How Did The US Not See It Sooner?

With all the surveillance equipment we have, why did the China balloon get over the CONUS and not get shot down over the Pacific as soon as it entered our air space? Something stinks to high heaven here! Or, do I need to go get my tinfoil hat?

How do you know it wasn't seen?
Should have been dropped in the Bering Sea, and a very stern warning to the PRC that any future violations of our borders would be considered grounds for a total trade embargo!
What I can't believe is they let it get over the whole United States before they shot it down..... Sounds like Hunter had to talk to the Big Guy. "So huh Dad our bread and butter, the Chinese are sending over a Spy balloon.... Make sure you don't shoot it down until you let it get to the east coast. Don't forget I'll still be giving you your 10%."

Yes, it surely stinks, the stink of incompetence in DC.
Not incompetent.... Bought and paid for.😉

Yepp.. notice how they slipped the new tax hike in there..??
They had to form a comittee to study the enviromental impact of shooting it down and if it would cause global warming.

NOW--we find out that at least three other balloons have done the same thing in the past 4-5 years without public knowledge!
Except that it's a lie.
Everyone was busy watching China's right hand movement while ignoring what the left hand was doing, I'm afraid we'll soon see the results of the left hand.

They did see it, in fact we probably saw it launch too.
Everyone has been flying balloons over everyone else since at least the Eisenhower era. He said it was better if everyone knew what everyone else was doing, so wars would not start over what someone was afraid someone else was doing. We fly them too. The trick is not to get embarrassed by getting one spotted.
They knew, we were not supposed to.
It was seen the moment it left China , but Hunter, classified docs and a couple other deep state screw ups needed to go away
Not to worry. I'm sure that joe will give Xi a stern talking to.
Folks we need to stop misidentifying maleficence as incompetence.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
It's not getting worse.. it's just getting more obvious...
Our government is not accountable to We the People. How dare you even ask.
Public seeing it and reporting on it made Brandon have to do something. (In a couple days)
I'll bet the farm they knew about it as soon as it was in the air. No need to make a fuss until someone spotted it over Montana. We will never know the "facts of the matter". I almost trust the Chinese more than those inside the beltway.
This just in!
There were three chinese balloons in our air space when Trump was in office!
They didn't know it then, but they do now!😆
Do they really think that people believe this stuff?
Not the first time they flew these airships over our country.
and why did Canada let it fly over their country for close to a week???????
