Object shot down over Lake Huron likely fell into waters in #Canada, according to the US Department of Defense.
US officials say it hasn't been determined how the latest objects shot down stayed aloft and that's why they're not being referred to as balloons.
"It could be a gaseous type of balloon inside a structure or it could be some type of a propulsion system," Air Force General Glen VanHerck, head of NORAD and Northern Command tells reporters.
Asked if he has ruled out aliens, Gen. VanHerck says he hasn't ruled out anything.
William Hamilton@w7voa “Are the aliens coming to Earth to kill us all and steal our wifi?”
PixiePancake@w7voa If these advanced beings can cure Covid, will Republicans instantly vilify them? (Asking for the sane contingent of humans.) P.S. Should we be shooting down everything we can’t identify? *See The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 movie about humans being rejected by aliens because of how violent we are).
Simon I Groove musically@w7voa Doesn't seem to be trying at all!

Darwin Woodka@w7voa where the hell isn't there a "sensitive DoD site"? They're pretty much in every congressional district after all.
Richard Knott@w7voa 20,000 is low for a balloon, what the heck are these things? Long range Drones?

Tan_Hana_Dharma_Mangrwa@w7voa Yay, another balloon party...
KingOfHeartsDid someone lose a birthday balloon?
BduzBoop@w7voa sigh. Do you think the fact they opened the filters for tracking stuff, and everyone is paying attention is escalating this, or is it really just happening all the time?
Blake Leonard@BduzBoop Widening filters means more objects to analyze and now scrambling aircraft for every such “UFO.”
@w7voa thanks, our house is kinda thinking that the filters being changed and govt doesn’t want to appear to be hiding or ignoring things, so we are hearing about it more. We are not freaking out.

Draw a sky dong and become a legend!
🏳️🌈Superdave! 😘🍷👨🦯@w7voa @RiversideBryan Another ufo?
@w7voa Another UFOs? PRC already claimed that they shot another "UFO" also.
