"Weather balloon" gets Brrrrrrrt! Film at 11
sociowrath
So does the pilot get to paint a little balloon silhouette on the side of his jet?

If it’s an espionage balloon, they definitely lost control of it…actually…they lost control no matter what kind of balloon it is.

Does the pilot get to put a Chinese balloon below their cockpit now?
pastastructure
You know they are going to -- even if they are forced to take it off later.

They were probably trying to fugure out how to capture it for the last couple days...then just had to shoot it down
AnIPAisMyFavorite
I think they were waiting for a safe place to shoot it down where the debris would fall over the water.
scottEkarate
Definitely their official story

Shot it down over the ocean for that reason. Nobody gets hurt and the AF doesn’t get sued.

"The total cost of development and testing puts the F-22 programme at around $108 billion." Kind of a lot for one shot.

It was 3 school buses in size.... that's a big balloon.

Sounds like at least 50 washing machines.
RobotMenace
A lot of high altitude research balloons expand to about 200ft. No matter it's use though this being low enough to see probably means it >

>was either near the end of it's life or malfunctioning.

How many washing machines is that?

One, but it's a really big one.

I guess it refers to the spy balloon that has been spotted over US.

That looks like a rocket motor after mid-flight, high energy reconfiguration of the rest of the vehicle.

Surveillance flights over the US literally happen every day. Planes, balloons, satellites. No biggy.
q2grapple
Well, the weather is warm with a chance of falling spy balloons … back to you in the studios.
prettydumb
bro they could have just looked at google maps lol
SaturnineCult
And now they know exactly the capabilities of that missile type.

Just like the Russians did not believe the USA when they said the U-2 shot down over Russia was an off course NASA weather aircraft :)

I guess? It's just part of the game. Everyone tries to spy, while everyone also tries to defend against spying.

Video stops like 5 seconds too soon with the sound
BigTittyGothKitty
I got spooked and hit the button to stop recording on accident ?
Acc87
I guess the bang was a sonic boom from the F-22, not the missile exploding? The jet needed speed to get this high.
armagetz
Eh. Not knowing munitions I can’t say you are wrong. But a fighter could shoot have shot it down at cruising altitude from a AIM-120ER
armagetz
Looked like it was a 9-x missile, so not as high a performer but the fighter csn go up to 65k. Supersonic was just because that’s what f-22
armagetz
Cruise at.
WeirdPalSpankovich
Wanna hear something wild? Chinese balloon was at 66,000 feet. Raptor has highest max altitude of 65,000 (for a fighter). Hard to...
WeirdPalSpankovich
tell from the footage, but it kinda looks like the jet is at altitude with the balloon, if not higher. Makes me wonder if they used...
WeirdPalSpankovich
some prototype shit that isn't public, or if the Raptor can fly higher, just not for extended periods?
BigTittyGothKitty
Also yes this is a video I took just a few minutes ago.
SkamanSam
Does this mean you live in NC? I loved living there and will always miss it, but i wont go back. It took a backslide abt 10 years ago.

Just off of Myrtle Beach. It was the right thing to do.

Did they find her purse?

Why say," you gota be kidding me" you dont thing anyone should shoot down spy baloon?

Uh, whats this supposed to mean? I was clarifying with a comment that this was MY footage since I tried to upload this 3x by now.
jasonboison
When someone posts and comments on their post, it's called a double dip here. Nothing wrong with doing it lmfao

Sell this shit to the news. Grats on being rich
BigTittyGothKitty
Nah they got way better footage I'm sure

Honestly haven't seen any footage like this!

Thanks for the video @OP!

Yes worth reaching out this is great footage. Make your dough
PineappleLoopsBroether
Try it, you might be surprised. Even if it’s only $500 that’s worth a few phone calls.

For real, it's been 3 hours and yours is still the best footafe I've seen
TheGreatSynan
I had a friend get a few hundred for footage of the nearby river flooding for the news. We all were surprised, and this is national stuff.

Legit, they dont. This is the best I've seen, get in it now. Cotact Getty in an email
varyael
They'll fix the stabilization and all that shit, raw is best for this situation

If you don't, someone else will. Seriously. Take this down & try to sell it. Unless you need points more than money, it's worth a shot.

I don't think journalists can use your footage without your explicit permission. Regardless if it's already online.

Isn’t this footage already public info?

But still footage that they don't possess
