Does anyone have an idea of the diameter of it, and how fast it is moving?

Supposedly it's roughly the size of 2 school buses.

I think the Chinese sent it over here as an experiment to see how much internet chatter it could create, or how many conspiracy theories would be generated.

Heck that is the size of some of photo shopped fish pictures on this site.

I think this thing might be carrying all the microchips for 200 horse mercs to Wrench's house

Thanks guys for the answers. After ball games are done today, i will do some research. I have a pretty nice Tikka T3X in .308win that could reach it.

China should have to reimburse the U.S. for all this has cost us.    

I'm thinking at least 14,000,000.00 for every 12 hour period that it occupies our airspace.     

It's causing the chickens to stop laying eggs, and all kinds of things destructive to our way of life......or so we could legitimately claim.   It's 2023 so let's milk this for all it's worth!

Next ball game at 2, so here was my 5 minutes of reading. So the DoD considered shooting it down but decided not to due to harm to civilians on the ground? Has the DoD never been across Montana, where it’s wide open for forever. 
 

And, now a 2nd balloon?

yea, you are caught up with the rest of the world now.  As if anything being reported is halfway close to the truth.
