Pentagon Confirms Second Chinese ‘Surveillance Balloon’ Seen Over Latin America
TheHill | 02/04/2023

A second Chinese “surveillance balloon” was spotted flying over Latin America after another one traveling across the continental U.S. was detected earlier in the day, officials confirmed Friday evening.

“We are seeing reports of a balloon transiting Latin America. We now assess it is another Chinese surveillance balloon,” Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said. “We have no further information to provide at this time.”

The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed in a statement earlier on Friday that the high-altitude balloon that was first seen over Montana on Wednesday belongs to China, but claimed it is a weather balloon that was blown off course by wind.

U.S. officials countered the comment, instead speculating that it is a surveillance balloon. They have not shot it down over fears that doing so could risk public safety.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a scheduled trip to China after the balloon was detected. A State Department official said the conditions are “not right” for Blinken to make the trip at this time and noted that the balloon is a violation of international law and U.S. sovereignty.

  1. Step 1- acquire a helicopter that can get above it.
    Step2-Drop two Seals in biowarfare gear down to the top of it. One takes a sample with a syringe, the other stands ready with a fresh piece of gorilla tape.
    Step3- Extraction
    Step4- Analyze sample.
    Step5- If biohazard, terminate with extreme prejudice at extreme temperature.
    Step 6…woops, we seemed have a plane off course that will be landing soon in China and it contains the women from …THE VIEW ,each with their own interpreter….weapons of mass douchebaggery…the horror…the horror..
