it must be on our own drones they sent up, to shoot it down, so they could take credit for doing something, when in fact they did nothing of value...
They would do anything to cover up for their previous a$$ ki$$ing of xi and his CCP partners in crime... via the big balloon caper.
They take action to avoid taking the heat for their inaction... even if its a false flag move... to take down our own straw ufo target... aka... old drone...
At this stage that is as plausible as anything else.
