LISTEN HERE: Pilots Say Lake Huron ‘Octagonal’ Object is ‘Not Balloon’ in Just-Released Cockpit Audio
gateway pundit ^ | 2/14/2023 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 02/14/2023 9:28:46 PM PST by bitt

Cockpit audio of pilots trying to figure out what the unidentified object over Lake Huron has been released.

The audio was authenticated by the US Airforce.

The US military decommissioned another “object” over Lake Huron on Sunday.

The Pentagon said the ‘octagon-shaped’ object shot down on Sunday likely fell into Canadian waters on Lake Huron.

No debris has been recovered.

“I wouldn’t really call it a balloon… I don’t know what… I can see it outside with my eyes,” one pilot said. “It’s so slow and so small you can’t see it.”

“It’s just some kind of dark object. You can see some strings or something hanging down below it. I can’t tell if it’s holding anything,” the pilot said.

Remember the hysteria over the obvious Batman figure balloon?

This is such nonsense... A five year old child would know to put small holes into it and bring it down gently. But no , we go and blow them to smitharines. Something does not add up

Just swamp gas reflecting off the water below. Nothing to be concerned with, move along.

Imagine the poor promoter who, having lost the expensive company logo float in sudden strong wind gust, has to find out later it was shot down by an F-16.

If the extraterrestrials are insect-like, one would think their ship would be hexagonal, like a honeycomb… like cell clusters… like the natural craquelure pattern on a desert floor.

An octagonal.ship is quite unnatural - something a machine-based race would adopt.

We really don’t know what we’re dealing with here.

“The US military decommissioned another “object” over Lake Huron on Sunday”.

So decommissioned is now another word for “shot down”?

Well either you can see it or you can't. Make up your mind.

Also, anyone who has seen a Macy's parade knows that not all balloons are round.

Have these so-called pilots ever been told that balloons need not be roundish, like weather balloons or birthday balloons? A 3d box-shaped balloon where the only supports are plastic, helium or hydrogen filled cross-members and open sides, could easily be constructed and launched into the high altitude wind stream.

Somewhere in a box I have photographs of different shaped hot air balloons from a balloon race I was in some 25+ years ago. IIRC, one was of a truck (FedEx? USPS?) a birthday cake w/candle, prolly some others as well.

That's why I stocked up for my family when the prices were good better.

The entire administration is quite a diversion from reality I’d say.

I regularly check outside to see of the earth and sky are still in their proper places!

Thank you!

As of Friday, btw, we have nowhere left to go.
SF jerked us around so long we don’t have enough coverage left for the house trailer they said we could not have but COULD.
Crap motels ate up too much of our coverage.
I’m just lost now.

Very sorry to hear what’s going on with you. Had to look back through your posts to find the whole story. Awful!

Now I’m nervous because SF is my insurer.

Run.
Now.

They are bloodless, heartless and soulless.

Rated 4th worst in industry.
Liberty Mutual is #1 and Allstate is #3.
Seriously.

They will jerk you around and break you until you submit to their lowball offer.

Seven weeks now and they’ve not even cleaned out the wet debris.
Soaked insulation and drywall were frozen to my kitchen floor and countertops until we had a brief warm spell.

The temperature inside is 20 degrees colder than outside because of the still-wet everything.
It feels like walking into a moldering tomb.

Pure greedy evil.

I can’t even manage Hrafi’s oncology appointments because I never know when one of their vultures will need me at the house to terrify and depress me and do nothing of any use.

He was doing very well but I know this horror show is going to affect his longevity.

So, SF is contributing to the death of my dog which is unforgivable.

I’ve been told to “ get a lawyer “ but I can’t afford one and I’ve no idea what one could accomplish anyway.

I wonder if there is some governing body that desks with insurance treachery.

Too much stress. You don’t need it. I think you’re just falling thru the cracks. You need to bring this to the forefront of their attention.

Write down a concise outline of how SF has treated you vs. the general provisions of the policy.

Once you have a rational, reasonable argument to present call your State Representative’s office and your state’s Secretary of State office. The latter should have a website for a complaint. You want your state Rep. to pick it up so put time into contacting their office. If they pick it up you should have nothing to worry about. Get the state government on your side and you’ll have it made.
