This CNN article -

Initial classified balloon report wasn't flagged as urgent, drawing criticism

A day before the suspected Chinese spy balloon entered US airspace over Alaska, the Defense Intelligence Agency quietly sent an internal report that a foreign object was headed towards US territory, military and intelligence officials familiar with the matter told CNN.

www.cnn.com

mentions

"The US sent up U-2 spy planes to track the balloon’s progress, according to US officials.

One pilot took a selfie in the cockpit that shows both the pilot and the surveillance balloon itself, these officials said – an image that has already gained legendary status in both NORAD and the Pentagon."


Has anyone seen that photo?

Balloon Control to CCP Party Central. Sir, there is a guy waving to us on the camera we attached to the balloon. Should we wave back?

Okay now that I have my head screwed on correctly (need to pay more attention to installation instructions).

I have the initial feed from down here in southern NJ for mil air stuff.

The link is active and is 73.196.59.184:5000

Will try to keep it online as much as possible and I am still working on the optimal antenna configuration etc for the setup.

Terry is your other link (76.124.165.101:5050) still up? I'm no longer able to connect.

Yes saw that and know it's them, but wasn't sure if it is the Commander or someone else. I've seen that callsign several times.

 

[Larry51]

Hearing a lot of air-air traffic on 298.3 but it's not clear enough to catch a callsign. Not sure if it's NORAD or South Carolina ANG.
