CNN: US Pilots approaching object shot down over Alaska said the aircraft interfered with their plane’s sensors, another said they ‘could identify no identifiable propulsion system and they did not know how it was actually staying in the air
I read that in Arts voice thanks loved him and his show

It didn’t have a super strong baby inside, did it?
asthma=asmuth
Lol
Beautiful, thanks.
“Gotta be better than living under Democrats...”
Similar reaction by Ukranians to Wehrmacht in WWII...!
Pilots made it clear it was not a balloon. A solid object with no visible means of propulsion.
Chinese spy balloon which was over Latin America and which the Chinese admitted was theirs?
that story was dropped 5 days ago, it seems!

Dropped because of bad weather in recovery area.
AIM 9X
Guidance and navigation
The infrared (IR) homing guidance section performs tracking and guidance functions. The AIM-9X is a system-guided missile employing a mid-wave IR FPA seeker. The seeker, equipped with High Off-Boresight (HOBS), can be used with a helmet-mounted sight for wider attack envelope.
It uses passive infrared (IR) energy for target acquisition and tracking. After the launch, the seeker follows the heat signature from the engines of the hostile aircraft.
The IR homing ensures the launch of the missile during the day/night and in electronic countermeasure (ECM) environment. The missile can engage targets in the near beyond visual range (NBVR) and within visual range (WVR) areas.

Similar to system that tracked the Tic-Tacs.
I understand the system, but how much of a heat signature can there be of a balloon at 60,000 feet that hass been cold soaked for weeks.
ONLY if it takes you an HOUR to cover the 80 miles.
If you cover it in 1/2 hour your airspeed is... 150?
See above
All that solar power, after being stored in batteries and then USED, will release a LOT of heat!
What F22 sensors? RDF, ECM, EPM, BACN, MADL?
Radar Direction Finding equipment
Electronic Counter Measure or Electronic Protective Measure (AN/ALR-94 Elec. Warfare System)
Battlefield Airborne Communications Node
Multifunction Advanced Data Link (Satellite Communications)
APG-77 radar low-observable, active-aperture, electronically scanned antenna with multiple target track while scan in all weather conditions
What other classified signals intelligence on the F22 we do not know about!
Which sensors were affected?????
Next time send up a 4th generation fighter F-16 or F-15 to shoot the baroon or UFO down, so the Chinese can’t obtain information on our frontline fighters electronics and capabilities.
“Similar reaction by Ukranians to Wehrmacht in WWII...!”
Except Biden and the US left are ACTUALLY NAZIs.
So no, it couldn’t be much worse.
“I have never seen, ‘airspeed,’ explained in that manner. As ass backward as can be. Are you a pilot that works backward?
Then you have never been in a cockpit.
I gave a very basic explanation, as that was the simplest way to explain it.
Here is someone else explaining it, since you disagree with me:
“It doesn’t make sense to me. I think there are plenty of F-22s at Elmendorf, that can do the job.”
There’s a lot of north between Elmendorf AFB and Washington state.
