welp the only way that could happen is over Canada, guess we will have to nuke their asses too.

Some bear hunter in Montana is gonna murk that thing

Going to be directly over my house in the morning. I am absolutely shooting at it

 

[Jayhacker]

Surely someone has a SAM set up in their backyard for times like this.

If you don't motion to ban.

 

[MalO]

If they didn't get an approved flight path over the USA it should be shot down.

 

[Taggart]

@ChingChongDingDong why you launch barroon over US of A?

 

[Mr.Fitzwell]

@kek and if it was approved, then whoever approved it should be executed

 

[TopHook]

How high is it?

[champsballs]

How high is it?

Too high for any ammo I have.
Was directly over for a little bit this morning after the sun came up then it drifted off fast to the east

A poster at ATS is kicking around the idea that "Chinese Spy Balloon" is the cover story. It's something the public will readily accept and meanwhile they don't know what it is. Some posters are saying there is a lot of air force activity right now, like they are getting ready for something.

China landed a rover on the Moon. They could send up a spy satellite. Why would they float a balloon over us?

You might expect a spy balloon from North Korea.

 

[MalO]

They're saying it's up in the stratosphere, like 30 miles up. Most planes can't get close.

Would one of the laser weapons being tested by the Navy reach that high?

So I can't shoot it down with my BB gun? Damn

At lower altitudes (I believe) lasers have a hard time reaching past 4-8km range

I’m not sure how the higher altitudes affect attenuation (reduction in power), but it would definitely be less of a loss in power

Traditional aircraft generally cruise at 30,000ft which is roughly 9km. The SR-71 Blackbird, which is going to be one of the (if not the) highest altitude aircraft cruises at 24 km

30 miles is close to 50km.



So if we assume a laser could be effective at least twice as far (16km) equipped on an aircraft that can reach higher altitudes (24km) you are still going to be 10km short of effecting the balloon if it really is 30 miles high.

I have no doubt technology could overcome those challenges, but highly doubt there is any laser solution readily available that could take that out if it’s 30 miles.

 

[AgEngDawg]

Anybody else having flashbacks to baloon boy?

 

[shiv]

I guess a feasible solution would be to send another ballon up equipped with some kind of effector and you could take it down relatively easy, but don’t know if we would have something like that laying around

Something Blew up in the Sky in Billings, Montana where the spy balloon was seen last night. We know the balloon moved through Kansas today, so what’s up here?

I’d pump her full of cum to help her out

First person view from the balloon when it flew over Knoxville this evening

I hope that balloon wasn’t/isn’t carrying the latest and greatest Chinese virus...

 

[hmt5000]

Balloon is at the height that an emp would detonate at. Could be a dry run to see how we react.

Excellent point. That’s my greatest fear for a mass casualty/TEOTWAWKI event. I read the book One Second After a few years back. Great book. It lays out what would happen after an EMP attack pretty graphically (and accurately). There’s a couple of follow on books in the series, but I haven’t read them yet. They are on my to do list.

 

[Timothy]

Maybe it is activating those seeds they mailed us a cuppla years back

 

[TheNJNole]

What explosion?
