Forecast: Air Currents to Take China Spy Balloon Over US Heartland, Key Naval Base; Biden Refuses to Shoot It Down

    Gateway Pundit | By Kristinn Taylor Published February 3, 2023 at 11:20am

    A NOAA air current model shows the China spy balloon is expected to traverse the United States heartland through the Midwest and Southern states on Friday before heading out to the Atlantic Ocean passing over the U.S. Navy base at Newport News, Virginia. Joe Biden refused to shoot down the balloon, however Secretary of State Antony Blinken cancelled a planned trip to Beijing in protest.

    The NOAA HYSPLIT* model was used to reverse track the balloon from China. The balloon flew over the Aleutian Islands, then into Canada air space before crossing into U.S. airspace over Montana and a U.S. nuclear missile base on Wednesday.

    Forecasting shows it continuing across the U.S. on Friday:

    Based on Met. Models ( NOAA’s HYSPLIT tool ) spy balloon could have been launched ~ 26th Jan, and slowly made its way over Japan -> Alaska -> Canada ->Mainland USA

    In a little over 24 hrs it will make its way across to the Atlantic#osint #china #montana #spyballoon pic.twitter.com/lJbM6YfQt4

    1. American high school students launch a hundred such balloons every year. Not all of them rise sufficiently to burst and parachute the electronics to ground.
      Who let go of the string?
