First thing that came to mind when this whole thing started last week. Childhood memories.

Couple more were shot down?

Yep. And lots more showing up. Something on radar prompted the DoD to close Montana airspace but they never found the object. Seems like they’re at altitudes that pose risk for air traffic, unIike the first balloon. The curiosity is killing me.

 1 more...

The U.S. military shot down a second “high altitude object” in American airspace, this time off the coast of Alaska on Friday, the White House announced.

The mission occurred less than a week after a high altitude Chinese surveillance balloon was shot down off the coast of South Carolina.

American F-22 downed one in Canada as well yesterday. So far 3 have been downed. One off the coast of Carolina, one in Alaska and one over northern Yukon.

I stand corrected. Yes this now makes 3

3 recent ones.  There were at least 3 more in years past that are just now coming to light.  

 

You couldn't pay me enough money right now to fly around anywhere in a hot air balloon! ?

Around the world in 80 days gets cut back to 8 seconds till we hit the ground...

If I wanted something shot down, I would make it cheap, big, slow, and fly directly over the US where people could see it, while getting 24 hour news coverage.  Maybe a big white balloon would work?

Shot down another one over Lake Huron about an hour ago. WTH

Man I just came to this thread to say @12poundbass must have shot the one that landed in Huron. And you’ve done beat me to the punch.
