The "Unidentified Flying Object Shot Down" Thread

why are you so triggered by this? you realize that the military observes them for hours/days before taking them out, right?

Says the lunatic snowflake triggered by reasonable disagreement.

Why are we shooting at things if we don't know what they are? Why is that ok policy?

Agreed. China (or whatever country) should just be allowed to send over whatever newly designed aircraft they want. 👆

Brilliant. I don't see any issues with that whatsoever.

I'm not concerned with allowing
hostile nation surveillance equipment to go on existing in our airspace as if they're sentient life. glad they're being shot down 👆

Why do you think it's hostile nation surveillance equipment instead of aliens?

aliens with no propulsion, tracked for hours/days as they drift with the wind following roughly the same course. controlled takedowns over water. it's not aliens, but feel free to go REEEEE and look silly

Probably because of the fact that a hyper advanced interstellar race would be capable of better scouting methods then sending in atmospheric drones that are easily shot down by our relatively primitive tech.

What is the reee thing? You say that a lot.

i generally use it when someone melts down irrationally over something and cannot be reasoned with. i wasn't making up the part about zero propulsion or easy shoot-downs, it's been documented. so you're either 1-ignoring it because you're trolling, 2-denying the official reports because you're love scifi too much, or 3 haven't read up on it and assume that I'm the one trolling here. i could post sources/quotes if that's the case

I mean, what are you reading? I've been reading network news and I just see "unidentified objects" over and over. Where are you getting tracked for days? No propulsion, etc. Most specifically about the one over Huron?

In fact, the air force specifically said they are not ruling out aliens.

I feel like you're attributing the characteristics of the Chinese balloon to the other objects.

the second object was as i described, which also moved like the higher altitude balloon. if you want to believe that aliens traveled light years to float about on the same course a week after a chinese drone, have fun with that. you're totally right its aliens

Again:

"US Air Force General Glen VanHerck, who is responsible for the protection of US airspace, told reporters that the military had not been able to identify what the three most recent objects are, how they stay aloft, or where they are coming from.

"We're calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason,” said VanHerck, head of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and Northern Command.

VanHerck said he would not rule out aliens or any other explanation."

There is plenty in there to suggest the last object is different in nature than the others. In fact, the article I posted specifically says the final three objects did not move at the same altitude or in the same way as the first.

I'm not saying it's aliens, im saying assuming it's a Chinese balloon based on what information we have been given isn't the right answer either. Why, again, we are shooting first and asking questions later is a little frustrating.

To me, that doesn't seem like reason enough to shoot them down.

" or any other explanation."

it only says that they don't know. it was a floating octagon with strings hanging from it. there's no way china or russia have the tech to make a floating octagon with strings hanging from it

Odds are also good that a dept of the US military is shooting down something belonging to a different dept of the US military.

O.K. if you've missed it on the news a large object just slowed down and took up a position behind the moon.

ok some objects have come down at each pole.
