Maybe hotline, no better, geotracking app for public to report unknown sky phenomenon? And we, civilian force, need a way to turn in possible foreign trolls on social media. Thanks

Our heros! So, what are you going to do now that you've busted the kids balloon?

[@TheBlackwater200]

Since when do the US cares about people?

[@Sagbotgamot]

It's only the US that insists it is a spy balloon. The chinese are not that stupid to send a slow moving easily detectable balloon to spy on America 😂😂😂. My take is it is just some balloon enthusiast chinese people who flew it and went astray. 😊😊😊

[@grannyappleseed]

Clearly they are that stupid 🙄 smh lol

[@Cheesecake99YearsAgo]

Precisely It is just a weather balloon use for researched Many countries uses similar weather balloon but only China is evil 😆

[@Pfromm007]

The Chinese actually are. Because in authoritarian regimes the decision making and thinking only flows in one direction, thereby making those at the top so isolated from any critical input that they become blind and overtly confident, thinking that a balloon can be undetected over the most technologically advanced military on earth.

Spy balloon 🤣🤣🤣🤣 there is so many spy satellite in outer space 🤣🤣🤣

[@robertgirard1248]

If not easily seen by radar maybe that's a good idea

[@robertgirard1248]

They had to have planes watching it because they couldn't track it by radar

[@wisdombites3586]
