The General who gave a public announcement stated that the pilots had positively โIdentifiedโ the object before shooting it down. They (the US government and military) know what it is they just donโt want the public to know what it is ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
@Mr. Martini โฆI think we, the citizens, have a right to know what exactly is going on. You may not care until a bomb is falling on you but then itโs too late. We spend Billions of dollars in this Country for defense not Bullshit. I think our leadership, mainly the President, is and has been compromised by our enemies. These incidents should not be taken lightly. Again, we citizens fund this Government and we have a right to know what is being done about all this and who is responsible for these intrusions to our sovereignty.
More made in China balloons?

I didn’t hear that. Heard they said the confirmed it was ‘Umanned”(how ever you do that :/ !) Or..they have a different definition of ‘Man-ned’
I wonder if they seen me bangin my old lady bent over the tailgate of my pickup truck today.
I’d say it’s not easy to get a good look going 350 mph
They are gathering data first via spy planes like the U2 and other means.
Lol you mean this jet canโt slow down to take a look?
@chirag mehta that’s not what I experienced in the movie Hot Shots
I thought F35 can hover??
@William Russell then we are screwed Bec any adversary can put biological agent or emp pulse device on slow moving ballon and destroy usa.
And this is why eye witness and anecdotal experiences are some of the worst forms of evidence.
Exactly, well trained pilots are just as susceptible to cognitive bias. The Pentagon videos were a perfect example of the pilots claims being inconstant with the infrared footage.
Good thing they have cameras.
Well if there are no eye witnesses then the point is moot.
They probed it with a missile before it could probe us
Hopefully the Alien Mothership doesn’t over-react. Whelp! I guess just in time for Independence Day. ๐
Sounds like a hazard to commercial flights.๐จ
All this action is way above what commercial aircraft fly.
If it is aliens can they save us from all the influencers?Take them to their intergalactic zoo or something.
They will need a solid gold cage to get trump to go.
We should do that anyway, those people are a sub-species of homosapien, they’ve devolved into something lesser
@lookronjon
They’ll just need a 10 year old girl to get Biden to go.
Pilots donโt speak about missions.
So true
Are you a pilot. Iโve heard quite a few stories from pilots about their missions o we the years.
I say they said it on purpose cause they know the atc recordings are available to the public an they know people will panic,,if it was an actual alien craft they will go silent an make sure the pilots stay quiet
Regarding conflicting pilot accounts of avionic interference: F-22 was used on Friday, F-35 was used on Saturday; different planes, different avionics. Worth noting F-22 avionics are much older than those of the F-35, and would be more susceptible to jamming. F-35 anti-jamming is extremely sophisticated. It’s possible the difference in aircraft have something to do with the accounts of interference. Very unusual. Reliability of avionic sensors/electro-optical sensors have been perfected over decades. This should not have happened, and the chances that such an error occurs during intercept are exceedingly low. Pilot error maybe?
The one shot down on Friday is reported to be the size of a car, so if it is a blimp/balloon [and its flight characteristics indicate that its not a balloon, but a powered UAV of sorts], according to my calculations: its _maximum_ payload is about 600 grams (1.3lbs). 600 grams is about 3 smartphones. Yet, somehow, this thing managed to withstand incredibly powerful winds that exist a that altitude, and lattitude. Not just that, but it hovered for 15 hours, and flew 20mph to 40mph towards the North Pole all day Thursday. No solar blimp of that size could possibly have done that. A blimp so puny would have gotten blown to the middle east via an eastward-blowing jet stream (I believe), with the relative force of a rip tide to a duckling. Regardless, this thing seems to have achieved controlled flight, and that should not be possible for a blimp, one of the few craft that could possibly muster such flight characteristics and endurance.
Now, of course, perhaps the pilots mischaracterized the thing. The one intercepted on Saturday was intercepted by F-35s. This fact is important. The F-35 has an electro-optical sensors suite called DAS, developed by Northrop Grumman. DAS is a 360-degree ultra-high-resolution multispectral camera system. The pilots intercepting the one shot down on Saturday could have literally zoomed right in on the object. DoD reports that pilots didn’t see any propulsion systems. That’s suuuper weird. Again, with the help of DAS, the pilots could have taken a metaphorical microscope to the thing. Crazy.
Gets even weirder: the one shot down on Saturday is reported to be cylindrical and silver-grey; very similar to the weird objects tracked by a US carrier battlegroup in 2008. The ones tracked in 2008 were spotted multiple times, on multiple radars, cameras, and were even spotted by pilots’ own eyes. DoD said this themselves.
Is this like a multiple choice test and the longest answer is usually right?
Great info, either it’s WW3 or we shot down an alien spaceship.
Question, i know the f35 can hover, can it hover at that altitude? The guy said the pilots can’t get a good look at the speed they were going.
Great insight!
@Richard617 There is an altitude limit. Probably to do with ground effect (look up Caspian Sea Monster as an example).
“interfering with the plane’s sensors” = “opening hailing frequencies” ?
US officials need to contact Chinese counterparts to know whether the Chinese are going to send more such objects. If so, the US should develop some heat resistant nets that could be thrown from a fighter jet to bring these objects down โaliveโ

It was George Santos flying a classified mission for the Intergalctic Federation .

I’d like to see some of the cockpit film footage of those panties they were talking about that flew off the rear view mirror and started blowing around inside the cabin after they opened the left front vent window by mistake.
She is absolutely stunning. I’d watch the news all day to see her.
Now, I know why that lady official got out front last night, and was scoffing at aliens for some reason. She knew something everyone else didn’t know.
Just saw one of those bull weather balloon type things flying along straight line not a down way faster than any one of them could go the other day when I was digging the trench.. my coworker said how did you know to look up?… I just felt it as I have many times with anomalous flight path of these apparent weather balloons is mind-boggling sometimes…
It’s just the aliens saying:
“We’ve been trying to reach you regarding your car’s extended warranty”
LMAO!!
