So they fired a missile, it missed, they don't know where it went, and they don't know if it exploded

Normal things that happen when you're firing at a weather balloon

sidewinders supposed to fire out bunch of sweet swords like a heavily angel near the trash not explode the trash. there was a description upthread of traditional missiles passing through wind rubbish without making holes big enough to let the gas out.

the way the first piece of chinese firmament litter exploded it for sure got sliced by the air forces biblical blades

Can anyone make out what they're saying at the linked time stamp? It sounds like "I know there was a real weird one where we were both [something] on different days," but I couldn't make out the question that that was a reply to. I wonder if they were discussing other incidents they've been involved in?

Ah, that's what I thought I heard the first listen through, so maybe I just tricked myself. Maybe they were just talking about where they parked, lol

I don't think the pilot chat was leaked. The Drive is constantly posting the radio talk of pilots doing stuff in America. They've released lots of UFO pilot chat in the past. I'm pretty sure if you have the right equipment you can just listen to that unless the military actively chooses to broadcast it on an encrypted channel which you would think would be standard but apparently isn't.

given how ramshackle every other facet of this experience has been we should not be surprised that, much like they forgot to flip the "show UFOs" switch on their radar, that they forgot to flip the "encrypt the comms about the UFOs" switch on their radios

Sadly it means the sidewinder shrapnel put a few holes in the balloon and it sank down after that
