  1. So, the #Chinese #SpyBallon did not "collect" data, according to the Pentagon. Right, since it transmitted data back to base in real-time, it technically did not collect (as in store onboard) data. #semantic

  2. In this segment, Cypher discusses the CCPs #Spyballon from Feb back in Feb. We're time traveling, baby! This is a reupload as YouTube poofed the video out of existence. Let's go because everything we said here was proven true this week!

  3. After thinking a bit about the objects shot down over US an Canada, and are not Chinese spy balloons.

    I’m glad that it seems not to be nefarious. But it made me think, how much “ballon junk” is floating around up there? What happens to it when it expires? How come this is not reported by commercial airlines all 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 time?

  4. This whole epic saga of the suspected #Chinese #SpyBallon reminded me of the popular ‘80s song by Nena! In this song, 99 red balloons released into the sky cause a major response. Here’s some of the lyrics:

    “The war machine springs to life
    Opens up one eager eye
    Focusing it on the sky “

    “Call the troops out in a hurry
    This is what we've waited for
    This is it boys, this is war
    The President is on the line
    As 99 red balloons go by”

    “99 knights of the air
    Ride super high-tech jet fighters
    Everyone's a superhero
    Everyone's a Captain Kirk
    With orders to identify
    To clarify and classify”

    I think F-22 Raptors meet the criteria for “super high-tech jet fighters.” Here’s the video!

  5. Okay, in continued #spyballon #drama, news reports keep making reference to an “enormous payload” (most recently, LA Times). What does that mean, pragmatically? What was this thing likely to have been carrying?
