February 12, 20233 yr 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.
February 12, 20233 yr Author 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.

February 12, 20233 yr 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.
February 12, 20233 yr Quote The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the object downed over Canada on Saturday was a small metallic balloon with a tethered payload, according to an official briefed on the matter. Sounds like another balloon. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/f-22-downs-another-unidentified-object-over-canada
February 12, 20233 yr Author 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.

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

February 12, 20233 yr 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. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024

February 12, 20233 yr Administrators I think one of these was my Mickey Mouse helium balloon my dad bought for me in 1956 the first visit to Disneyland, Anaheim.

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. 787 captain.
