"Object" Shot Down over Alaska

[bunsen82]

One has to ask oneself if they're safer now than they were from 2016-2020.

At least I know the US will not become the next North Korea, China Russia ect. So thats definitely heads and shoulders better. As to everything else, Trump started us down the path to confrontation with China, so eh you reap what you sow, amirite?

GREAT idea. 🙄
Apparently you don’t live within 100 miles of a military installation?
I live directly under the flight path of NAS Jax and it would ruin my day for sure.

Rock Island Arsenal to the East and Omaha to the West.

MAGA's are such pussies

So, uh, we just shot down another over Canada. Trudeau asked us to.

Dark Brandon is owning the skies.
Although, part of me wonders if we just downed some drones that some oil company was using to plot out future drilling spots, or a National Geographic drone following a herd of caribou.

 

[pocha444444]

Another one over Montana now??

 

[JRHawk2003]

Are these UAP's?

Is this new?

This administration's airspace and borders are looser than the town whore.

They literally shot it down over the ocean genius. Or (to borrow your analogy) it never got in, so the flying object was like your penis, and America’s military was like every woman you’ve attempted to get with.

What I'd like to know is why Canada asked the US to shoot down the latest one. Canada has an Air Force of over 18,000 with almost 2000 reserves. Why couldn't THEY have shot it down?

Ahh yes, the good ol’ days when we just let these balloons float across our country.

because now the p-ssies up north can blame us

Pentagon has acknowledged that until very recently they lacked the ability to track these.
It still must not be fully operational because they let it get a couple of hundred miles inland over the Yukon before they took it out. Right?

 

[goldmom]

Because NORAD is given the operational authority and Trudeau only had to be informed rather than giving anybody any orders. There’s no way the Canadians couldn’t have been told because it was over their airspace.

It's War!!!

Kirby just said it was the size of a small car....no more details

U.S. Shoots Down High-Altitude Object Over Alaska

The incident comes less than a week after a U.S. fighter jet brought down a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic during a diplomatic crisis.

Gotta get rid of that World War 1 technology threat before the wingnuts die of panic attacks. JFC.

The pentagon hasn’t released info on what a couple of these “objects” actually were. Kind of interested what the “car sized” object was…

The intelligence gathered by balloon technology, as in the 1st one shot down, can be collected by various means. This is nothing more than the bizzare, fruitcake infantile insanity we have come to expect to from this Republican party.

I think they are doing this to make fools of us.

 

[Funky Bunch]

When Donald Trump was President dammit Chinese spy balloons floated across the country undetected dammit and it was a hell of a lot safer dammit!!%!

Yogi Berra'isms filtered through MAGA idiocy. Gotta be some kind of "want of bee" term that can be invented for this type of stuff.

They didn't go undetected. He saw them and we laughed at him.

They all saw them

[desihawk]

random question from someone who enjoys mission impossible type movies: how feasible is it to have a agent climb aboard one of these balloons and make a soft landing?

 

[ELCHawk]

Another one shot down over Lake Huron today. I read on CNN (I believe) that it was the shape of a pentagon and had strings hanging out.
