ANOTHER potential shoot down!

Just came across possible shoot down footage in Montana.

This has been happening for awhile. People are finally waking up to it.

Shooting them down?

It's being reported that this was all a response to a bad radar read, and the fighters that were dispatched found nothing.


Why would the congressmen say "object"...... This hurts ones brain.

Balloons crossing US airspace. Not as much over CONUS, but US territories, and a few over CONUS.

Entirely possible. Balloon material is largely transparent to radar. With all the balloon stuff going on, it's possible that they caught a ghost and launched to be certain.

Deliberate confusion means something is happening 😲

And this unknown fireball came down in Abbotsford, B.C this afternoon also.

So you believe this is completely normal, it just wasn't broadcast before, because we would be having breaking news every week like we are now.

so are they hostile or just surveillance?

are they just annoyances?

I mean the Myrtle Beach obviously had some technical capabilities but these cylindrical ones, they seem so small what capabilities could they have

Smoke and mirrors.

Watch what the other hand is doing.

This show is a massive distraction.

What’s worrisome, is what they are trying to distract us from? Or trying to entice us in to? 🤔

Can’t wait to see the fake wreckage.

I wouldn't say normal, but more common than people realize. Other nations have been taking advantage of our prevalence to watch for high tech threats, and sending low tech stuff against us. They've succeeded far more than they've failed. The one that made it to Myrtle Beach was a lucky break in that it was spotted near Alaska visually.

Previous ones appear to be surveillance, and ELINT/SIGINT packages. The latest, if I had to guess, are airships, not balloons, and may have packages carried in gondolas underneath the envelope, or internally somehow. They may be tests of new designs and electronic packages.

NORAD is saying Montana UAP false alarm FWIW

Distraction.

Tracking balloons and airships is not an easy task. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a ghost.

Is there a small possibility we are doing this to test ourselves...

F-22 fighter jets have now taken out three objects in the airspace above the U.S. and Canada over seven days, a stunning development that is raising questions on just what, exactly, is hovering overhead and who has sent them.

At least one of the objects downed was believed to be a spy balloon from China, but the other two had not yet been publicly identified. While Trudeau described the object Saturday as “unidentified,” a NORAD spokesman, Maj. Olivier Gallant, said the military had determined what it was but would not reveal details.

Trudeau said Canadian forces would recover the wreckage for study. The Yukon is westernmost Canadian territory and the among the least populated part of Canada.

Just about a day earlier, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said an object roughly the size of a small car was shot out of the skies above remote Alaska. Officials couldn’t say if it contained any surveillance equipment, where it came from or what purpose it had.

Kirby said it was shot down because it was flying at about 40,000 feet (13,000 meters) and posed a “reasonable threat” to the safety of civilian flights, not because of any knowledge that it was engaged in surveillance.

This looks like what we saw in Montana early last week....

We have 6 threads on this, 3 active in the last hour. Any thoughts on combining them?

The one over Canada was identified as a metallic balloon with a suspended payload.

NORAD opened the filters on the radar systems, which is why they're detecting more. They pick up a lot of data so they rely on filters to help the operators detect various objects. The reason that they're detecting more is that they've opened up the filters so they're seeing more raw data. That also is going to lead to some false targets.
