Appearing at the White House podium, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communication John Kirby announced, “The Department of Defense was tracking a high-altitude object over Alaska airspace in the last 24 hours.” “We’re calling this an object because that’s the best description we have right now. We don’t know who owns it – whether it’s state-owned or corporate owned or privately owned, we just don’t know,” Kirby said.
The object first came to the attention of the US government “last evening.” Kirby told reporters that the US assessed the “object” to be unmanned before it was eventually shot down. Biden was first briefed Thursday night “as soon as the Pentagon had enough information.” The high-altitude object, Kirby said during a White House press briefing, was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight.
There were two efforts to get closer to the object and evaluate it as it flew. The first engagement by fighter aircraft took place late Thursday night and the second Friday morning. Both engagements yielded “limited” information, Kirby told reporters. “We were able to get some fighter aircrafts up and around it before the order to shoot it down, and the pilots assessment was this was not manned,” Kirby added.

The fertile mind of Franz Kafka couldn’t have dreamed up the pathetic corpse of America today. After killing American industry and jobs, while building up the power of a dangerous enemy, China, American Crony Capitalists and their embarrassing, pathetic Political shellmen have “discovered” Chinese balloons flying over U.S. airspace. And they claim this is a new and unpredictable development.
Amazing. Maybe they will discover all the Chinese Satellites flying over U.S. Satellites built from American technology. Perhaps they might find the Chinese Spy Network infiltrated into Universities, Government Agencies and all the Technology Labs and Corporations. A network of at least a 100,ooo, likely more than a million eyeballs.
Yes, CCP infiltration throughout academia.
These people are so incompetent they are going to wind up shooting down an American passenger plane.
“Some people did something…c’mon, man, what’s your problem!?”
I suppose another weather balloon is a good distraction from intentional witholding Earthquake emergency aid from Syria under premise of sanctions and illegally occupying one third of Syria (the part where the oil is coincidentally) so their oil can be stolen.
It’s not a very good one though.
Yeah? Sorry, but I don’t believe you. Going forward, our policy shall be the suspension of belief of anything you have to say regarding such matters, without sufficient receipts to verify your empty claims.
Some Alaskan oilfield worker and drone hobbyist got his quadcopter blown up.
USA, USA, USA!!!
Whatever they say and do at this point they are still weak.
The world watches as we send fighters to take down hostile balloons from foreign adversaries?
That’s soooo weak.
I don’t know if it is true, but I read this balloon was actually an errant weather balloon. What an idiot our fake President is.
Maybe if the entirety of the US government didn’t just lay there and let a foreign spy balloon float over the whole country, they wouldn’t look so disgustingly weak right now.
So our Air Force shot down something they couldn’t identify, an “object” ? Gimme a break!
Ok, prove it. 🙄
| Sullivan: ‘Several other unidentified objects’ also traveled over Alaska |
“After a U.S. Air Force fighter jet shot down an unidentified object over Alaska’s North Slope on Friday, Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, said several other similar objects have traveled over the state in recent weeks.
“There were things that were seen on radar but weren’t explained,” he said, “so I don’t know what they were, but I think our military is trying to figure that out as well.””

Leave them geese alone!
“Ok, Joe, go head and shoot down barroon now! You save face!”

Is Mr. Kirby related to Pee Wee Herman? The resemblance is uncanny.
If you are referring to the picture of the guy in uniform holding the Reynolds Wrap, that’s not Kirby. That’s a picture they put out right after the Roswell incident.
Some guy named StratoCat has found the Chinese Balloon Launch Facility. Geeks are amazing.
“After 12 hours of painstakingly searching, mile after mile, all
Inner Mongolia using Apple maps I’ve finally found the location of the
allegedly Chinese balloon launch facility mentioned recently in a WSJ
article. It is located in the Siziwang Banner, 138 km N of Hohhot.”
Location: “41°46’52.21″N – 111°54’0.43″E
Also you can look for the Gegentala Grassland Tourist Area. The facility is 3 miles east of it.”
Some Arctic researchers are gonna be pissed when they learned diaper Joe took out their ballon. Scratch one episode of National Geographic.
Shoot it down and spirits poisonous contents. Good grief!
“Spew its” not “spirits”. I hate Siri.
When do the sanctions start??
Notice that Kirby talks a lot and says nothing. “Unidentified” is like “anonymous sources”.
