Not (so far as anyone knows) an alien object, but unidentified and flying, so a UFO. They are now picking up the bits to try and establish what it was.

Maybe it was the USS Enterprise from the future lol.

There's another balloon on the loose over Canada now. Wonder if Canada will shoot it down?

The one over Canada has now been downed too. A USAF f22 downed it in Canadian airspace. Recovery will be undertaken by Canadians.

Conspiracy theory starter: what if "they" want us to take them down because they're filled with spores/viruses/radioactive stuff?

:pac:

If the balloons could? They would...

Dodge I mean 😝

It’s very odd. They are saying they are silvery grey cylinders with no markings or propulsion system.

WTF like?

Idiots believe anything should be the heading on this thread...

Wouldn't put too much credence to that. Apparently, both the shoot downs over Alaska and Canada took place in near enough darkness, so they could have been kept up my balloons that weren't even visible. It's not like an F-22 can just hover in the air and take a good look, especially at that altitude. You check your displays & radar, do one, maybe two fly-bys, and once you get the green light from command, get your missile locked on target and fire.

It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, happens over Montana today. Last night, F-15s from Portland and a KC-135 tanker from Fairchild AFB in Washington were scrambled to a location south of Havre, Montana, where a sizeable chunk of airspace was closed temporarily. It has since reopened, with the DoD being quoted as stating that they'll track the object there through the night and will "ground" it (their words) once it's daylight.

I feel sorry for dem alienz, mastering interstellar travel and end up getting shot down by cavemen.

A resurrected radioactive dodo would be my guess.

So in 3 years of this decade we’ve had a global pandemic, largest war in Europe since World War 2 and now potentially first contact with extraterrestrials..

Nah, better be a balloon, I’m just not able for it at this stage.

odyssey06

Thats how dem aliens are coming here, in balloons. It was the same back in 47 in Roswell.

Mister Vain

Maybe the U.S government will put a virus in the balloon wreckage so they can blame China for it.

Octagon shaped?

No.

They're the only ones saying that they are octagonal. Its called Chinese whispers.

Ironically, they are just Chinese drone balloons with cameras on them.

The Chinese balloons are all spherical in shape (just as you would expect them to be).

What is with the octagon shaped object, or is that just a false report?

Akrasia

It's just another Dana White publicity stunt

looksee

What colour was it? Pink, or blue?
