jm1827 279 Posted February 4 Just hearing on Fox, there was a "massive" explosion in the airspace over Montana. Anyone else hear anything about this? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,723 Posted February 4 Did they shoot down the balloon? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gleninjersey 2,037 Posted February 4 Haven't heard anything. Define massive? Like a giant spy ballon popping massive. Missile strike massive. Or EMP detonation massive. "Massive" leaves a lot of room for interpretation.....jus' sayen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10X 3,051 Posted February 4 I thought it was over Missouri by late afternoon today? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gleninjersey 2,037 Posted February 4 2nd "spy ballon" confirmed. Second one is over "Latin" America. Wonder if it's traveling North? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pentagon-another-chinese-spy-balloon-traveling-over-latin-america Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
45Doll 5,157 Posted February 4 57 minutes ago, Krdshrk said: Did they shoot down the balloon? I don't think so, unless the 'second balloon' made it down to Montana already. The original balloon is now over Missouri. The video showed a round smoke cloud high up from which a very long smoke trail headed downward. And it definitely wasn't a contrail. The Montana governor was just on Tucker and he's expecting a briefing shortly. But he didn't know what it was. An ex-Airforce electronics guy explained that a balloon at 60K feet moving slowly can get much higher resolution photos and information than low orbit satellites. Not to mention the electronic tracing. Like, uh, missile silos! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

45Doll 5,157 Posted February 4 BTW that first balloon was last reported over Cape Girardeau Missouri. They're probably scanning for Rush Limbaugh's childhood home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGuns 261 Posted February 4 Video. Ok, so here’s what I just caught I few minutes ago out my window. I saw a jet go by so fast and then explosion in the sky. Holy crap! Billings MT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigGuns 261 Posted February 4 I read a reprot last night that Route 90 in Montana was shut down, and the national guard was on scene, but yeah, nothing to see here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reported where? MT DOT stays very much on top of reporting highway conditions out there--they get some of the worst road conditions in the country. I90 didn't close yesterday, there was a lane closure Feb 3 due to a two car accident, and a bunch of high-wind advisories. https://www.mdt.mt.gov/travinfo/alerts.aspx I've got a good friend in Billings who is unaware of anything odd happening...other than they all knew the balloon passed over the state.

On both ends. What data they are collecting, I don’t know, but we ALL engage in this. Im still in the ‘shoot it down’ camp, but that may be my inner red neck coming out. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was allowed to enter our airspace… float across numerous sensitive places capturing and possibly/likely transmitting information back throughout the journey ……only after it’s completed it job do they do something….to say they “did something”….. maybe hunter brokered another deal between China and the “big guy” filling the family pockets once again….bigger issue ..tells the world do whatever you want and we’ll sit on our hands Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
