Fox News Channel was speculating they may have been Chinese or RUSSIAN drones.

The Canadian Defense Minister is talking live right now. This object is truly unknown. It was at 40,000 feet, no speed given.

“One report gave the speed as 40 knots. Pretty slow. Probably a balloon of some sort”.

We can hope it wasn’t some poor sap taking his Piper Cub up for a joy ride. Lol

The Canadian Defense Minister looks like a typical Kindergarten teacher.

At a minimum, I would think an interstellar one, at least. Unless they are some really outre lifeforms from one of the other planets in this system or the Oort cloud.

Not sure who is doing Coast to Coast tonight since Nory takes off weekends but I bet whoever it is will have wall-to-wall coverage.

and when do they shoot down the second, larger, presumably more dangerous, Chinese spy balloon which was over Latin America and which the Chinese admitted was theirs?

that story was dropped 5 days ago, it seems!

6 Feb: Yahoo: BBC: Second balloon over Latin America is ours - China
Ms Mao told reporters the second balloon had “deviated greatly” from its intended route, citing the aircraft’s “limited manoeuvrability” and the weather conditions.

“The unmanned airship in question that came from China is of a civilian nature and used for flight tests,” she added...

At the weekend, Colombia’s air force said an object with “characteristics similar to those of a balloon” had been detected on 3 February in the country’s airspace at above 55,000ft.

Colombia said it had followed the object until it left the airspace, adding that it did not represent a threat to national security.

The thing is, if it was a balloon, they would have known immediately after they blew it up with a missile.

I suppose its air speed was consistent with the wind speed. In other words, it travelled at the same speed as the wind.

However, in an airplane airspeed is the speed at which the airplane travels through the environment. So, if you cover 80 ground miles while flying into a 20 MPH wind, and your airspeed is 100 MPH.
