Anybody know how the Chinese spy balloon got to Montana? It is hard to believe it strayed, or that a balloon released from a ship would get so far. The distance from Seattle, WA to Billings, MT is ~825 miles.
I wonder whether it was released by a Chinese Communist Party Intelligence Agency sleeper cell located in the US mainland?? The CCP has been covertly monitoring Americans of Chinese and Taiwanese origin and Chinese nationals extensively for the last decade.
I think it is time for the military to send fighter jets or a missile and shoot it down pronto. Maybe deflate it and look at the data and technology. This is becoming a white Bronco chase scale embarrassment and is also serious threat to national security.
