US has shot down 2 more objects since the balloon. What do you think they are?

Weren't there press conferences by Biden and DoD? What did they say?

They said nothing. They said they don’t know what they shot down. How is that possible?

How can you shoot down a commercial balloon or blimp and not know it?

China or aliens. Or we just embarrassed ourselves.

Why should we be embarrassed? The real world isn't magic and instantaneous. The government is being honest - until they can examine one of these objects, they can't definitely say what it is. I'm sure they have theories, but no point in throwing those out right now.

No reason to be concerned. We now know how to find them on radar and how to neutralize them.

It's good we are getting rid of unknown objects in airspace. It's appalling this has apparently gone on for a while, and is only be dealt with now.

I'm just thankful we weren't EMP'd. We have power, my car works. We are good.

The U2 commercial tied in quite nicely.

I’m not freaked out by anything and normally have a logical, pragmatic view of things but am pretty much convinced these latest objects are alien and not from China . Just a coincidence that they came on the heels of the balloon. I think they’ve been surveilling all along and for whatever reason they got a little sloppy with the altitude

Has Marc Singer commented yet? I think his perspective is needed.

Recall, Trump talked a lot about UFO's. Maybe if he had directed his team to deal with it 5 years ago, we would have had a better handle on it now.

Fortunately, everybody knows now. That likely includes some smart people in high places.

I want to hear from Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office or AARO, established last summer.

Sure. Yeah. These things floating around are the alien beam weapons to influence your brain. You know what the best defense is? Three layers of aluminum foil wrapped around the top and sides of your head. Seriously. And I think you should warn everyone around you to do the same. And tell the police as well. If the police are taken over by these things that would be bad. Good luck!

Glad someone else noticed this!

The program is looking for radar returns that are consistent with that of an aircraft or of a rocket or missile. It filters everything else out that doesn’t fit that profile. So a slow moving balloon and it’s payload, being nearly “motionless” compared to an aircraft or missile, is just seen as “noise” by the software, and is filtered out.

Apparently the NORAD IT folks have rewritten some code over the last week after the first balloon incident, and now suddenly are spotting these things now.

But this has clearly been going on for probably years, maybe even decades. And the radar software was filtering it out because it didn’t fit a target profile that had been programmed. And China clearly knew about this, and exploited it to great effect.

Wow, that's a pretty big oversight isn't it? It's rather naive of the military to assume that only aircraft and missiles are concerns so filter out everything slow moving. If other nations know that your software does this (and evidently they were aware) then all they need to do is create craft that doesn't behave in the way your software is expecting enemy incursions to appear. Which seems to be what they've done. You're looking for airplanes? We'll make a balloon.

No, they knew. A sharp reporter asked since Biden was aware of these balloons since last year, why didn't they adjust the gateways sooner? They didn't want to find them for whatever reason.

Maybe they thought they were gathering data on the balloons by allowing them to continue on for some period of time?

Given the long path that they travel, is it safe to assume there's probably dozens on the way in the middle of the ocean right now that we will shoot down over the next couple of months? I'm sure they will stop sending them and work on something new that we don't detect but won't there be a lot of them on the way still?

I sleep well at night knowing Biden has a steady hand and knows exactly what to do.

Yes. This.

He’ll do exactly what Xi tells him to. I have absolute faith in Joe to do that.

Please shut up. There is zero basis for this and the lies are obnoxious and irresponsible. STOP IT.
