UFO shot down.

The size and shape of a small car and unidentified.

What on Earth was it?

No political comments re spy balloons people. Or mods will go crazy freaky.

Yeah, I don't buy for a second that they don't know what it was. They would have done slow flyby to identify. 40,000 is well below the max 65,000 of a Raptor. A relatively slow pass and plenty of imagery would have been obtained.

Like a Tesla roadster, for example?

Also, the third object shot down over central Yukon has been described as cylindrical, so the word tictac comes to mind.

Had it been of Alien origin there is no way it would have been shot down as those things can defy the laws of physics. It has to be a spy craft used by China or someone similar.

Acording to CNN the reports are conflicting. F35 pilots who went up and took a look earlier in the week said they had bo idea what it was and could see no means of propulsion. They said they didn't know how it was staying in the air.

Precisely. If you have the tech to travel at relativistic velocites, avoiding a puny Earthling missile would be child's play.

Unless we are talking about a slower traveling, unarmed, expendable Von Neuman probe. 😀

Good luck finding out the truth. It was shot down near the town of Deadhorse. Get your sticks ready for the inevitable beating :wink:

How did you know they were insectoids? Are you an insectoid collaborator spy? Or one of them in disguise, a shapeshifter. 😲

 The pilots aren't going to be talking to CNN or any news agency that's one thing for sure. We'll know more when they want us to know more.

I think one of these was my Mickey Mouse helium balloon my dad bought for me in 1956 the first visit to Disneyland, Anaheim.  Wasn't tied tight enough to my finger! 🎈

Well, they won’t last long here, they’ll get eaten by all the reptilians we have lurking about.

My money would be on an elaborate false flag event, unless something more rational is released.

There’s been some intense ufo activity over the Atlantic recently , nightly high altitude  activity and it’s been going on for several weeks, it’s quite blatant in fact, word must be getting out now surely.
