Hardly “just released” at this time. I listened to it before dinner Monday.

This is why you file a flight plan.

“ No debris has been recovered.”

OF COURSE NOT! Wouldn’t want to subject Biden’s government to ridicule and laughter.

Are they releasing any video or photos of whatever it is they are shooting down?

Funny if they are launching missiles but not showing what they are supposedly shooting at.

You can see some strings or something hanging down below it. Birthday 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.

"'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.'"

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”?

“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.”

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.

[SgtHooper]

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.
