U.S. military completes recovery of Chinese balloon downed off South Carolina

“Final pieces of debris are being transferred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Laboratory in Virginia for counterintelligence exploitation, as has occurred with the previous surface and subsurface debris recovered,” the U.S. Northern Command said in a statement. Recovery operations concluded on Thursday and Navy and Coast Guard vessels have left the area and safety perimeters around the site have been lifted, the statement said.

Yukon object search

Search efforts are continuing in the Yukon after unidentified cylindrical objects were shot down over Alaska and Yukon on Friday and Saturday.

"Search and recovery efforts continue in Yukon with the assistance of the Canadian Armed Forces. The conditions are extremely challenging with a very large search area, spanning 3,000 square kilometers, and consisting of rugged and mountainous terrain with a high level of snowpack and harsh winter conditions.

Huron object search suspended due to weather and low chance of recovering it.

The search for debris from an object shot down over Lake Huron has been suspended after several days of due to several factors including "low probability of recovery," according to RCMP.

"After conducting an extensive search in the Lake Huron area with the assistance of the Canadian Coast Guard and other domestic and international partners, a decision was reached to suspend the search due to several factors including deteriorating weather and the low probability of recovery," the RCMP said in a news release Thursday.

A small number of intelligence officials under former President Trump were aware of several suspected Chinese balloons that crossed into U.S. airspace during his time in office, according to The Wall Street Journal. Despite suspicions among some officials that the high-flying objects were from China, a Pentagon assessment never conclusively linked the balloons to Beijing, and information on the incidents was not shared broadly within the Trump administration, the Journal noted.

Several former Trump officials have said they were unaware of the balloons’ incursions on U.S. airspace and expressed frustration about the lack of notification.

The Biden administration briefed former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe and former national security adviser Robert O’Brien on Wednesday about China’s high-altitude surveillance program and the previous incidents, according to NBC News. Former national security adviser John Bolton was also briefed separately.

this was my guess

For these latest objects that they shot down. Some balloon nerd / hobbyists.

So in the case of the Lake Huron UFO it took two $400,000+ missiles to shoot down a $100 hobby balloon?

Our tax dollars at work.

Meh. You can only get so much practice flying over NFL games.

I guess they're escaping undetected, showing our weakness.

Chinese spy balloon used a U.S. internet provider to communicate​

I wonder if they had to bundle phone and the HBO super package with it.

They probably got the "refer a friend" discount, which is why Russia is working on a coal-powered balloon.

Kind of crazy how this all dried up and blew away.

The danger is back.

The official said the balloon appeared to be made of Mylar and had a small cube-shaped box, about two feet long on each side, hanging below it. Its origins and purpose remain unknown.

Thank god we've lived through this.

Maybe this was covered above, but for those of you who pay attention to Peter Zeihan he had an interesting explanation. He claims a Xi didn't know about until it was shot down and the U.S. intelligence community had the President not shoot it down until it had gone over the United States so they could spy on IT and China in reverse. Zeihan claims it was great for the U.S. as we got a ton of information on everything from equipment and technology level to codes from it.

I don't know who that guy is, but unless he's working directly with our agencies, it's all speculation and wish-casting IMO. The public is never going to know any of that for certain.

What level does he need to be consulting with? It makes total sense; you fly a spy plane above it and monitor all its transmissions, let it fly through your territory because you know where it is going to be and move or cover anything it might find of interest, and then shoot it down and collect all the electronics right before it leaves your territory. Judge for yourself.

Unfortunately for the Chinese, their balloon didn't make it in time for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade...however, it's made a much bigger splash than the...
