Seems to have been some sort of drone which was shot down over Alaska and what happened to the other balloon which was spotted over central america.

All this I think is a distraction tactic, there is a lot of stuff going on in the world and I think the press is trying to divert our attention

This train derail in Ohio which spilled all these chemicals is a big deal and the press isn't even talking about it because it makes govt look bad. Nevermind all the USA/Nato actions for the Ukraine war....
The governments must think we are really dumb, like aliens that have the technology to come here I doubt they would deploy balloons into our atmosphere

Unfortunately, they're mostly right - far too many sheeple out there!

Why they waste missiles on these is beyond me a few chaingun rounds on these aircraft could easily take it down and cost a fraction of these missiles

I read somewhere that those missiles have a shelf-life, after which they need to be taken out of service and refurbished. So rather than do that, they're happy to toggle a few off when opportunity presents itself (and a real live-fire opportunity is rare).

Yeah @cody that makes sense I forgot that a lot of these munitions sit in cold storage and you are right, most bases have a site which is guarded 24/7 and it basically is full of stuff like this.... i remember doing this type of duty 1x a month.

Have they said anymore about what they found as it seems to have gone quiet about it.
