    I guess Biden now gets to choose a plush pikachu toy from the concessionaire.

      Why waste an expensive Sidewinder when you could just plug it with machine gun fire? Seems excessive for an object the size of a tiny car with no evasive ability.

        F-22's can carry a gatling gun and the object was well within the aircraft's operational ceiling. Maybe they don't want to get close enough to use gunfire?

          The purpose of the balloons is to get an up-close look at our missiles

          Mr Biden is only too happy to oblige

            So, we've had 3 flyovers in less than 10 days.

            Is this something unusual, or is it just now being publicized because of the balloon popped last Saturday?

            Something tells me it's the latter. I would be surprised if China whoever is deploying these things all of a sudden.

              I’d agree with you.

              I feel much the same way about classified documents. I suspect it’s been an open secret that yeah, you really shouldn’t, but everybody does and no one asks.

                                Yep the odds of hitting anything are infinitesimal. But the question is what is it and how did it get there.

                                          Just speculating … if no fly-over object ever got publicized, North America can know about them, strategically feed them with misinformation, and let the fly-over objects carry bad intelligence back to their operator(s). But once one such fly-over object is publicized, the adversaries know that you know and this sort of counterintelligence tactics won’t work anymore, you might as well just neutralize the fly-over objects.
