I like this idea, it's more plausible than a rogue operation. I wonder how they developed that protocol though.

There is no need to admit you don't know what the thing is while still having shot it down

it's in the middle of nowhere, no one would have ever even known

this is all a show, but who is it for

I assume it was some kind of balloon or blimp or something. Otherwise, RIP to Radar.

my guess is they shot down some classified chinese spy craft as retaliation for being embarrassed by a balloon. the us public knows it has no control over the military so they can say ufo all day with no consequences and leave it up to china to make the next move

All cylindrical UFO sightings, some of the most mysterious and consistent, have now been retroactively checkmated into being spy balloons lol

Isn't this what Uri Geller posted his video of yesterday? A cylinder UAP? Did he know what was going down at dawn :tinfoil:

I feel like it's probably just a balloon or a drone or something...then again, last night I had a dream about planes intercepting a UFO, so who knows?

Like my attempt to use the Gateway's remote viewing tape, the dream wasn't a 1 to 1 match for what actually happened, but it's close enough to make me wonder, just a little.

like, just backing up a bit, the united states government has just admitted that they shot down something cylindrical, the size of a small car, with no visible signs of propulsion, that was not a balloon

name literally anything that matches those criteria that wouldn't be a shocking technological advancement even if it was ours
