
Yet somehow they managed to shoot it down today. Bless your heart.
Perhaps it took all week to concoct a weapon that could take it down.
Yes. The brand new F22.
Another scandal that will blow by like all the others.
We have a long time before the 2024 election and there will be many more balloon type events that will happen but won’t be seen.
This was all planned to be seen as you will see after it blows over.
I just had a great idea for a video game. The kids are gonna love it.
This is all fine and dandy, but we would learn a lot about this situation if we could see the recovery process of the balloon.
I want to see if the military personnel who recover the wreckage are wearing BSL-4 Positive Pressure Personnel suits/hazmat suits.

How bout we sink these things in the other side Ocean?? (Dumb asses)
(And be smart enough to capture one and see what the hell they’re to us.)
(and then tell US (TRUTH) what’s going on!)
Great idea Joe.. Let it cross the Country first…
Maximum Benefits of an EMP would occur blowing it in the middle of the US – not close to the Canadian border in Montana…
So they listened to Trump for once?
Frankly, a pathetic display by letting it get out of US airspace before doing what they did.
Every time I think my maximum level of contempt for this administration has been reached,they manage to exceed it. I have no doubt that it was not shot down until China said it was ok to do so.
I’ll wager a large order of Peking Ravioli (fried) that when they blow it up, it explodes in a shower of shiny confetti and delicious bite-size, individually-wrapped sweets.
The US Govt is spying in us WITH the Chinese Govt.
Do not be fooled.
Expect more of these to pass over cataloging every home in America.
You think Google Earth is cool? The level of detail in this surveillance will make Snowden’s intel look like a game.
No one who has read: “Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win” can be surprised by the inaction of our doltish, demented, perverted CinC.
But of course.
Its work is done. It has surveyed the Nation.
Biden just said he told the military to shoot it down on Wednesday, and they advised to wait until it was over a safe location to avoid risk to people on the ground. In other words, 2 days after it had entered US airspace and was over Montana. Most significantly, it was after the news reports revealed it was there. A POLITICAL decision, based on adverse news coverage, not national security or national sovereignty.
Their stories keep changing. I don’t believe any of them.
Just in time for the Sunday Morning Propaganda Circle to laud the bold and decisive leadership displayed by COOTUS while advertising electronic devices drowning in spyware.
What’s really scary is the depth and breadth of the decision tree that must be navigated before anything can be done about a threat to our country. 😧
Watched when it was shot down…commentator for Fox Now says, “How embarrassing for China to have this balloon shot down,” and I’m thinking, “How embarrassing that our own military let it enter our airspace to begin with.” The Biden Regime will get us all killed…but that’s their plan, isn’t it?
Some PLA Colonel just got the promotion of his life.
I saw it too. Laughable and disgusting.
Biden says he ordered Gen Milley to shoot down the Chinese Spy Balloon on Wednesday. Did they refused to obey his order? Why the delay? Did Gen Milley check with China before shooting down the Chinese Spy Balloon ( Distraction- while Biden has a document issue)
Under President Trump :
Milley admits he would tell Chinese general if US launched an attack
https://nypost.com/2021/09/29/milley-admits-he-would-tell-china-if-us-launched-an-attack/
Also—Someone needs to ask Joe Biden what is the day of the week.
So it’s down now. They hit it at about 42 minutes into this report
I don’t believe any of these stories coming out.
Not. One. Word.
Why would you?
Mockingbird media steering the narrative.
It’s not even a GOOD psyops.
Interesting thought
TRUTHlaralogan
Not surprised that the folks at Fort Bragg, North Carolina were not about to let a Chinese aerostat sweep up their information. Who’s paying attention?
NOW – U.S. military has just shot down the Chinese spy airship over the Atlantic Ocean after letting it fly over the country for days.

US fighter jets shoot down Chinese balloon
https://www.newsnationnow.com/world/chinese-balloon-latest-update/
…retired Maj. Gen. Larry Stutzriem, director of research for the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, made the case to NewsNation’s Leland Vittert that the alleged Chinese spy balloon is so close to land, it’s capturing much clearer images than a satellite ever could.
“There was a statement out of the Pentagon about, ‘Hey, the Chinese could get all this by satellite.’ Well, no. The satellites are up about 350 miles,” he said. “This thing’s around 12 miles, and so you can see cat whiskers from that balloon if it’s instrumented correctly.”
What’s a clown show without balloons.
Making it crash on Mar-a-Lago will be the tough part.
Stay out of it. Your negativity diminishes your postured intelligence.
As does yours.
Xi Jinping memo to Mr. Joe:
We got all the data we needed from our cross-country spy balloon. Go ahead and shoot it down to make yourself look good, like you’re in control.
Your Puppeteer,
Xi Jinping
Chairman Xi Jinping’s huge CCP donations to the Biden crime family paid off bigly.
The ‘big guy’ Biden, is Chairman Xi’s puppet.
Biden allowed the Chinese spy balloon to fly over U.S. territory from Alaska east
to South Carolina sending back intelligence
information directly to the CCP. Looks like a swell deal for China, a great money deal for Biden, and a sellout of America by the Democrat Biden regime.
Xi Jinping to advisor:
Did we get all the information that we need?
Advisor:
Yes, the balloon operation has been a success.
Xi Jinping:
So, what did we learn?
Advisor:
It’s 34F and snowing in Montana.
