We just shot down another balloon off Alaska.

We have no knowledge of what this was. Where do you get the info? I know, you made it up. Nobody knows who owns it or what it did. It was an unidentified flying object until the blanks are filled in. The military today said it was NOT a balloon.

What idiots like Bidenpresident doesn't understand but wars have been started over things like this. I'm not saying it will happen only that this has the potential to turn serious.

The object over Alaska was not a balloon. If you quit drinking you'd realize that your links about about the huge balloon that was shot down in the Atlanta last weekend. They are not about the Alaskan object.

This one was lower and had a smaller payload. China pressing the test button?

Until they recover the wreckage, if they do, we won't know what it was. Hopefully something innocent but with China acting the fool it's anyone's guess at this point.

TOM
Sorry you are mistaken. It was a balloon.

An F-22 fighter jet from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson shot down an unidentified object flying above Alaska’s North Slope on Friday, officials at the White House said.

The shootdown, at 9:45 a.m. Alaska time, took place less than a week after an Air Force fighter jet shot down a Chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of South Carolina.

Federal officials repeatedly declined to say whether the object was a balloon.

John Kirby, the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House, said in a news conference that the object on Friday was “much, much smaller” than the Chinese surveillance balloon and was “about the size of a small car.”

Kirby said it wasn’t immediately clear whether the object was from China.

President Joe Biden ordered the object be shot down, Kirby said. It was traveling at an elevation of about 40,000 feet and could have posed a threat to commercial aviation, he said.

NORAD, in charge of air defense over North America, detected the object with ground-based radar on Thursday, according to the Defense Department.

A fighter jet inspected it visually, Kirby said. The president gave his order Friday morning after consulting military officials, and a jet conducted a second visual inspection before the balloon was shot down with an air-to-air missile.

Kirby said the flybys didn’t reveal much.

“They did the best they could, but again the speed and the conditions up there as well as the size of the object made it a little bit more difficult,” he said.

Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, a Defense Department spokesperson, said the object’s origin isn’t yet known.

The first spy balloon was Chinese.

Yes, the second object is unidentified.

The balloon over Latin America is Chinese too

The “huge balloon that was shot down in the ***Atlanta***” was not in “Atlanta,” I live near Atlanta and no balloons were shot down here...lol

The Atlantic is a long way from Atlanta.
