Unidentified Floating Objects

I too see this scenario as clear as daylight. ^^^

After Putz po’d Trump and was thereafter seen as birdschmidt on a window, the addled Biden MIGHT (I have reservations) have seen fit to give Putz a much needed backbone boost…let him say ‘I done it, I’d do it again, and I’m glad I done it’…but am pretty sure Putz is quivering in anxiety about Chinese support in next election.

News sources one has to purchase membership before reading the link, is in my opinion useless.

If both U.S. and Canada jets were scrambled and the object was over the Yukon in Canada, WHY did the Yanks take the shot? (or did the Canadians send up an unarmed Tutor jet or an unarmed CF-18)? Something doesn't add up here. I doubt the Americans would allow a Canadian plane to shoot down anything over their country.

Elmendorf and Eielson are way closer than Cold Lake, I think the US would be there far quicker

"Eyre said Saturday that "the instructions that were given to the the team was whoever had the first best shot to take out the balloon had to go ahead."

Also I thought they said the planes were scrambled from a joint airbase.

If they were scrambled from the same base, then guess the F-22 is faster than our CF-18's. Hope they got the exact lat/long of where it went down and can find it on the ground.

F22 is Mach 2 with supercruise capabilities. F18 is Mach 1.8

So yes it is faster.

You all must have missed the news where the US watched it all day Friday over Alaska. Not sure why they would need to scramble the fastest fighter jet once it reached Canada.

Likely Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Air Force and Army
