Supposedly they're launching a search in recovery for the pieces off of Myrtle beach.
While they're at it maybe they can help find the boater who went missing from Myrtle Beach sometime last week.
I suspect that there's going to be a lot of busy US DOD SIGINT people this weekend.

Won't the intelligence community have egg on its face when it realizes it was just a Door Dash / Grubhub delivery balloon.
There's nothing civil about this war.
I thought the Sidewinder AIM 9X is a heat seeker. So what was it tracking on a balloon?
Will the payload be in better shape for a splash down and recovery by divers, or would we have done better picking up pieces from the ground? I am sure our patriotic Montanans would have been glad to duck and cover.

Truly an amazing job by DHS/FEMA. They publicize a "Chinese Spy Balloon", thus getting millions of Americans to go outside and look up with their mouths open just as jets with "harmless contrails" also fly overhead to "monitor the situation." What a perfect way to mass inoculate the populace with the new very secret oral dose mRNA vaccine. Brilliant! Simply brilliant.
