1. Jet vs balloon? Hardly seems like a fair fight.

At 7:18 pm, the City of Billings said officials have confirmed with Montana Disaster & Emergency Services and with Governor Greg Gianforte that there have not been any explosions in, around, or across Montana: "They are aware of the video and it can not be substantiated."

14. It's a fake

Be sure to check her poshmark listings on that account.

The flash and bang timing are consistent with an event only half a mile away. It looks more like the iPhone adjusting exposure - same as when images from the video were posted long ago:

You don’t know the woman in the video. Nobody else in town saw or heard a thing.

People will do a lot for attention.

19. Wonder if she knows the balloon is just fine.

Apparently making its sedate way to the Midwest.

3. Wouldn't surprise me

The news reports I heard sounded like they had enough info to determine this was no errant weather balloon.

It was being navigated by satellites, for Dog’s sake.

We shall see….

4. Not seeing this online

anywhere?

[Effete Snob]

7. There is an unsubstantiated viral video

Which no one has been able to confirm is real.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Not unsubstantiated to woman who filmed it

15. Bullshit

There are 100,000 people in Billings. No one else saw, heard, or photographed anything.

[BlackSkimmer]

18. Yeah, morning news says it's still there.

Bizarre

[SCantiGOP]

5. It hasn't been over Montana since yesterday

Evening news said it was over Kansas or Missouri

[dchill]

10. The hell with facts!

[UTUSN]

8. Fine with me!

[rubbersole]

9. Has faux news reported "some say"...

..the balloon is carrying a briefcase full of cash for Hunter Biden? Just asking questions.

[2naSalit]

13. +1

[BlackSkimmer]

16. I just woke up and saw this.

I can't find anything official.

[brettdale]

17. Someone

Posted a pic that said it was taken from the uk in 2020. Thing is she posted a video of it on twitter. So it's not the uk pic

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. True despite how people trash her and trash people

Who mention her and what she's saying, her video is obviously real. I don't know what she saw. But she worked at a military base, isn't that enough to ar least listen to her?

End rant. Sorry you're the luck one

[EX500rider]

21. Except the balloon passed into other states already? nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. She didn't say it was balloon did she?. Just that she saw and

Filmed the inexplicable

[BlackSkimmer]

24. The balloon is supposedly over NC now.

She said she saw something, but no one in her area, including emergency authorities, saw or heard anything.

I'm afraid she was another "15 minutes of fame" types. Perhaps she believed it.

[bluestarone]

23. Still no source?
