    Only Schumer has claimed they were all balloons. No one else has described the last 3 as balloons.

    From what I've gathered, they weren't prepared for the Chinese spy balloon. Our air defenses have not been adjusted for small objects before and it caused panic when they were.

    The real situation is that we've only built our air defense for Russian bombers flying over the Arctic. And, we've never expected small objects to come from elsewhere. The rest of our radar air defenses are using outdated 1980s technology and are obsolete.

    Why the government suddenly started detecting mysterious aerial objects (msn.com)

    Without pictures of the objects or retrieved wreckage, this is just all bullshit propaganda. Maybe they'll find those Iraqi WMDs during the search..

    What I recall is that it was a balloon without anything attached, like a spy package that the Chinese spy balloon had. It probably just fell off of the balloon or something.

    So Kirby said. I’m not buying the BS. Kirby said it was well known the Chinese military was using spy balloons for years.

    They had a security briefing today and none of the objects were described as balloons. That’s all they could tell the media.

    The only picture that I recall seeing is of the shot torn ripped balloon.

    That is very possible if not outright likely.

    You mean that is all they wanted to tell the media, right?

    We are too close to the Far East of Siberian Russia.

    I didn’t get that from those who were asked what they learned.

    Which is why we know that was a balloon.

    Ok, thanks for the information. I missed it because I was busy studying. I'll have to look into it.

    Meanwhile, this has encouraged me to open a new thread topic in the conspiracy section about an alien encounter I had years ago: The UFO shootdowns Remind me of an alien encounter years ago.

    Maybe one of these days, I'll get lucky and say something that will get them to declassify something.

    If you want to have fun, then you should know that there was a train wreck the same day, and some are saying this whole UFO thing was to distract from an agenda to destroy farmland by burning noxious chemicals and threatening our food supply.

    I am surprised there hasn’t been much coverage on that. YouTube is where I heard about it .

    It was a big sports night, or so I've heard (I don't watch sports). They just needed to stall the news long enough for people to change the channel to sports and they were home safe. See, fun! :)

    They are doing all this fake bs to distract from the "Nordstream blown up by the US" story. Hey, look over here, not there.

    The link I previously provided in a different thread described low altitude weather balloons that have a gondola shaped payload. These weather balloons are also the same size as a small car. These weather balloons are also able to stay at fixed altitude. A gondola is octagon shaped. These descriptions match what has been given about the last three objects shot down. The Pentagon is embarrassed which is why nothing more is being said

    I have no doubt the UFO's are intended to be a distraction from something.

    No the last 3 have been described as objects. Only Schumer has called them balloons. The Commander of NATO said he would not rule out anything when asked if they might be extraterrestrial.

    So Chucky Cheeze Schumer is a hot air balloon expert- who knew. I am happy that Schumer has been a great supporter of Ukraine since the Russian invasion but there are times that he blurts out %+-$=&€£]~ stuff.

    Hmmm are you heading into the QANON-STAN dimension or are you posting this for fun? I will read that post of yours so I can compare my experience with an UFL- Unidentified Fying Light? I say light because we have never proven that UFOs are physical objects.

    I just scanned post and come, to the conclusion that you are taking a course in creative writing. Good luck. Sorry that I responded but hey time to get back to not believing anything in this land of BS.
