The US Air Force has a sense of humor and I can prove it. It's entirely possible they weren't trying to be funny when they shared an epic selfie with the spy balloon when it was cruising over Missouri, but that's what has happened.

You might recall that we were one of the first places to alert you that the alleged Chinese spy balloon was on a path to do directly over Missouri (which it did). Not trying to say I told you so, but I told you so. Well, something interesting happened as it was going over Missouri. A US fighter took a pic of it that also happens to show rural Missouri below.

The Department of Defense shared this about the photo:

You're likely never gonna see a spy balloon from this perspective ever again.

As you no doubt know by now, the alleged Chinese spy balloon went boom over Myrtle Beach a few days after it passed over Missouri. That has led me to draw the following conclusion. The final picture (from space anyway) of the balloon was taken as a selfie with Missouri. Talk about a brush with spy balloon greatness. We were there.

The fun crowd on Rumble are having fun with this as you might imagine.

Bonus points if you can spot yourself on the ground in the photo above.
