The Arrogant Worms Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 So another.....the plot thickens.... https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/12/politics/lake-huron-high-altitude-object/index.html The US military shot down another high-altitude object over Lake Huron on Sunday afternoon, according to a US official and a congressional source briefed on the matter. A second US official said the takedown of the unidentified object was “at the direction” of President Joe Biden. The operation marks the third day in a row that an unidentified object was shot down over North American airspace. An unidentified object was shot down over northern Canada on Saturday. On Friday, an unidentified object was shot down in Alaska airspace by a US F-22. And last weekend, a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon was taken down by F-22s off the coast of South Carolina. Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan said Sunday that the operation to down the object over Lake Huron was carried out by pilots from the US Air Force and the National Guard. “Great work by all who carried out this mission both in the air and back at headquarters. We’re all interested in exactly what this object was and it’s purpose,” she said in a tweet. Republican Rep. Jack Bergman of Michigan also confirmed the operation Sunday, tweeting, “The US military has decommissioned another ‘object’ over Lake Huron.” “I appreciate the decisive action by our fighter pilots,” he said.

How do they know it’s the Chinese that are sending these? Seems like Russia would be the ones doing it to test US defenses. Also it made it all the way to Lake Huron? Where’s Canada in monitoring these things? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be possible that they detected it a lot earlier, but don't want to advertise their capabilities. Another is that at it wasn't over a safe area to destroy it until it hit the lakes. Or, worse case it evaded detection til then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would either country have anything that wouldn’t have any obvious propulsion systems? That’s the part that doesn’t make any sense to me.
