U.S. Navy combing 7-mile debris field for downed Chinese spy balloon



The balloon was shot down Saturday afternoon by a single missile from a F-22 fighter jet. Some lawmakers are praising President Biden for downing the suspected surveillance craft, while others are criticizing him for waiting too long to act. Now the race is on to retrieve what remains of the balloon.

  1. That is why he is pres and that man is not

  2. Another Pandora's box, don't whine when china do the same

  3. Does anyone think we’ll ever find out what the payload contains? We’ll wait for it, I’m guessing it’s not fortune cookies.

  4. wow so much coordination you allowed it to scan canada and all of the united stated in the sky for a month then decide to shoot it down! swift action biden real swift! you cant even find the door to the john!

  5. If it was an alleged "civilian balloon" China was very irresponsible for not communicating that it was missing. If an object accidentally entered Chinese airspace I'm confident that they would have vaporized it. Regardless, let's stop outsourcing and buying products made in China!

  6. do you really think their sending balloons if satellites are so abundant hmmmm

  7. Convenient for China that USA waited until the balloon was over the ocean to shoot it down..why was there a wait period?

  8. Self distrust at 10 thousand feet

  9. Just like America…pull gun and shoot. What's good for the goose ISNT good for the gander. USA can negotiate with Taiwan to place the military in their country, and China makes a political move to float balloon to test American government reaction. Yes "shoot em up" was quite predictable. 🤫

  10. China says thank you for letting us retrieve all the information before you shot it down

  11. United States should have used aircraft gun as soon as it stepped into us 🇺🇸 airspace on day 1 jan 28th 2023. Too late and too expensive

  12. "We had to wait until it was safe??" Seriously?? Then even more of a reason to shoot it dwn in Alaska … or Montana … do people really buy this? It took em that long to wake up ol sleepy Joe and feed him his pudding cups … at least half of the females on my staff are females. Clown.

  13. Wait a second … they did it AFTER it passed over the ENTIRE country?? What?

  14. Our military and our government let us a Chinese spy balloon Cross are entire country on interrupted. Could be dropping poison on us emps you name it. Looks like we have a government and a military full of traitors.

  15. Gop is a joke in your town!

  16. What you need to focus on is the fact that all the people in this country think it's a big joke. You also need to shut up

  17. Good Lord… political party constant fighting is not leadership. It doesn’t absolve the criminality of trump. No one is guiding the Nation. First the republicans break every rule of law, then throws out flack to cover themselves, ie, a balloon?? This requires all Senators? Please.

  18. You can hear the Americans like “yeah, shoot it”.. 🙄

  19. The Chinese need the detailed imagery for targeting purposes for the war over Taiwan.

  20. Remember God loves you♥️!
    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏.
    He is coming back soon🥳…..

  21. Second question what is America doing in similar fashion, no doubt you will get a tricky answer. James in America Chicago ✊👊🤔🤨🧐💌

  22. Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free 42

  23. What is America doing over china land and sea? If you cannot think for yourself than um? James in America Chicago ✊👊🤔🤨🧐💌

  24. Mark my words.China will be the downfall of America. We have Chinese who work in high government and private sector whi are affiliated with CCP forgot the vallon they have always infitrirated us. Even Chinese who are born here are affiliated with CCP this is deeper then what people think watch who we hire and stop immigration from China ASAP.

  25. From 'spy' to spy. as far as the concern of spreading disinformation and brainwash, US media is truly second to none.

    “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie”.
    Joseph Goebbels

  26. I knew that military issued BB gun would be the key to winning the war.

  27. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! No, it's a balloon.., pop!

  28. No information adjoined to the aerial object should be released in any way as being part of National Security.

  29. No “China-civilian” Balloons over NYC please, especially after 9/11 🎈

  30. It was Amazon testing a new delivery technology…

  31. In congress everybody will make himself hero.becouse of balloon 🎈. Thanks💐

  32. Haven't you guys heard or rowield
