US Shoots down UFO 40k feet over Alaska

[kwillia]

It was about the size of a car. Believe it fell on frozen ice so expect a good recovery.

"We're calling this an object because that's the best description we have right now," Kirby said. "We do not know who owns it, whether it's state-owned or corporate-owned or privately-owned. We just don't know."

This makes no sense. They have been tracking it for 24 hrs. and they never sent a plane up to see what it was? It's the size of a car but they don't mention a shape.?
After tracking it for 24 hours they should know where it came from .and have some idea what it is.;

Never want to fly Reeves again, flying sideways in a 727 was never fun.

After reading about it, it makes sense to me. Detected last night, scrambled and intercepted, determined no propulsion and at the "whim of the wind". Went back up today, got a better look at it, determined unmanned and then, once cleared, shot it down. Description says it as cylindrical and gray, about the size of a car. So what, makes it about 20 foot long by 5 foot or so.

Looking at the winds aloft for Barrow ('cause it's up that way) the winds at 39,000 feet were only 12 knots. So it wasn't moving much at all and had no hanging payload. Be interesting to know what type of material it was made from.

What was the explosion over Montana?

Only flew them once, in an Electra from Adak out to Shemya, then back to Anchorage.

So the better look determined "about the size of a car, cylindrical, and grey" ?

How can we distract from Joe Biden's dismal presidency and all the devastation the Democrats are causing this country?

Oh! I know! UFO!!!

And unmanned.
