In a blow up of the photo you can clearly see a lawn chair strapped below it.

🚨 BREAKING: Canada has detected a second Chinese spy balloon that is heading toward the United States.

A Chinese spy ballon just taking pictures and videos and thermal images of our resources and military. And the Pentagon won't shoot it down? Can't the commander in chief make that decision? Oh yeah! That's probably why they didn't shoot it down!

🤔 Look, I’m no expert on national defense, but this whole *let’s let the foreign spy balloon continue flying through our airspace collecting data* thing seems… off.
Maybe we have tech preventing transmission of data back to China & we want to see where it was programmed to go?

Why is everyone saying to shoot this down? China is watching. Everyone go pull your pants down and moon it.
These colors don’t run. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

EDIT TO ADD: I just tried to post this photo on Facebook and was immediately shot down. Apparently, they're embarrassed about Hunter's selfies. :silly:

Edited again to add that Facebook - at least 12 hours after the fact - has now thrown me in FB jail for 8 hours, even though I never was able to post this photo in the first place. My gosh.

@roamer_1 , your country needs you.  Can you load up your 30.06 and shoot this thing down?

Fox reporting that Biden told the military to shoot it down...they told him NO!

Was Milley involved?

Stop saying that if Trump were President he’d shoot down the balloon. Dude if Trump was President they wouldn’t have flown it here in the first place.

Sure it is.  And they no doubt just somehow "forgot" to obtain permission to scientifically research in U.S. airspace.

Shoot the %$@*# thing down already.

I'm paying taxes for fighter jets, missiles, and bullets.  What's the point of having them if you're not going to use them?  Shoot the damn ballons down!

Their initial response from China was a denial that the balloon was theirs.  It is right at that moment the balloon should have been shot down.  The fact that we didn't shows that  people within this regime are running cover for the Chi-coms.

#UPDATE: China’s Foreign Ministry said that a balloon the U.S. suspects of conducting surveillance was a civilian “airship” used for research, mainly meteorological purposes. China regrets the unintended entry of the airship into U.S. airspace.

I’m told there’s a balloon that needs to be taken care of?

Maybe if we tell Biden the Chinese spy balloon is planning to protest at a school board meeting he’ll treat it as a national security threat
