UFOs
 

Three days in a row. Strange as heck. Maybe tomorrow NORAD will shoot down a stray kite.

Our Prime Minister, Trudeau, "ordered" your President to shoot one down.
He is on vid/record of saying exactly that.
Were you aware your govt is at Trudeau's beck and call? :D

Are there any clear, undisputable pics of these alleged UFO's? I have not seen any but I haven't been looking either.

Only the balloon I think? It's all very unclear right now.

Maybe it is all part of a publicity stunt for U2's upcoming residency at The Sphere in Vegas.

Actually it is even funny they say they are detecting them more now because they have adjusted their defensive technology to better detect these and that they knew of them in the past but rarely ever detected/tracked them.
So if they knew of them then why did they not adjust years earlier.

Perhaps they all are all full of hot air:):):)

I seen the balloon one, just not these other ones they claim to have shot down?

I would assume these "objects" are just more balloons or something similar, but that is only a guess?
Seems very strange for sure and until we see/hear more, I am skeptical and wondering if it is not all just theatre?

Wonder if we waited to shoot it down until we could get ours out of China airspace :)

This sound strangely familiar, where have I heard weather balloons before??

:cool:

Look, up in the sky…

Sounds legit. :rolleyes:

JUST IN - Pentagon says "no debris" has been recovered from the 3 downed objects in Alaska, Canada, and Lake Huron — Austin

Scratch from list

That is hilarious.

I saw a Starlink Satellite train fly over my house last night. Didn't know what the hell it was at first, and thought I was getting the first confirmed sighting of Santa Claus running his reindeer herd in a mid-February test run.

Then my wife Googled it and 3 minutes later told me it was a string of satellites working up their elevation until they got high enough to spin off from each other into higher orbit.

You can imagine my disappointment when I found that out.

Then I heard a noise coming from our woods, and asked her if she thought that might be Bigfoot.

She just rolled her eyes at me. :(

That would be very cool to see. I will have to look it up but it is supposed to be cloudy here for a few days.:(

The coolest thing I have seen looking into the night sky was the 2001 Leonid meteor shower. It was raining meteors.

Yeah, it was pretty cool. I was outside with the dogs and looked up, and my first thought was "Why is the exhaust from that jet Fluorescing at night?", then I noticed the exhaust trail was a bunch of single lights moving in unison...and the next thing that crossed my mind was a jet plane pulling along a huge light up banner in the sky...like the small planes you see pulling advertising banners in touristy beach locations.

Once I found out they were satellites it made more sense...but was somehow less fun once you knew what they actually were. The fun was in actually not knowing what they were...which is a weird psychology I think we have as humans.

I remember the Leonid showers. Me and my wife woke up our then 6 year-old daughter around midnight to drive up to a lookout point at a state park that was open for just this occasion.

We get there around 1am thinking we'll have the place to ourselves, and the road up to the lookout was just packed with cars. At first we were disappointed, but then we ended up having a sort of surreal, communal experience with hundreds of other people at the top of a mountain around 1 to 2am in the morning. Reminded me of one of the earlier scenes in "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind", with all those people drawn to the same lookout area at once.

We watched with all those other people as it looked like flaming boulders were falling out of the sky.

Been lots of meteor showers since, but I've never seen or experienced anything close to that...before OR after.

On the flip-side, I do still get excited when I look up and see something I haven't seen before. Even if it's just a satellite, a space station...or a string of 50+ satellites all in a row.

The space station was the most fun. Found the schedule and took my daughter out to see it.
Pointed out planes, stars, planets (Not bad for an urban area!)

Then the space station. Hey, that one there. That's a spaceship, a big one the astronauts spend a long time on doing science stuff.
Wow, a space ship!
Know what else makes it special?
No, what?
Daddy made a few parts for it.
What?! really? You built a spaceship?
No, just a few small pieces of one. It was fun.

It's not aliens

I wish it were aliens

But it's not aliens

It's just the olé' engineered panic, an attractive nuisance ensuring natsec reporters get assigned to investigate balloon bullshit rather than budgets or bombings (à la Nord Stream)

Until next time...

If it had been aliens and we shot them down, we'd be in serious trouble.

More light pollution in the night sky. Yay

Now saying the 3 other balloons were probably not from China and we might actually have shot down weather or research balloons that were by US based groups and universities

The government will say anything except the truth. UFO’s are real. They are not hostile like Hollywood will tell us. If they were we’d have been eliminated long ago.
Whatever they’re shooting down is definitively not hobby balloons. You tell me a trained Air Force pilot is using a million dollar weapon to shot down Richie Cunninghams balloon and he can’t tell it’s a toy? Please!

China corporate earnings coming up next week. There was little to no affect to chinese equities due to the balloons, nor did the US military gearing up a week or so prior. Great distraction techniques, but it isnt working anymore

Piedmont Mo.Didnt appear to be a Balloon, but ??
 

Didn't appear to be a Balloon, but had to be, no other explanation? (1978)

Is Piedmont near Blaine, MO?

:)

Piedmont, eh? Could it have been a flying t206?

T206
 

Thanks, had to be a T206, not a Balloon--now I can finally sleep--thanks

I think we need a picture to go with the title of this thread. This photo was taken June 10, 1964.

Truer word have never been spoken. I do find great amusement in those that believe it to be the opposite.
