Shooting down this unidentified object never happened. The story is generated to show how resolute our spineless leader really is. Can anyone prove that there was an unidentified flying object? Why do we believe habitual liars?

One assumes aloft without IFF and no response to interrogations. That’s unauthorized entry into sovereign airspace of the US and grounds for interception.

Don’t worry — we have NATO to cover our a$$.(NATO members are most likely pissed at us for shooting down this UFO).

FlightAware24 has one of these orbiting the shoot down site...
HC-130J
The HC-130J replaces HC-130P/Ns as the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. It is an extended-range version of the C-130J Hercules transport. Its mission is to rapidly deploy to execute combatant commander directed recovery operations to austere airfields and denied territory for expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery operations to include airdrop, airland, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area ground refueling missions.

I bet you we have jumpers on the wreckage right now!

So Joe’s ChiComm buddies do him a solid by sending another balloon over Alaska so he can shoot it down and look like a tough guy.

Biden trying to redo the narrative.

Apparently, the earlier one wasn’t registering well with the focus groups and internal poll takers.
