Didn't they initially claim that the Alaskan object "shattered" when it hit the ice? And now ooooooohhhhhhhh it's just so hard for a poor widdle [infinitely funded government] to find in a big bad frozen forest 🥺👉👈


There's like clearly a struggle for control of the narrative here's that's loving hilarious lmao.

if it really is sky trash and we shot a loving sidewinder at it over domestic air space that’s almost as good as it being Radar trying to pirate stream the Super Bowl.

To be honest it felt like they were saying the objects were maneuverable unlike basic balloons, but some kind of small zeppelin/floating drone wasn't ruled out IMHO

Hannity sounds loving plastered here but I haven't actually heard Ryan Graves talk about these details before - that the objects were both able to remain stationary at altitude against strong winds that were blowing the F/A-18s around, and occasionally travel up to supersonic speeds?

I suppose it depends on how they define "alien". Which again is why some of the very precise phrasing here is bizarre. There's a ton of things that could maybe fall outside "alien" but be weird as hell, even human-made things.

Although it could be us just acing a bunch of faster than light spacecraft and their crews.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Nah to me the fact that three were shot down rules this out. The President would get a visit after the first one if this was the case. Even if the first one was a balloon if they had any of their assets in the air that could potentially get a shot taken at it they'd make sure that didn't happen.

In case of a miss, the pilot can push a button to have the missile safely home in on the nearest wedding or market, thereby ensuring it does not come back and target the plane that shot it. Must have been too far out of range though, out over the water, so it probably flew in circles for a bit before running out of fuel.
