That's the Chinese Spy Balloon. It's somewhere over the Northern U.S. They probably want to check out all that land they bought near that
airbase in the Dakota's? The sweat band of my red cap says it's nothing to worry about, Space Force will take care of it soon and bigly.

According to the news the President scramble US jets to take it down but the Pentagon said no. it was also said that it was over US Nuclear Silos 1 to 2 days before the media released the news >:(

Which news? Everything I've seen says it's no big deal.

Some, including Republican lawmakers from Montana have called on the federal government to shoot the balloon down.
"Shoot down the balloon. Cancel Blinken’s trip. Hold China accountable," Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley wrote in a tweet. "Biden is letting China walk all over us. It’s time to make America strong again."
Secretary of State Antony Blinken was scheduled to travel to Beijing this weekend to discuss the Russia-Ukraine war with Chinese officials and meet with President Xi.
Top Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee demanded that Blinken confront Xi over the spy balloon during his trip, calling it an "unacceptable" violation of U.S. airspace and American sovereignty.
Other Republicans went further, with Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., saying, "Secretary Blinken should cancel his trip to China."
this was what I saw this morning. Glad it's nothing now lol.

Ah. The usual fearmongers. As if surveillance flights aren't completely routine. Who's falling for this nonsense?

Actually no. That types of surveillance went out with the 60's, after the loss of many aircraft and men.

The balloon isn't manned. There are also satellites.
Air surveillance is as old as flight, and everyone in authority, defense, and intelligence knows all about it and deals with it accordingly. Don't fall for the media hype. This is what they do when the news is slow.
This won't be something I won't debate further. See you in the chat hopefully, so we can admire your great SSTV reception in real time.

Just saying "Open Skies" I'm done also.

If it comes over my house, I've got my trusty antenna hanging Wrist-Rocket and a bunch of lead weights from before the ban on them. That thing is coming down.

Do you need a license? There's a town east of Denver that was issuing them for drones. Not sure if they are still doing so, and I've not heard if anyone managed to bag one lawfully with theirs.

Molvania is pioneering some of the most advanced military balloon technology ever (aside from Space Force).

Be careful, Shortwave, Sean Hannity is beating the drum for a war against the Maple Menace. You remember how the last one turned out, Canada was the only winner in the War of 1812. Who was the little girl who lead them to victory? Her name escapes me.
I'd use a 12 gauge with #8 shot for drones. It would ruin the drone and you could stomp on the camera before they could ID you. #8 shot is fairly light, it wouldn't harm any pets or people it could fall on.
You Molvanians can grow a fine mustache, and your hat's are snappy, too. Didn't Richard Branson fly a prototype of that model around the world in performance testing trials?
