Baffled Pilots Who Shot Down Mystery Object Over Alaska Say It ‘Interfered with Sensors’

The pilots of US Air Force F-35 fighters sent to intercept the mystery object over Alaska on Friday say that whatever it was had been “interfering with the sensors of their aircraft” before they shot it down.

Three unidentified objects have been spotted over North America in the past 10 days. The first, a giant airship “the size of three buses” is understood to have originated in China although the US and Chinese governments disagree about its exact purpose.

While the Pentagon says it was a spy balloon, China says the monster airship was a civilian craft designed to monitor weather systems – but even if that turns out to be correct, the two smaller objects sighted over the US in recent days remain unexplained.

The USAF pilots who shot down the object over Alaska “were not able to identify what they saw,” reports CNN’s Natasha Bertrand.

As ex army.. I can tell you…. It already is.
Reminder… EUA has specific circumstances to enact, per the CFR.
So either it was an abuse of power… or we demand the truth about the circumstances that supposedly warranted EUAs.
This truth could open a lot of eyes.
So why don’t we demand it?

I’ll never forget seeing that movie for the first time. The mother ship goes past the Moon, and then “July 2”

“Great, just great”, I thought. “It figures”.

July 2 is my birthday….🙄

It did? Or something did? Would the storm from a Class X solar flare impact sensors at that latitude?

They shot something down but they don’t say a thing about where it landed. I don’t really think we can tell much by what the pilots say they saw, We should be looking at what they say they shot down.

I’m not saying “it was aliens”, but “it was aliens”.

They are providing exactly what they were told to provide and nothing more.

the storm from a Class X solar flare…. Reminds me of the line in the movie What About Bob where the kid is complaining about the problems of the world and Bob says “What about Tourette’s?” We might be assaulting visitors from another planet and a Class X solar flare is somehow important.

A solar flare in 2005 caused a disruption in GPS signals. GPS is about the strength of a 100 incandescent light bulb. It doesn’t take much to interfere with GPS signals.

“According to space and weather experts, a recent development regarding the appearance of two new sunspots on the Sun has sparked a wave of concern, with the expectation that a global blackout can be hitting the Earth anytime soon.” This is from an article 2 days ago predicting a blackout of the Internet due to a Class X solar flare. The internet is working just fine.

Sorry, I am not military, nor American, so I am not sure what you mean by ‘EUA’ and ‘CFR’. My understanding of ‘EUA’ is ‘Emergency Use Authorization’ for the CCP-Coronavirus shots. As far as ‘CFR’, I am aware of the ‘Council on Foreign Relations’, which seems to push for ‘one world government’.

Abuse of power? Obviously!
Here in occupied Alberta, it seems that everything Prime Mistake Castreau does, is an abuse of power! AFA demanding truth from Castreau? Oh, Schitt! The judiciary in Canaduh, is appointed by the gubmint and the Lieberal Party in Canaduh has been in power the majority of Canaduh’s existence, so it almost automatically sides with Castreau.

ECM...electronic counter measures. That’s what they are supposed to do.

That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a type of dirigible

True and all the workings could be inside the envelope.

I find it a little disturbing that we would readily give up whatever it is "interfered with onboard sensors". That is giving the other side free intelligence information.

I just thought of another reason for the Chicoms and balloons. They could be using the EFT banking systems and depositing $$$ to several Biden accounts across America. That is why the Obama / Biden Regime did not shoot it down immediately. They waited for all the deposits to clear first. The 10% for the Big Guy is probably 30% or higher now.

My understanding is that our systems can record interference signals — strength and frequency. So our engineers know what the pilots are talking about. It is not required that pilots understand all the things that engineers understand. So we will have to wait until the powers that be decide to let us know what the analysis of these signals implies.

My guess, electronic counter measures are in use in these vehicles and they can be pretty sophisticated.

Calm down. The ALL CLEAR today:

Speaking of WWII and wild stories, don’t forget the “Battle of LA”:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Los_Angeles

While the Wikipedia article is a “debunking” piece on UFOs the real live human witnesses (thousands of them) were convinced they were looking at an aerial invasion of some sort.

As long as she did not morph into a reptilian alien when she gave the “all clear” we are good to go!

Kirby said thy have no intention of making the video public. So what are they covering up?

I'm on the same page with that. This is a cheap and easy way to assess capabilities of our first line airplanes.

I still don't understand though, why we are telling them it is effective...unless it isn't.
