What are the shooting at now, anything that flies?
Let’s get a tally of the expense of shooting these last 4 (or is it 5 now????) “objects” so far. Sidewinder missiles $400K a piece. No less expensive way to take these down? Don’t we have drones that can intercept this without launching a missile at it? Was watching Battle Bots earlier, and those guys could build something less than $400k to take care of this.
I read that normally they have filters in place for monitoring systems to block out white noise but they removed those filters after the Chinese spy balloon. My guess is that this is why they are suddenly picking up all these things. So, to answer your question, yes!

Dunno.. but we’ve been assured that they are “keeping an extremely close eye on it with a laser focus”...
Feel safe now?
They're shooting at "objects." Or, if "objects" is racist, they're shooting at "things."
I pity the poor whooping and sand hill cranes as they try to migrate back north in the next couple of months.
