A third object shot down

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.

There’s nothing in Havre but miles and miles and miles of wheat. Have at it.

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

Indeed.

And I just can't believe that this is all just a coincidence.

4 events in 9 days?

Nope.

NOTAM pulled.

Canada have anything to say about this? I can't find anything.

I don’t know why you can’t find anything. The story is is at the top of virtually every news source in this country since around 2:30 pm MDT Saturday afternoon.

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?

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.

Depends on how his night went last night...

Some things I've heard mentioned...

1. The objects are to verify prevailing wind patterns, to be used for planning biowarfare.
2. The objects are used in conjunction with spy satellites to gage response - time, assets used, where those assets come from, chain of communication after contact, and HUMINT, such as the response of the President and the American people.

All I was finding at the time was Canadian reporting on what the balloon and the U.S. were doing, nothing on Canada's own response.

Thanks for the link.

Why didn't Canada shoot it down?
