Air force scrambled to deal with harmless object after Chinese spy craft were destroyed a fortnight ago

US officials said yesterday that efforts by the military to recover the remnants of a large object that was shot down off the South Carolina coast had ended and that analysis of the debris had reinforced suggestions that it was a Chinese spy balloon. They also said the search for a small airborne object shot down over Lake Huron had ended without recovering anything. The US and Canada have also failed to recover any debris from two objects shot down over the Yukon and northern Alaska.

“I’m an American and I don’t want anything bad to happen to our country. If they don’t know, I’d rather that they err in shooting down $100 worth of balloon stuff than have something bad go over Canada or the US,” the hobbyist said, adding that they were “not angry at all”.

Senator Ted Cruz joked that President Biden provided a “powerful deterrence for any high school science clubs that might try to invade America”.

Biden shot down our balloon flying over the Yukon, say hobbyistsAir force scrambled to deal with harmless object after Chinese spy craft were destroyed a fortnight ago Good! They should have to pay for all the associated costs of shooting it down Sending plastic shit up into the atmosphere is a hazard to aviation. My kids got a balloon for their birthday and 4 fighter pilots walked down the street with pins to pop them stating they were ordered by our prime minister for national security.. apparently they were assault balloons…

RCMP discontinues search for foreign object downed over YukonThe U.S. military said late Friday it had also ended its search for airborne objects shot down near Deadhorse, Alaska Wow. What a joke. Why don’t we get to see videos or pictures of this? I’m going to guess the government is too embarrassed to show they spent a million dollars or more to shoot a balloon out of the sky. It’s embarrassing isn’t it?
