(172,716 posts)As is often noted - even as far back as the Gulf War over 30 years ago - our satellites "can see a license plate" from orbit. They had been monitoring the thing since it came in Canada's and then our airspace and I expect got some really good close-ups on it. Hell, there have been "close-ups" being posted in these threads that people posted to twitter so you can imagine the tech that our military would have.
From what I recall from the earlier reporting, they also scrambled 3 jets out of Spokane to take a look.
It's sad to see how so many have been brainwashed to believe that even under a Democratic President, we are a failed bumbling nation no different than that under 45.
As a note - Biden was headed to Camp David after he left here in Philly. I'm trying to remember if he had actually been there during his current term as President.
