So, if I drive my pickup to the packey for a rack of beer, does that mean the entire pickup is used up?I have wondered if spending $216 million on an airplane to pop a balloon is really cost effective.

Yup...New details reveal how China balloons floated over Hawaii and Florida under Trump
US Air Force document says balloons ‘drifted past Hawaii’ and ‘across Florida’ during Trump presidencywww.independent.co.uk
The key quotes:
US officials have also acknowledged that a balloon had floated above the continental US in a previous instance in the early days since Joe Biden took over as president.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said at an event on Monday that the US has “enhanced our surveillance of our territorial airspace, we enhanced our capacity to be able to detect things that the Trump administration was unable to detect”.
That such craft belonged to China was determined only after they had left US airspace in the previous purported times, according to General Glen VanHerck, the head of US Northern Command.
I will tell you that we did not detect those threats,” he said. The general pointed to “a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out” and said the US intelligence community had pointed to such alleged incursions only “after the fact”.
My own take-China regularly violates Taiwan's airspace to test resolve. I think this was an attempt to do the same. The current administration might have gained a lot more credibility and respect if they had taken it out over the Aleutians rather than let it transit the entire US.
Yes, we are in agreement. I too believe our military is superior, however, underestimating one's opponent will get one's ass kicked real fast.You are free to believe whomever you wish to believe.
I am not a fan of China.
I believe our military intelligence far superior. Blind faith maybe.
If we are entangled with China it is of our own doing.
I agree on China - but your "military intelligence" (an oxymoron?) didn't see that object coming - why? Can't say that it was small.You are free to believe whomever you wish to believe.

NORAD identified it over the Pacific ocean, far off the Alaskan coast, three days prior to any civilian sightings.I agree on China - but your "military intelligence" (an oxymoron?) didn't see that object coming - why? Can't say that it was small.
It could have been shot down before getting over USA - if it was seen.
It took civilians to point it out to them.
What else don't they see?
Sadly, trueThose who take Chinese money are expected to Kowtow.....
Slick
