Hobby Club’s Missing Balloon Feared Shot Down By USAF
Steve Trimble February 16, 2023


quote:

A small, globe-trotting balloon declared “missing in action” by an Illinois-based hobbyist club on Feb. 15 has emerged as a candidate to explain one of the three mystery objects shot down by four heat-seeking missiles launched by U.S. Air Force fighters since Feb. 10. The club—the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade (NIBBB)—is not pointing fingers yet. But the circumstantial evidence is at least intriguing. The club’s silver-coated, party-style, “pico balloon” reported its last position on Feb. 10 at 38,910 ft. off the west coast of Alaska, and a popular forecasting tool—the HYSPLIT model provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)—projected the cylindrically shaped object would be floating high over the central part of the Yukon Territory on Feb. 11. That is the same day a Lockheed Martin F-22 shot down an unidentified object of a similar description and altitude in the same general area.




But hey

1. our president is a bad arse, unless he’s trying to read off the teleprompter

2. And by the way, we can “conclude” that UFOs do not exist (balloons, China, Trump, etc…)

99 Red Balloons, floating in the summer sky. Panic bells, it’s red alert.
There’s something here from somewhere else.

excellent. And since Biden is killing all my heros...allow me to add:

99 knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk

(Cross-talk by reporters.)

Q Mr. President, why did you wait so long to address the public on this matter, Mr. President?

Q Sir, there’s been a criticism — there’s been criticism of this —

Q When are you speaking to President Xi, Mr. President?

Q Is this deal with China compromised by your family’s business relationships in China, President Biden?

THE PRESIDENT: Give me a break, man. (Laughs.) (Inaudible.)

Q Sir — Mr. President — Mr. President, there’s been criticism —

Q Did you overreact?

Q — Mr. President, there’s been criticism that this was an overreaction that was done because of political pressure —

(Cross-talk by reporters.)

THE PRESIDENT: I can’t —

Q Is your son still (inaudible) —

THE PRESIDENT: You can come to my office and ask the question when you have more polite people (inaudible).

Apparently almost every media outlet buried the lead. According to analysis from combined intelligence operations of the U.S government, last week the Biden administration ordered U.S. military fighter jets to launch missiles and shoot down of what is now believed to be “balloons belonging to private companies, recreation, or research institutions.” WATCH (w/ transcript

So Milley & Austin have left trillions in rare mining materials in Afghanistan for China, left people our guys worked with like brothers to die. Got our guys killed. Droned innocent civilians to death.

Milley bragged openly about calling China and warning them regarding his coup actions & attempt of Trump.

Austin is destroying readiness with woke politics.

The Pentagon is now openly saying they need to save some missiles for us as too much has been sent to Ukraine.

The Pentagon lie like rugs via their hyper-partisan placed spox people. No one trusts a word out of their mouths.

And now we are told they wasted more money ($400,000 a shot & they missed the first shot) taking down a Hobby Lobby project?

You can't make this up as you go along if you tried harder.

Less panic here than it was Joe and Co. staging a false flag to cover for a complete lack of competence in how they handled the actual CCP spy balloon.

The actual German version isn't the same song. Similar, but it didn't translate word for word.

The worst of all is the current JCS Pentagon locksteps with Biden, does not undercut him.

No military with painted medaled chests undercuts Biden or writes long-winded Op-Ed's against him.

Yet, twice now they have said the opposite of what Biden says. Afghanistan and now this.

It is almost like they want us too think it is alien stuff so Joe Biden is saying Hobby Lobby balloons?

When the entire time they are inept CCP loving treasonous assholes.

Our military is a joke today. I see why they got their asses handed to them in Afghanistan. They never learn.

Everyone with 3 or 4 stars today passed through 8 years of Obama admin screening to get there.

So these people, they just launch balloons and track where they go via ham radio? That's it? They don't use them to communicate or anything?

Who is going to be the first here to paint the bottom half of a balloon with “fjb” and let it go. Be funny as hell to see that on the news.

Funny, didn't the military say that the Roswell incident was a weather balloon? Seems like the military has a thing for balloons.
