The Biden admin keeps saying there were undetected incursions during the Trump admin. If they were undetected how does the Biden admin know about them?
^^^THIS^^^ Where's their proof?
Many radar systems will store all hit data for long periods. The radar tracking software is often set to ignore slow moving hits and display fast movers like aircraft because they are the most important things to track. Going back over stored hit data to find slow movers is probably not all that difficult.
IMO, that is a military scandal if true. Someone had found a way to penetrate our air space and we were ignoring it either whether on purpose or out of ignorance.
“I’m not going to categorize them as balloons. We’re calling them objects for a reason,” VanHerck said. “I’m not able to categorize how they stay aloft. It could be a gaseous type of balloon inside a structure or it could be some type of a propulsion system. But clearly, they’re — they’re able to stay aloft.”
“We assessed taking a gunshot yesterday in that event, as well as today, and the pilots in each situation felt that that was really unachievable because of the size, especially yesterday in the altitude, and also because of the challenge to acquire it visually because it’s so small,” VanHerck said.
Remember in the sandbox we could get same day gun camera footage? Now they say these objects were shot down over rough terrain. They have recovered zero percent of them, but they are not aliens or enemy governments. Yeah, I believe them.
Don't the missiles have video cameras in them as well as the HD Video in the plane?
U.S. officials knew about the Chinese spy balloon shot down off the coast of South Carolina from the moment it took off, sources said on Tuesday - leading to further questions about why it was not shot down sooner.The balloon took off from Hainan Island off southern China at the end of January, and entered U.S. airspace on January 28 above Alaska. It briefly entered Canada and crossed back into U.S. territory over northern Idaho on January 30, the day the White House said Biden was first briefed on it.
Why didn't they shoot it down earlier? Biden administration monitored Chinese spy balloon shot down over South Carolina from moment it took off from South China Sea last monthhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11752005/Why-didnt-shoot-earlier-Chinese-spy-balloon-shot-SC-seen-taking-off.html
BREAKING: CBS News has learned that U.S. intelligence watched the Chinese spy balloon as it lifted off near China's south coast, meaning the U.S. military had been tracking it for nearly a week before it entered U.S. airspace. pic.twitter.com/oaR5yZIRwm — CBS Evening News (@CBSEveningNews) February 15, 2023
Fly that puppy in for a "carrier landing" on it and let the tailhook rip the top outta it! Can ya drop the hook with the gear up?
President Joe Biden has not addressed the American people about mysterious objects being shot out of the sky because the White House does not want to spark panic.That was the answer given by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday when she was asked why Biden had not made a televised speech on the issue.
Could it be, wondered another reporter, that an 80-year-old president with a history of gaffes was not the right person to deliver sensitive messages like that.'I will tell you this,' said an irritated press secretary, 'the president is the best communicator that we have at the White House.'
