Apparently, there is an influx of “unidentified objects”, somewhat similar to surveillance balloons, coming from the Pacific into U.S. and Canadian airspace.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced earlier today a third “unidentified object” was shot down over Canadian airspace in the Yukon territory. The third high altitude object was tracked by the North American Aerospace Command (NORAD) and intercepted by U.S. military F-22 fighters in coordination with the Canadian military.
(CBS News) – An “unidentified object” which “violated “Canadian airspace” was shot down over Canada Saturday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed. The object was shot down by a U.S. military F-22 over the Yukon, Trudeau said.
A U.S. official previously confirmed to CBS News Saturday that the object was detected by North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and appeared to be a “high-altitude balloon.”
Trudeau tweeted that “Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled” after he “ordered the take down” of the object by NORAD.
In a statement to CBS News, Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said that the object was detected over Alaska on Friday night, and then monitored by two F-22 fighter jets with the assistance of the Alaska Air National Guard. (read more)
It all seems sketchy….
It was another balloon. Even funnier, it could have been one of our weather balloons.
They’ve just got to keep the fear ratio ratcheted up to 9 to keep us under control. This is nothing.
Invasion of the Chinese Cat Lasers.
Tail-chasing and hilarity ensue.
I can’t believe anybody is falling for this. It’s the same cast of clowns claiming all this nonsense. LULZ
What symbol do you paint on an F22 for a balloon kill?
One of those balloon game darts one finds at carnivals?
A trojan?
I see what you did there! LOLOLOLOL
A clown face of course!
How much does each missle cost? This could just go on and on and on and on,….. for reasons.
Wiki says upwards of $300,000 a piece.
Depending on warhead AIM 9X closer to 900,000
Why use a missile when the cannon can punch a hole in the ballon?
In 17th century Holland, they had Tulip Mania.
In 21st century America, we have Balloon Mania.
“Tulip Fever” 2017, was a pretty good movie, for those interested in the subject. Thanks for the reminder!
Yes, well if Canada shot down a NOAA weather balloon then it would be an act of war.
Justin does not want to be the target of a regime change operation, so he just looked the other way.

Perfect sense…… NOAA pays $M to put them in the atmosphere and the USAF pays $M to shoot them down so FBJ can look tough………………..STOP, please …….the laughing is starting to hurt!
Something has made everyone lose their minds……..must have been the Covid shots!
It sounds like Trudeau talked our dementia patient into spending $300,000 for one of our missiles to shoot down his “threat”.
“We have met the enemy and he is us!”
If norad can’t keep up with a balloon or balloons entering north american airspace norad is about as useful as joe biden at his best.
I don’t remember seeing joe biden at his best except the time he sniffed the thanksgiving turkey’s neck during a turkey talk he stumbled through on thanksgiving day.
😂
But NORAD can successfully track Santa all over the world on Christmas Eve.
When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait for the Circus to come to town.
Now, the whole country is a permanent circus.
Something Wicked This Way Comes
😂😂
Here’s the truth about the balloons from 2019 along with the FCC grant documents inside the article.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/02/pentagon-balloons-surveillance-midwest
The Guardian spreading ‘Truth’? I will take a pass, thank you very much!
Just read the US is scrambling jets in Montana and the FAA has closed airspace around Havre, Montana
This is just getting sillier and sillier. Does the military not realize how incompetent this makes them look?
Clay Pigeon Target Drones ?
Poor F4. 🙁
BBW…..Biden Ballon Wars
Where in the you know what are the adults?
Marked for elimination.
N/A
Neun und neunzig Luftballons!
Genau!
Thank God it’s not Christmas.
Amen!
Someone please post the pic of slack-jawed Hillary having an orgasm of fake delight at balloonsare being released? This thread isn’t complete without it.
I wonder if Gen Millie has called his Chicom counterpart a lot the past couple of days?
From 2019
The US military is conducting wide-area surveillance tests across six midwest states using experimental high-altitude balloons, documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reveal.
Up to 25 unmanned solar-powered balloons are being launched from rural South Dakota and drifting 250 miles through an area spanning portions of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri, before concluding in central Illinois.
Travelling in the stratosphere at altitudes of up to 65,000ft, the balloons are intended to “provide a persistent surveillance system to locate and deter narcotic trafficking and homeland security threats”, according to a filing made on behalf of the Sierra Nevada Corporation, an aerospace and defence company.

Not only do they fly here over the U.S. along with U.S. spy drones, they fly over other countries.
Check out Spyglass software: all flying objects tracked and identified.
Fascinating info gleaned. For free coverage check out Moneywerx sitrep updates on YouTube.
Yes Monkey Werx tracks them on UTube.
Astronomers have just spotted several very large space craft taking off from Mars and heading for Earth.
At the speed they are traveling, they seem very angry.
At last report they were headed for Grover’s Mill, New Jersey.
🤣 🤣 🤣
They want their Illudium Pew 36 Space Modulator back! 😉
No. They landed in 2020. Cou8find any intelligent life. Went to Uranus looking there!
A third small cylindrical object was shot down.
When the object was opened it appeared to contain copies of biden classified docs.
The fbi is investigating.
And a noose…Don’t forget the noose!
😆😆😆👍👍👍
I think the Chinese are just f’n with Biden now. Jerking our chain and laughing at us. We’re not a serious nation anymore.
I’m wondering if Biden and Trudeau and their pupper masters are jerking our chain and laughing at us.
We’re seriously in need of a reality detector. This has the feel of a shoestring budget, grade-b movie sketched out by very lazy writers. –Uh we’ll say it was an object, yeah an object -kinda gray. Usual disclaimer: could be real.
Biden The DemoINCRATS Buffoon’s Balloon!
Just another “change the subject” from Biden, FBI, et al…
All of a sudden there are “balloons” coming from foreign countries and our “military” has no clue? Certainly, brainless Biden has no clue.
B.S. The economy is heading down, down, down. Inept DemoNICRATS just want to “change the subject” of a failing economy and turmoil … and weakness. Wake Up America! The Founding Fathers are, again rolling over in their graves.
Democrats are truly demonic, stupid and weak. Clearly!
If the UFO’s were actually smart, they would have come across our southern border 🙂
The US Miltary would have given them an royal escort.
And the O’Biden admin hosted them at the WH to award with a medal of honor.
#clownworld #fjb
Worried about balloons and borders. Ignoring people crossing illegally across our border. “Border Security”
How does Justin from Canada order American F-22’s to take down something flying in Canadian airspace?
NORAD is a partnership, all the details of authorities and procedures hammered out long ago.
From what I read (don’t believe it either) Castro was at a $1000 plate do in Quebec, so he was either high, drunk or both! Stupid and useless I say. F**k Trudope Castro!
Okay so now that Justin From Canada is involved, we can be assured that something nefarious is going on, and that WE are the baddies.
This will be the excuse for, Brandon and Trudy to extend an invitation for the PLA / CCP to have bases here so they can take care of their own spy-trash and have joint exercises.
“For our safety” of course.
Chinese just sit back and laugh at the confusion over a few balloons, we will never see the attack coming confuse over a Balloon you will miss the big prize.
Who pays for the missile ?
You do.
Sounds like a case of deflection to me…
Keep wagging that dog.
I smell a National Emergency in the works- followed by a lockdown and maybe Martial Law….
Congress to be suspended….
How convenient…
Masks! Don’t forget the masks!
F’ em if they dare try it.
Trudeau’s Military
Sometime in 2026, Canada “might” be capable of shooting down a trespassing balloon or other object entering Canadian airspace itself. Trudeau has stalled the purchase of new fighter aircraft ever since he became PM.
Former Cons. Defence Minister MacKay said, “The delay has impacted quite severely on the Royal Canadian Air Force in terms of recruitment and retention of pilots, fighter aircraft capability, and the world has changed.” This applies to the rest of the depleted Canadian military during Trudeau’s “leadership.”
A recent deal is apparently complete to buy 88 F-35 fighter jets from the U.S. The first 16 will be delivered in 2026, while the next 72 will be ordered in “later years.” 2 decade old F-22’s were not mentioned.
Trudeau delayed a deal as long as possible by waffling over the purchase of 18 Boeing Super Hornets or his 2nd choice the F-35’s. But when Boeing launched a trade dispute with Montreal aerospace firm Bombardier, Trudeau gave up on the Hornets. (Data from CTV News)
Pretty boy MacKay!!
Reports said it was about the size of a car. Maybe it was Musk’s Tesla dropping out of orbit and falling to earth.
More likely an older model corvette –
They don’t seem to realize we are already dead. From the one that made it all the way from Alaska to South Carolina and out to sea. They had time for many many kill shots and bio weapons.
It’s too late to save us. Try as you might but we are already gone.
V’GER
Don’t worry about anything. China’s technology is going backwards. According to John Kirby, NORAD was unable to detect these things during the Trump Administration
If this keeps up, we won’t have any missiles left to defend Taiwan.
Maybe that’s the idea.
Lol
Let’s hope they don’t shoot down the Goodyear Blimp “out of an abundance of caution” as it’s doing aerial shots for Superbowl…

@Swig retweeted
The first balloon was totally insignificant and we were able to jam it the whole time. Completely unrelated but we’re shooting down anything and everything in the sky right now. @MostlyPeaceful
I am not sure how anyone could claim we jammed it at all, let alone successfully.
A photo of the joint operation has been released:
Heh
Too funny. Thanks.
Clay pigeons!!!
PULL! – The command the shooter issues when they wish a clay Pigeon to be released.
Sighting Targets – The clay pigeons are thrown while the shooter is in the stand so the shooters can see the flight path of the clay pigeons.
Single – One clay pigeon is released on the “Pull” command.
Pair Simultaneously– Two clay pigeons are released at the same time from two traps on the “Pull” command.
Pair On Report – The first clay is released on the command “Pull”. The second clay is only released once the shooter fires at the first clay.
Would be a bunch of sad kids if this was on Christmas Eve.
They’re UFOs. It’s upon us.
I say we all go to Dollar Tree, get every balloon they have (if any helium left) and let em go. That should keep them busy for awhile.
Somebody at the White House just saw Independence Day and is not going to let Randy Quaid get all the accolades.
Sure hope an aircraft doesn’t get shot down by mistake; apparently last week or the week before a Chinese satellite was found to have been beaming laser beams on one of the Hawaiian islands.
https://insiderpaper.com/china-fired-green-laser-beams-over-hawaii-experts/
I think i have it — the CH are launching balloons from offshore in the pacific from freighters – they will launch them till we run out of Sidewinders. It’s all about runnng out of Sidewinders!!!!! (sarc)
And we may have to buy some back from President Z ( I think that jet ace , the ghost of Kiev, who shot down innumerable enemy planes, has some left over ) (s//)
Raytheon has been making em … double time … because SlavaMontana!
What the hell, can’t Canada defend its own territory?
they are treating us like cats chasing a laser…while learning about our consistent rules of engagement
Instead of reporting and commenting on some fing balloons, how about reporting/commenting on the FOURTH deliberate train derailment in a week, this time in Detroit.

No injuries, no hazmat spill.
NORAD does know that Santa and his sleigh, are back at the North Pole, right??
