The Biden Administration’s handling of the Chinese spy balloon flying over America was another fiasco. We now know the 200 foot balloon had antennas throughout.
“These types of antennas are meant for surveillance technology and this is not something you would expect for any type of scientific mission,” said Gregory Falco, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Civil and Systems Engineering.
Five Chinese companies and one research institute were added to the US government’s trade blacklist for their alleged support of Chinese military aerospace programs including airships and balloons – the US Commerce Department announced.
The Chinese spy balloon intercepted radio, cell phone and other communications from the military bases it flew over, said Matt Kroenig, the senior director of the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council.
The balloon’s large solar panels – as well as the fact that it was able to hover over US airspace for long periods of time – is concerning, Dr Falco said.
“They have a high-powered system that can do a lot of data relay,” said Dr Falco. “I don’t know exactly what they were collecting, but all the mechanics are there for getting a lot of data back to their satellites.”
The balloon was part of a wider fleet of surveillance balloons that has spanned five continents.

Joe and his handlers (Susan Rice, Obama) are infamously known for their standdown orders while they assess the situation. Remember Benghazi, Iran capturing our Navy men aboard our ship, and even 1-6 when Nancy et al told the national guard and capitol police to standdown. They are reactionary not anticipatory. They don’t believe in Peace through Strength but rather Chaos through Weakness.

Joe: what is that balloon doing here?
Aide: it is delivering Chinese food to Montana and Missouri.
Joe: Good. I would like egg rolls, fried rice and sweet and sour shrimp.
Aide: It doesn’t deliver to D.C. or Delaware.
Joe: Shoot it down.
