ВАШИНГТОН, 10 фев (Рейтер) — Американский истребитель F-22 в пятницу сбил неопознанный объект, летевший высоко над Аляской, заявили официальные лица США менее чем через неделю после того, как военные сбили его. китайский воздушный шар, пролетевший над Соединенными Штатами. Ракета «Сайдвиндер» сбила последний корабль размером с небольшой автомобиль, сказал бриг США. Генерал Патрик Райдер, главный представитель Пентагона. «Мы не знаем, кому принадлежит этот объект», — заявил представитель Белого дома Джон Кирби, добавив, что неясно, откуда он начал свой полет. Президент Джо Байден отдал приказ о стрельбе, о чем было объявлено из Белого дома. 4 февраля еще один американский истребитель F-22 сбил то, что правительство США назвало китайским разведывательным аэростатом, у побережья Южной Каролины после недельного полета по Соединенным Штатам и некоторым частям Канады. Правительство Китая заявило, что это было гражданское исследовательское судно. Некоторые законодатели раскритиковали президента за то, что он не сбил китайский воздушный шар раньше. Американские военные рекомендовали подождать, пока он не окажется над океаном, опасаясь травм от падающих обломков. Пентагон и Белый дом отказались дать подробное описание новейшего объекта, заявив лишь, что он намного меньше китайского воздушного шара. Официальные лица США отказались строить предположения о том, что это за объект, даже после дня наблюдения, что вызвало вопросы о том, что за объект может быть так сложно идентифицировать опытным пилотам США и сотрудникам разведки. Пентагон заявил, что впервые он был обнаружен в четверг с помощью наземных радаров. Затем для расследования были отправлены самолеты F-35. НЛО летел на высоте около 40 000 футов (12 190 метров) в северо-восточном направлении, создавая опасность для гражданского воздушного движения. Объект был сбит у побережья северо-восточной Аляски над замерзшими территориальными водами США недалеко от канадской границы. Официальные лица заявили, что извлечь части объекта изо льда будет намного проще, чем с китайским шаром, части которого затонули в океане, когда он был сбит… Остальное читайте по ссылке
Furthermore, I remember them realizing there were a LOT of unidentified objects in our airspace after they changed some radar setting during this whole debacle. I’d really like some more explanation regarding that.

um, you were *supposed* to be distracted by bullshit or whatever and not care about any follow-ups. get with the program and go fuss about reality tv or something /s
Canada said it was a cylinder…then it magically became a hobbyist balloon….then it got hushed up.
The whole shootdown thing was probably the most frustrating aspect of following this topic. Like it was right in our faces that something really weird was going on and the government has just been so obviously bullshitting us with mixed signals and manipulative language. And now, even though no clear answers have been given, nobody cares about it besides the UFO community. goddamn…
Apparently the Pentagon likes to spend tax payer money on shooting down “hobby balloons “ /s
One thing that stuck out to me when this all went down was how, for a while by that point, everything in the media had switched from UFO to UAP. But, when the balloon shootdowns happened it was all «UFO» this, and «UFO» that.
Big red flag for me. Screamed that there was an intention of stigmatizing looking into what was happening.
My read on the whole fiasco at this point is the Chinese Balloon was not for spying and was off-track meteorological equipment. The Chinese even told the US about it in advance. When the upgraded radar equipment and new filters were put in place the US saw some anomalous shit. They shoot down the balloon first and go apeshit over it so all the dummies look at the «spy balloon» and freak out over racist fears of «Red China». While people are distracted they take down the real UAP (likely with exotic techniques) and quickly haul it out of Deadhorse. All inquiries about that event are lied about and stonewalled until everyone forgets and the news-cycle moves on.
Oh, and throw in another mundane shootdown for dramatic effect.
What Would theoretically be worse or as crazy as a nuclear weapon being launched on the United States🤔🤔 👽 of course! It’s totally aliens guys! I’m being sarcastic obviously but I do wonder if another country to launched a nuclear weapon against the continental United States and we ultimately shot them down, Would we really want to panic the populace??? Food for thought. Nanu-Nanu peeps.
I believe it was an alien craft and bodies were recovered.
If bringing alien UFO’s down with 1970’s missiles was that easy, anyone could do it.
​
If you think the US government is going to tell you what they shot down, you haven’t been paying attention.
​
The US government lies for a living. You will never know what they shot at.
They were able to retrieve the wreck of the titan at 13k ft in no time but couldn’t retrieve the object shot down over Lake Huron max depth 800ft (conveniently waited to shoot down over the most isolated part)

Is it possible they never actually shot anything down & it was to save face because of the Chinese balloon fiasco?
Fucking apartchecks.
Balloons are happy… happy time!!!!!
How about the first bigger balloon had a few much smaller drones attached to it and released them at some point before being shot down ? Acting as a carrier for the intended surveillance/ spy drones ? The only detail they seem to give about it was that it was « much smaller ».
Didn’t the hobby club associated with balloons admit they were missing one? But yet, you people try and make it into a government conspiracy.
I don’t believe either of the tic tac shaped ufos were alien. Most likely Lockheed made them. Alien craft seem to be able to control our aircraft or at least move too fast for missiles. We shot our own guys down.
We’ve no idea whatsoever, and neither does the NIBBB. 🤷♂️
What’s so secretive about shooting down this hobbyist balloon that is different from shooting down a Chinese spy balloon????
Why doesn’t a member of the public build their own radar? Surely you can buy 20 year old radars on eBay or something
I think it ended up being gay
The fact they can pull up wreckage of a billionaires submersible from 13000 feet within a few weeks make the notion they didnt immediately find this thing laugable.
It was jeesus riding swamp gas into Lazarus, mecca or whatever…
