Or resurrect Bob Munden! He could have taken out all 4 balloons on the same draw.

They just shot down another one over Lake Huron. Where did this one originate from? Did it just pop up over the Great Lakes, or from china like the others? Did nobody notice this balloon traveling over the country until today?

Actually, the last 3 are still being referred to by "officials" as "objects", the first one they're calling a balloon... Smile

Well, a balloon is still an object. Smile

Plus, this just in: Both 'objects' shot down over Alaska, Canada believed to be balloons, US says

Disrupt the Super Bowl‽ That would be a 2023 Pearl Harbor.

“ Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one’s own understanding without another’s guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one’s own mind without another’s guidance.”

Apparently that is the one that was over Havre, MT last night that they then claimed was just "an anomaly". This according to FNC.

China is claiming to be ready to shoot down an object.
Suuuuure they are. It's a bullshit ploy.
"See we have them too! It's not us sending these..."
More smoke and mirrors from China.

I'm not taking them at their word about this anymore. They can tell me they just shot down fifty balloons and my response will be "My cat's breath smells like cat food."

I don't expect to ever know the actual, real, un-spun truth because they wouldn't recognize the truth even if it bit them on the ass.

Could be a kid’s science fair project like these guys:

“But the DIY space race didn't really take off until around 2009, after two MIT students built their own makeshift rig for just $150. Justin Lee and Oliver Yeh filled a latex weather balloon with helium and attached a styrofoam beer cooler, which held a cheap Canon compact camera and a few instant hand warmers. A prepaid, GPS-equipped cell phone in the cooler helped track the "payload" after the balloon burst at 93,000 feet and as the box plummeted down on a parachute.” Link

U.S. officials are confirming that the “object” spotted floating over Canada was a “small metallic balloon” carrying a “tethered payload.”

On Saturday, the U.S. shot down the balloon after being ordered by President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau ordered the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NAADC) to shoot down the balloon, making it land over the territory of Yukon.

The Biden White House claimed that it was aware of the balloon’s presence for 24 hours before it was shot down. However, the U.S. and Canada are still claiming that the origins of the balloon are unknown.

I heard it suggested that the Lake Huron "object" may have been the "anomaly" in Montana a couple of days ago. Sorry, I saw it on TV and no attribution.
