    Apparently we obseved and learned a lot about it before shooting it down. Once confirmed it was round, the rest is history!

    I am shocked a red neck didn’t shoot it down when it was discovered over Montana. That is prime red neck country right there though 97% of the geographic area of that state.

    As someone meentioned earlier..we havee 150 nukes in Montana...that place is wired for war. Don't think they want debris falling on missile silos.

    It wasn't something that could be shot down with a rifle. It was high and large and while called balloon it had no resemblance to the balloons you have at birthday parties.

    I am assuming the real reason they didn’t is because they wanted Biden to look bad. If given the chance to shoot something, they will.
