    Sounds familiar doesn't it... umamin din ng tuluyan, pero di daw alam ni Winnie the Pooh and his cabal.

    China said on Monday that U.S. high altitude balloons had flown over its airspace without permission more than 10 times since the beginning of 2022, widening a diplomatic row after the U.S. military shot down what it says was a Chinese spy balloon.

    "Since last year, the U.S.'s high-altitude balloons have undergone more than 10 illegal flights into Chinese airspace without the approval of the relevant Chinese departments," Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a regular briefing in Beijing in response to a question.

    Wang did not specifically describe the balloons as military or for espionage purposes and did not provide further details.

    Asked how China had responded to such incursions into its airspace, Wang said its responses had been "responsible and professional".

    i am curious,
    why bother with balloons, when satellites are seemingly more capable?
    hindi kaya, for psychological effect lang yang mga lobong 'yan?

    baloons do cost considerably cheaper than satellites.

    As well as it being more "cost effective", I've read They can linger longer in one location too since a number of them have a designed propulsion system w/c can take advantage of the wind direction and more importantly the jet stream by going up and down the atmosphere. plus, This means it can take more detailed pics and listen in on chatter because of its lower altitude and its "stationary" nature.

    And also the material the balloon is made off has a small or almost zero radar signature. Kaya siguro prior to the wholesale sighting in the Midwest, the military was not too keen on investigating every minimal radar blip that occured. [emoji1745]

    Iyon Ang nabasa ko so I'm not sure if it's gospel truth since classified din daw iyong specs Ng spy balloons Ng china at Ng ibang mga bansa.

    from CNN, not pro-china source

    White House says leading theory is objects shot down were 'benign' balloons as it tries to tamp down on conspiracies | CNN Politics

    The leading explanation among US intelligence officials is that three objects shot down over North America last weekend were balloons being flown for benign purposes, the White House said Tuesday, the furthest the administration has gone in describing the as-yet-unidentified crafts.

    The three mystery aerial devices have consumed areas of the federal government since they were shot down over the past several days. The administration hasn't been able to say with certainty what they were doing, where they were from or even what type of craft they were -- conditions ripe for conspiracies.

    The White House, recognizing the potential for the spread of outlandish theories, has sought to tamp down on fears the objects could have originated from a hostile state or even from outer space. On Tuesday, a top White House official suggested they were likely harmless.


    now i ask everyone here who has convinced themselves those were "chinese spy balloons"

    do you disagree with your CNN?

    Not everything from China is a weapon

    Yaiks, my portable desktop vacuum cleaner is spying on me

    Seryosli, it is really the lack of transparency, openness and murkiness of tsaynis biz, its ownership and political agenda of the CCP that all adds to this.

    Para sa Pilipinas, dagdagan mo pa ang ginawa ng bansang CHINA WUHAN VIRUS sa WPS na dati rati wala namang problema lahat ng bansa doon. Nag simula lahat nung inagaw at dineklara na kanila daw itong lahat tapos sinira at gumawa ng mga pekeng isla
