Spy Historian Debunks Chinese Spy Balloon Theories | WIRED
Dr. Andrew Hammond, Historian & Curator at the International Spy Museum, breaks down some common misconceptions about the Chinese ‘spy’ balloon that was shot down in the United States. Did the U.S. shoot down the balloon too late? Was this a dry run for a military attack? Was this the first time this has happened?…

The only way to steer a balloon is to make it go up or down, into a layer of wind that is moving in the direction you want. It is not always guaranteed that there exists winds to where you need to go.

That’s what I’m telling everyone it’s not a spy balloon. As it’s a disgrace to spy craft everywhere as no flying spyware should be detectable by commerical air traffic radar. It might be for a second by military radar, but for the rest of the time it’s not detectable, at least for 12 hours.

Okay, I hear what he’s saying, but our military isn’t that dumb. Our news outlets, yes. However, balloons were used for recon during the Civil War here in the US. and during WWI by the Germans with their Zeppelins and even bombings before the Biplanes learned how to outfit their planes for weapons and bombings. I’ve been reading up for research on a book I’m writing. If I hadn’t, this guy would probably make a lot of sense. 😃😃👋👋💖💖

My theory and again I state theory with no to little evidence is that it was filled with a covid strain, and they fully expected it to get shot down in America and they where shocked that it made it so far (hints them not making a issue with us shooting it but more of one about shooting it outside the USA over water)

A balloon, such as the spy one, is capable of independent movement. It can change direction and course. Satellites are fixed in their orbits, and the effort/resources needed to put a satellite into orbit are considerable and obvious. There aren’t ‘secret’ satellites. All the governments capable of launching them and tracking are aware when a new one goes up.

In 1998 a rogue Canadian weather balloon that was over ’25 storeys’ tall also fitted with solar panels flew over Russia when it got caught up in the jet stream. It was a high altitude balloon designed to monitor the ozone layer. Claiming the size of a balloon can’t be a weather balloon because of it’s size is just ignorance.

You should not assume it’s a spy balloon just because China is more technologically advanced in weather monitoring and you don’t understand their technology. It’s like saying I have a combustible-based car and yours is electric, I don’t know electric cars so I believe it’s a tank…
Hector Landes
March 11, 2023 at 2:58 pm
Another funny thing is that the US government said they have been monitoring the ballon since it took off in Hainai. So basically they have been spying on Hainan and after they complain that others are spying on them while acting like angels. Make no sense lol.

I don’t quite understand the part about “can it see inside your windows?” Wouldn’t the imaging device (or the balloon itself) need to be level with the window in order to see in it?

Um, there’s the American thing where they can drop missiles out of a cargo plane, sooo, this is their response? You don’t need the plane, you have the balloon that could lazer guide the bombs… if its drifting that high up no one could detect it? it’s like a slow moving cheaper b52, dunno the cost of the rig, but, rough estimate ar the higher end, cost for cost, 1 b52 would be a billion, balloon 20 million, so 1 b52 = 50 balloons?
