China said on Monday that more than 10 US high-altitude balloons have flown in its airspace without its permission during the past year, following Washington's accusation that Beijing operates a fleet of surveillance balloons around the world.
The Chinese allegation came after the US shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon that had crossed from Alaska to South Carolina, sparking a new crisis in bilateral relations that have spiraled to their lowest level in decades.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin gave no details about the alleged US balloons, how they had been dealt with, or whether they had government or military links.
'It is also common for US balloons to illegally enter the airspace of other countries,' he said at a daily briefing. 'Since last year, US high-altitude balloons have illegally flown over China's airspace more than 10 times without the approval of Chinese authorities.'
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby denied the Chinese claim during an appearance on Morning Joe Monday.

It could just as easily been from the Pentagon, with love, of course. What better way to beat the drums of WWIII, when the population just didn't go swimmingly along with beating that drum called "Russia bad, Putin man bad."
NATO wants its war. BADLY.
All wars are banksters' wars. War = $$$. And we DON'T HAVE ANY...
They will do whatever it takes. If people don't understand this is not our government calling the shots, then I don't know what to say, except, wake up. We have had over 3 years of "them" lying to us and killing us.
On Damn Purpose.
How long does it take ....?
Spy Balloon!! (Dated Jan 28th-Feb 4th)
First off, why the hell wasn’t it shot down as soon as it was over dry land in Alaska?? (It’s easier to walk to than swim to)!
I think we are seeing test runs by China to see if we will protect our sovereign country, sadly we did nothing! I have no doubt who’s side the Biden administration is on. A balloon is THE perfect platform to carry drones, disease & chemical capsules, high-tech cameras with the ability to harvest massive amounts of information in real time and also carry EMP BOMBS (Energy magnetic pulse). It’s cheap, can run on solar power for ever, can be remotely controlled and detonated, can easily carry heavy loads of other surveillance equipment and fly below the magnetic field which satellite can’t do and is needed to make a EMP work. 80,000 ft. is the perfect altitude for a EMP, this balloon was at 80,000 ft!!
BTW, China has had an ongoing high altitude Balloon program for years, we knew about it, we did nothing!
Under Trump:
#1. China would NEVER have tried this!
#2. Trump would have given them one hr to turn this balloon around when it was out at sea or he will take it out when it reached U.S. air space.
#3. he would charge China $500,000 for the missile. You can take that to the bank!
As for the three Chinese spy balloons stated by the left during the Trump administration, ridiculous! If that happened, we would have heard about it as we did this one, by the public, we didn’t and there is no records of them. BTW, under Biden, our military had no intention of reporting this to the American public although they were tracking it from take-off from a island in China. It’s been reported that Canada is tracking another one and there is one coming up from South America at this time.
Here is the list of the U.S. Military bases, Nuclear bases, Missile silos and who knows what else in the path of that Chinese Spy Balloon!
Maelstrom Air Force Base – Montana
Minot Air Force Base. N. Dakota. (on the Bakken oil reserve).
Ellsworth Air Force Base – South Dakota
Joe Foss Field ANG – South Dakota (Air National Guard).
Sioux City ANG – Iowa
Offutt Air Force Base -Nebraska
Camp Ashland – Nebraska
Lincoln ANG – Nebraska
Triad Strategic air command - Omaha Nebraska.
Whiteman Air Force Base – Missouri
Fort Leonard Wood – Missouri
St. Louis Army Human Resources – St. Louis, Mssouri
Scott Air Force Base – Illinois
Fort Campbell – Tennessee
Nashville ANG – Tennessee
Smyrna ANG – Tennessee
Houston Barracks – Tennessee
McGhee Tyson ANG – Tennessee
Pope Air Force Base – North Carolina
Fort Bragg – North Carolina
MCAS New River – North Carolina
Camp Lejeune – North Carolina
US Coast Guard Station - Fort Macon Georgia.
Missile silos (locations classified).
Wyoming.
Colorado.
Montana.
Nebraska.
North Dakota.
South Dakota.
This was just another unprecedented failure by the Biden Administration. We are now being invaded through our open borders AND we have China floating high-tech spy balloons across the continental United States without fear of reprisals by the Biden regime. He is selling the United States to the highest bidder. May God help us all.
It’s funny how all of a sudden O’Biden is shooting down four weather balloons, UFO’s, etc. at $500,000 a pop! Like that will fix his massive screw-up last week, abandoning Afghanistan with 83 billion dollars in top U.S. military hardware, and also before we left, giving the Taliban all the home addresses of Afghans loyal to the U.S. so they could get “safe passage to the air port”, far beyond stupid!
What would a EMP blast do?
When an EMP blast strikes an area, it can disrupt or completely destroy ANY electrical systems and circuits in its path. This includes power grids, telecommunications networks, computers, cell phones, radios, GPS receivers, and other electronic systems in a estimated 1,500 mile radius. If this would have been a serious EMP run, thanks to this administration, we would be destroyed now, Don’t think this can’t happen!!

Any competent Field Artillery Officer will tell you that precise weather data over the target... and along the flight path of the projectile is needed to have the most accurate round placement.
Everything from winds aloft, speed, direction, density altitude, temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric ballistic data aid to ensure that a projectile or MRV has the best-targeting data possible and the greatest chance of a direct hit.
Those 'stray balloons' seem to have a propensity for wandering over key US Military installations... and could easily be gathering weather and atmospheric targeting data for potential targets of the Chinese Military. Only a fool would dismiss this possibility. Pearl Harbor had its radar sightings dismissed... will these Ballons be summarily discounted?
This kind of targeting data is ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT for targeting HYPER-VELOCITY REENTRY OR SUBORBITAL projectiles... munitions traveling at hyper-velocity speeds need current and detailed atmospherics to be accurate... Example: MRV'D warheads or the latest class of offensive missiles...
Those errant Chinese Balloons could have a very important role in the preparation of any future battlefield... extending, way beyond targeting data for missiles and conventional rounds/munitions. Certain forms of communications and the location of key command and control facilities together with their electronic defensive measures could be accessed using those Ballons.
I don't believe those Balloons are anomalies, nor are they off-course weather balloons.
I ran a artillery fire direction center for 2 years, you are absolutely correct, it even includes earth rotation. But... concider a single EMP bomb!
I don't believe they are "Anomalies" or "off course Weather Balloons" either..... A Military mind knows better..... Good post Col.....
Distractions from what?? We are not hearing anything from the White House OR MSM about the Ohio train derailment - - makes you scratch your head and wonder "why"!!
I can't help but wonder what the Chinese are really doing while the U.S. is in a state of hysteria about balloons. Where are their nuclear subs? Where are their conventional subs? How many Chinese agents have just walked across our southern border...the border that our resident says is secure?!. How often have they hacked our power grid? Why do their fighter aircraft resemble ours so closely in appearance and design? How much damaging information about about resident Biden and his pervy son Hunter are the Chinese using as leverage in the Sino-U.S. relationship? I have way more angst about what we're not being told than from what we are. Why is our media carrying out our government's disinformation campaign of spreading fear and anxiety. 2020 Covid and an alleged insurrection, 2021 clowns with scary faces, 2022 inflation, food shortages, skyrocketing fuel costs, 2023 gas stoves are killing us and must be banned and gasp...scary balloons. What's next?
You speak the truth
Where is Harry Truman when we need him???
