Witness captures moment suspected spy balloon is shot down
A man who witnessed the suspected Chinese spy balloon being shot down by military aircraft is sharing his story. He described the historic moment and how he was able to capture it.
맥스카지노I just went for a walk and was hoping to see the dolphins 맥스카지노 took my camera,맥스카지노 said Gordon Dunn.
He usually photographs wildlife, but on Saturday afternoon, he stumbled upon something else wild near his Myrtle Beach home.
맥스카지노I knew something was up because I맥스카지노ve never seen so many people out on the beach during the winter,맥스카지노 he said.
The suspected Chinese spy balloon was floating high above, with fighter jets darting around it.
맥스카지노They kept getting closer and closer, and they were doing practice runs맥스카지노 towards the balloon and circling back out,맥스카지노 Dunn said.
As the planes shot the balloon, Dunn took photos from 60,000 feet below, capturing the moment with his 500-millimeter lens.
맥스카지노They had shot it down, and about five, six seconds later, you could hear the boom,맥스카지노 he said. 맥스카지노Then, after the boom, you could see the parachute and bits and pieces falling.맥스카지노
So, what was going through his mind when he realized what he was witnessing? 맥스카지노History,맥스카지노 he laughed. 맥스카지노This is probably the first and last time I맥스카지노d ever get to see it.맥스카지노
Dunn and his wife are from Canada but live in Myrtle Beach during the winter. He said he just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
It's something he will never forget.
맥스카지노The memory will be there for as long as I'm around,맥스카지노 he said, and his photos will share that memory for generations to come.
