Why didn't he say "Fox Two" after firing? Presumably because there was no risk of friendly fire in the area of operations? https://t.co/aH2RpZptqD — PolitiTweet.org

Several people have reminded me of the Japanese balloon-bomb attacks during World War II. Yep, that counts. "Only two balloons were ever shot down over continental North America; several were shot down over the Aleutian Islands." https://t.co/yaGPDtJxbh https://t.co/KxLg0hO5iU — PolitiTweet.org

I do enjoy how the CNN story makes it sound like the balloon went on a little adventure. I hope it had fun! It knew the risks. https://t.co/YzLgZqL5wS — PolitiTweet.org

Combine this detail with the fact that China apparently had some control over the balloon's movement, and its continued journey across the country seems rather defiant. https://t.co/coRTWuQxmx — PolitiTweet.org

CNN has a good tick-tock of the balloon drama, with new details on the balloon's design and DOD/FAA pre-strike coordination. https://t.co/hsSOw5GTxd U.S. official on the balloon's journey: "We’ve never seen something as brazen as this." https://t.co/1n1l0afA6y — PolitiTweet.org

It looks to my extremely untrained eye like the missile hit the electronics bay instead of the balloon itself. Was that deliberate? You'd think that's the part they'd want as intact as possible. Maybe they figured it would be largely crushed by ocean impact anyway? — PolitiTweet.org
