Yeah. Not finding it.

Tyler tends to be very accurate when it is well researched. Shit that happens on the fly, well he speculates just like the rest of us and makes some minor errors. But he did well on being the first (that I saw) to speculate it was a Sidewinder.
His work on the R9X was my favorite.

I've been fairly well impressed with that site for a few years now. And they're not shy about updating, correcting, and pointing out the new information they receive.
Even Yahoo quotes NORAD as saying they knew but it was not considered a threat so did nothing.

NORAD detected Chinese spy flight before it reached US, but 'could not' take action, general says
NORAD detected China's surveillance balloon before it reached the coast of Alaska, but “could not” take action to shoot it down because it was not obviously hostile.

No not you.
Heh. What a suspicious mind you have!
BREAKING: Chinese spy balloon carried explosives to self-detonate
Pentagon officials have revealed that the Chinese spy balloon potentially was carrying explosives to destroy itself.

Copied from a fakebook post:
The risk from the Chinese Spy Balloon goes far beyond the gathering of surveillance footage.
In WWII Japan used balloons to carry small payloads such as incendiary and explosive devices. What they proved was a balloon's ability to successfully carry a small payload thousands of miles.
What makes this an incredible risk is even more deadly payloads such as biological or chemical weapons can be used. Let me give you a couple facts to show you what I mean.
The latest virus that brought America to its knees, if kept at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, can survive for up to 28 days.
Once released, viruses can survive in the air, pending the virus, for anywhere from hours to days.
Being a retired engineering scientist (rocket scientist) I could easily design a lightweight system to carry a live virus maintained at 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
I could have the virus suspended in a transfer medium that allowed aerosol-size emissions while having a weight that would cause it to float to the ground at a reasonable speed rather than remain in the upper elevations.
I could place a remote-activated propulsion system (think aerosol hairspray) that would begin emissions on demand and continue to spread for days as the balloon continued its course.
In a matter of days, such a weapon could infect millions while someone like Joe waited for it to complete its course across the continental US and by the time the incubation of the virus was complete and we realized a virus had been released, it would be too late.
THIS is not a conspiracy theory. THIS is coming from a person who has the experience and education to design such a weapon
It wasn't about taking some pictures. China tested us. They saw that our current admin would allow a balloon to completely cross our nation before taking action...
This time was a test... The NEXT TIME it may be much more devastating than a nuclear weapon...
