The Chinese spy balloon seems to be part of a larger surveillance operation

The spy balloon of Chinese origin is still the talk of the town because according to sources of American intelligence, it would be part of a very large Chinese military surveillance operation.

Still according to the information of the American intelligence, this recovered balloon was part of a program of surveillance initiated by the Chinese army, reports CNN.

https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1623148704923373569

Several such balloons have been, or are, in the sky to conduct a guided mission through China’s small Hainan province.

The United States does not know the number of balloons belonging to this Chinese province, but everything indicates that at least two dozen of the fleet would have traveled at least the top of five continents.

In fact, according to a report by an official familiar with the intelligence, several of the balloons were in U.S. airspace, but did not touch down on U.S. soil.

It should also be noted that the balloons that were “killed” were not all of the same design as the one that was destroyed off the coast of South Carolina last week. We would speak of multiple variations.

The current U.S. mission, of course, is to try to learn as much as possible about the intelligence that balloons can gather. U.S. intelligence wants to understand the technical capabilities of the balloon…

Meanwhile, China still maintains that it was a weather balloon launched off course, but the country still finds itself in crisis management.

Bolts fan attacks Panthers mascot!

A Tampa Bay Lightning fan didn’t like the 7-1 blowout his team suffered last Monday against the Florida Panthers, so he took matters into his own hands by fighting with the Panthers mascot.

A video of the scene was shared and it quickly went viral. A Lightning fan (unidentified) can be seen attacking Viktor E. Ratt, the second mascot of the Florida organization.

A man wearing a blue jersey grabbed the mascot’s jersey and pulled it over his head, as the big dog had apparently just thrown the mascot’s jersey into the crowd.

Following this, the Lightning fanatic pushed the big plushie into a glass railing, in front of the astonished eyes of some people. The fan in question even attempted a partial chokehold on the mascot, while yelling “Go Bolts!”.

A Panthers’ trainer finally stepped in to stop it…

Was it staged?

Some people wondered, but a Panthers spokesperson said it was not staged!

The Florida Panthers organization has obviously opened an investigation into the incident.

Monstrous amount of cocaine found floating in the sea

New Zealand authorities seized no less than three tons of cocaine floating in the ocean. This discovery was made during one of the largest operations (Operation Hydros) in the country, CNN reports.

81 bundles of cocaine weighing 3.5 short tons were recovered directly from the Pacific Ocean, as police, customs and defense forces worked hand in hand for this Hydros operation.

According to one of the leaders of the police operation, this mountain of cocaine is valued at 318 million dollars (US).

For the moment, very little information has been released about it, but the police filed a press release last Wednesday, and it talked about the haul, while presenting several images.

Most of the packages recovered are marked with a four-leaf clover, but on one of them shows a Batman logo. All of these packages were actually destined for Australia, according to an international syndicate.

We are talking about one of the largest seizures of illegal drugs in this country and this one, the drug, will be destroyed, after the navy brought it back after six days at sea.

No arrests have been made, but an international investigation is underway.

Drake places 7 psychotic bets on the Super Bowl

The rapper Drake, who loves to put a lot of his fortune into sports betting, has just made no less than seven psychotic bets on the Super Bowl.

Drake placed $700,000 on the Kansas City Chiefs as the winner of Super Bowl LVII against the Philadelphia Eagles. If he wins all his bets, he will pocket a cool $4.5 million.

It was Thursday night that the Toronto rapper took to Instagram to show off his bets for this duel, calling them psychotic.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CodU1gLNf_0/?hl=fr

Note that the Philadelphia Eagles are favorites to win this matchup.

That said, Drake said not to analyze the logic behind his picks since there was none.

In all, he placed over $1 million, including $700,000 on a Chiefs win, remember.

Drake also bet $50,000 on Patrick Mahomes and Juju Smith-Schuster scoring the Chiefs’ first touchdown, while betting the same amount on the Chiefs winning both halves.

Add to all these small bets, a small $30,000 on the Chiefs winning each quarter, a $25,000 on Travis Kelce being named the MVP and $60,000 on the MVP winner being a tight end.

It’s worth noting that Drake pocketed no less than $2 million in a $1 million bet on the Chiefs’ win over the Bengals… but he also lost $1 million at the World Cup and $2 million on UFC last November.

Lewis Hamilton prepares for the F1 season… while surfing!

To prepare for the 2023 Formula 1 season, Lewis Hamilton is surfing to make sure he is mentally ready to try and win his 8th career title. This 8th title would make him the most successful driver in history, ahead of the Red Baron, Michael Schumacher.

For a long time, Sir Lewis has not hidden his love for surfing, which is his favorite sport outside of racing, of course.

Emotionally and physically, this sport, this break, frees his mind and invigorates him.

As Lewis himself said, it’s the calm before the storm!

Here are a few photos he shared on his Instagram account, where we see him enjoying these last moments in the surf during his winter vacations.

The 38-year-old driver, who has a lot of pressure on his shoulders ahead of the upcoming season, headed to the beach with famed art director and great friend Daniel Forrest to further enjoy this seaside outing.

In a video Lewis shared, the song We Saw the Sun can be heard in the background, which is a perfect indication of his happy state of mind heading into the 2023 season.

Let’s also remember that Lewis Hamilton even went to Antarctica this year to train in a different climate.

Let’s face it, Sir Lewis is ready!

No cryptocurrency ads at the Super Bowl!

During Super Bowl LVII, no cryptocurrency ads will be seen due to the collapse of FTX earlier in 2022, according to a report filed by FOX, the Daily Mail also reports.

That will make a change from last year, when no fewer than four companies flooded the broadcast with “spots” featuring Tom Brady, Larry David and LeBron James.

In addition, the advertising space for the duel of titans between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles was sold out, despite the absence of FTX and others.

https://twitter.com/DailyMail/status/1622951096426569729

Remember that during last year’s Super Bowl, which was dubbed the Crypto Bowl because of all the space it took up, FTX, Coinbase, Crypto.com and eToro held several spots, including sports stars, to charm the general public.

In the case of FTX, the company filed for bankruptcy and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried was indicted for allegedly making a plan to defraud his investors, including Tom Brady. Brady has been named in a class action lawsuit regarding the bankruptcy of this company.

Note that this year, during the broadcast of Super Bowl LVII, four crypto-currency companies had booked advertisements, but the contracts will not be concluded because of the status of FTX.

Commercials that are, by the way, sold for between $6 and $7 million for a 30-second spot. It pays for the companies that advertise during the Super Bowl show since it attracts more than 100 million viewers each year.
