I'm curious as to how this hexagon-shaped figure with strings attached was flying through the skies.

plus a fourth in Canada, yeah?

plus a fourth in Canada, eh?

FIFY

I think the total is 4 if you count the balloon they shot down over Myrtle, but, that one was identified before it was shot.

DAMMIT was coming to do the same

That bitch is lying.

I wonder if what we shot down in Alaska and Canada is similar to the "Mosul Sphere" that was supposedly caught on camera by a US reconnaissance plane in 2016.

 

[dartsndeacs]

some decent info here

Her mouth says no aliens.

Her hands definitely say aliens.

Ruling out aliens? Senior U.S. general says not ruling out anything yet

The U.S. Air Force general overseeing North American airspace said on Sunday after a series of shoot-downs of unidentified objects that he would not rule out aliens or any other explanation yet, deferring to U.S. intelligence experts.

think they'll ever tell us what these things are

I thought it was too dangerous to shoot things down until they crossed the continent and got over the ocean? The debris could hit someone on the ground.

Which one do you protest against?

The one shot down over water in Lake Huron?
The one off the coast of Alaska?
The one over the Yukon Territory, which has 0.2 people per square mile, and ordered by the Prime Minister of Canada, not the USA?

This isn't the "gotcha" you think it is.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

it is dangerous.

next whine?

 

[Deacsfan27]

For more context, North Dakota is 48x more populous per square mile than the Yukon Territory.

Clearly that's a much lower risk for debris, which, as ITC posted, is still pretty dangerous given the velocity anything is falling at from that height.

Nope.
