Fighter jets shot down the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic today after Joe Biden vowed to 'take care of it' and the FAA shutdown three airports in the Carolinas.
The balloon was seen bursting at 2.38pm and its payload - the metal structure carrying its cameras - appeared to have been separated as it plummeted towards the ocean off Myrtle Beach.
The Biden administration confirmed the shoot-down order around 2pm after the President this morning vowed, 'We're gonna take care of it,' as he stepped off Air Force One at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, upstate NY.

After it already transmitted the data it collected while passing over CONUS. Wonder how much one of BiteMe's family got for that delay. It's called shutting the barn door after the horse has already escaped.

He must have gotten the email that the CCP had completed their mission and obtained all the information that they paid for. Until the next time.

right after the balloon transmitters sent all the info back to china. Should have been shot down 2 minutes after it entered USA air space. Oh and a tip of the hat to Canada's PM for allowing the balloon t fly over Canada's and into air space. almost makes one wonder if the PM helped china

14:38? This mission was supported by a ground based Nightwatch aircraft. An E4 departed Warner Robin's at approximately 14:30 based on public data. That's probably not a coincidence. The military has been on top of this thing since it entered NORAD airspace over the Aleutians.

Are we going to salvage the instrument package and then send it back to the Chinese? It's their property, after all.
Sarcasm again.

Sure was nice of Brandon to let the balloon do its dirty work before it was shot down. Never should have gone this long. As soon as it had reached the lower 48 states it should have been destroyed. Thanks Brandon and thanks Hunter.

Did they have to wait for Gen. Milly to let China know what we were going to do before they shot it down? Did China approve of it? I don't trust our government under Traitor Joe and his regime.

Milley finally put down his bottle and informed the draft dodger that the Chinese got all the info they wanted and now it was time to take it down. Under Trump we would have had this thing down days ago and Pompeo would have explained to the American people. Notice how the tottering coward has nothing to say as he 'looks busy' heading for a nothing even in his usual pimp suit and coat.

How convenient.
Get to beat chest over "shooting it down".
While timing it it for the best possible chance of losing or damaging the evidence of what it was, what its capabilities were.

Destroying the evidence.

Deep water will no doubt prevent recovery of the payload. Same general area, 100+ years to find the ironclad civil war ship, Monitor. FJB

#15 If Trump was still president the CCP would not even consider sending the balloons. Since is the third time they did it the Biden flunkies would have gotten away with it if it were not for a heroic man from Montana.

Glad to see the other L-Dotters think the same thing I do. Biden was “allowed” to shoot down the balloon after it had completed its mission.
We’re not idiots. Why do they think we’re idiots? We’re not fooled.

Big deal, not. Too little too late. You let that damn piece of spyware float across the US collecting data. And then you had to shoot it down before it left American air space. Alaska is where you should have brought it down. But I guess that wasn't in the China instructions. FJB needed to have the check in the mail and had to follow orders. Now FJB and his minions will try to convince us that FJB is so brave, don't mess with me, the right guy to run for re-election. Yeah, right. Corn Pop be shaking in his boots tonight.

Why do I think that this balloon device was transmitting information to the CCP for the last number of days.

China probably blew it up themselves after its mission was complete, and told the idiots in charge when and where it would happen. Wouldn't surprise me.
Just more evidence as to who owns the usurper squatting in the WH.

This does make a person wonder why China or Russia would blow their money on missiles when a balloon would be so much cheaper to deliver any payload they wished to send.

Like Former SEAL commander pointed out, this was a balloon. A BALLOON, not a hypersonic missile. Biden's decision-making faculties cannot even react to a balloon that takes a week to cross the US. This argument needs to be hammered home to the voters in the 2024 election.

This isn't the first Chicom Spy Balloon. This is only the one we know about by chance. Bribery by our enemies of the top echelon of the the current illegal administration, the top ranking officers in all three branches of the military, and of course both the Senate and the House, both parties. The Chicoms are certainly getting their moneys worth from all the traitors of what used to be our country. Tens of millions of our fellow Americans are going to get killed.
Need to erect gallows on the steps of the Capitol Building to handle this overflow of traitors.

Five thoughts:
1. It was allowed to collect data for days or weeks before being shot down. Wouldnt it have been more economical to just allow the Chinese free run of your garage for the day?
2. Shot down over salt water, guaranteeing that the electronics are now non-functional. Thus, we will be assured that it was just an errant weather balloon. Just like Roswell.
3. They sent up an F22 against a Balloon and wasted a missile. What..... the Goodyear blimp with a BB gun wasn't available???
4. They could have punched a few holes in the balloon with bullets and allowed it to slowly descend to be easily picked up by any hot air enthusiast. But.....that wouldn't allow the Chinese to capture and transmit data while crossing the entire country, and for the evidence to be destroyed in salt water.
5. Biden is so incompetent that he can't even handle a flipping balloon.

Cover up. Drop it where it either won't be recovered, or where no civilians might see it and get to it before the military can get there to cover up the real mission.
Nothing that the Traitor Joe cabal puts out is fact. Never.

Re #33. You misunderstand. It's not "Slow Joe" it's "Traitor Joe". They didn't WANT to shoot it down before it completed it's mission, or where a civilian might get to take some photos of it before the military could get there to cover it up.
Had to drop it in the ocean.
Treasonous folks running the country.

FJB is a weak, compromised fool who through his son’s and his own greed is owned by the corrupt CHICOMS. They know it and we here in America who possess common sense(non Biden voters) know it. My guess the reasons why it took so long to deal with the China spy balloon is the check cleared and Xi gave Brandon permission. I submit to you as long as the Joetard is in my WH WE THE PEOPLE are at risk from enemies especially foreign ones.
