reality check; the fact that the DoD and american apparatus are telling you about this already means they don't view this as a legit threat. a spy balloon? what is this 1939?

Japanese did this back in the day...
Site of a Japanese Balloon bomb Explosion Dundee Neighborhood Omaha, Nebraska These experimental weapons brought World War II to Nebraska as well as 26 other U.S. states. IN THE CLOSING MONTHS OF World War II, a Japanese balloon bomb exploded in the quiet of the evening sky in the Dundee neighborhood of Omaha, Nebraska. These so-called “fire balloons” were filled with hydrogen and carrying bombs varying from 11 to 33 pounds, and were part of an experimental Japanese military offensive. The bomb that exploded in Omaha on April 18, 1945, was one of more than 9,000 balloons launched during a six-month period at the end of the war, and one of the nearly 300 that were found or observed in the United States. These experimental weapons brought the Second World War closer to home than most Americans realized. But the Dundee explosion, and the larger plan it was a part of, are one of the many little-known incidents marking our time at war. Few people knew a bomb had gone off. Some saw a flash of light and others heard noises they thought were fireworks. But by the next morning, nearly everyone in the neighborhood knew something had happened. Some residents heard the explosion and several others saw it flash as it ignited, according to newspaper reports at the time. One witness described “a ring of fire” in the sky. The plaque commemorating the incident notes: “the incendiary device flared brightly in the night, but caused no damage.” Japanese military leaders deployed these balloon bombs with the hopes of creating panic and widespread media attention, which would allow them to chart courses for future attacks. There were a few reports of explosions published in various outlets, however the U.S. Office of Censorship—a wartime agency set up to censor communications coming in or out of the U.S.—sent messages to all media outlets asking them not to publish news of the balloon bombs. The Dundee explosion, as well as several others, was not reported until after the war had ended. Beyond Nebraska, Japanese balloon bombs were dropped in 26 other states and Mexico. Most of the attacks caused no severe damage or injuries, but one explosion in Oregon two weeks after Dundee resulted in the deaths of a woman and five children when they discovered an unexploded bomb in the woods. Remains of the fire balloons continued to be found after the war, with the most recent discovery made in 2014 in Canada. Know Before You Go The plaque is publicly accessible, mounted to the outside wall of a commercial building on the south side of the street. |

Can we just start shooting at them with .50 cals when they fly over conservative states? If the Biden administration or military isn't going to defend our country from foreign enemies, then it's up to our citizens.
I mean, how would China feel if Americans were using a hot air balloon to fly over their country? I'm sure they wouldn't treat it with kid gloves as we're doing them. |

Is this not considered an act if war? Also, wonder what they report on the media over there (maybe caught us spying and replying ect) Another thought...what if they're making their move and using this as a diversion. Or it's disguised as a ballloon but its a few buses big and really some type of military aircraft ![]() I'm high ![]() Last edited by philly337; 02-02-2023 at 06:00 PM.. | |

They're always spying on each other and historically they only announce the stuff that they can prevent ![]() | |

![]() Country is fu*kkkkkkkkkkkked The FBI is "concerned" by reports that secret "police stations" linked to China have been set up across the US. A September report issued by the NGO Safeguard Defenders revealed the presence of these stations around the world, including in New York. The FBI's director, Christopher Wray, told senior politicians that the agency was monitoring reports of such centres across the country. "We are aware of the existence of these stations," Mr Wray said. "To me, it is outrageous to think that the Chinese police would attempt to set up shop, you know, in New York, let's say, without proper coordination," he added. "It violates sovereignty and circumvents standard judicial and law enforcement cooperation processes." ![]() ![]() Holy sh*t hahha. Last edited by deziking; 02-02-2023 at 05:55 PM.. |
