    US already admitted earlier that this is in fact a weather balloon, and this is further proof that it was not any sort of a spy balloon. The whole drama was completely made up, and the highest US authorities continue to spread lies months after.

      Umm, source on an official US statement calling it a weather balloon and denying it was a spy balloon? China’s alleged failure to collect data due to mitigations and countermeasures doesn’t mean it’s a weather balloon.

      You have no facts to backup “US spreading lies”. No evidence whatsoever. You have the US’ story, China’s story, and millions of photos of a absurdly large apparatus floating across the US that looks nothing like a weather balloon.

              @zephyreks …but it wasn’t from lack of trying… the countermeasures the US used kept it from collecting any sensitive intelligence. That’s the part you propagandists keep leaving out.

                It did not collect information. You’re hallucinating statements that don’t exist and you’re also hallucinating propagandists that don’t exist.

                I’d ask you to get it checked out, but I’m afraid that you’d hallucinate a doctor that doesn’t exist.

                  @zephyreks There you go again. You’re either blatantly trying to mislead people or you’re an idiot.

                  "But “it has been our assessment now that it did not collect while it was transiting the United States or over flying the United States”.

                  He said the efforts the US took to mitigate any intelligence gathering “contributed” to the balloon’s failure to gather sensitive information."

                    I’m seriously confused where you get your impression from. It’s been known that lead exposure leads to hallucinations, so you might want to get your paint checked out?
