Another "object" shot down

But now we (and other countries) have satellites that can read the text in a golf ball from space.

What advantage is a balloon?

This type of spying is LISTENING to communications systems. not reading golf balls. Look up Canadian Forces Station ALERT, which does the same thing, listening to the Russian and Chinese communications systems. ALERT is our "ear to the world " located on Ellesmere Island in the very far north in the Canadian Arctic. It has been listening since the mid 1950's. Canada, the USA the UK Australia and New Zealand are the "five Eyes " international intelligence sharing organization, which gathers and shares military information about the countries that threaten us . Link about ALERT CFS Alert - Wikipedia A posting to ALERT is for 6 months, and is considered to be a "hardship posting " because of the isolation. ALERT is the most northerly inhabited place in the world, and about 60 people are there at any given time. JimB.
 

Didn't someone mention (in an earlier post) that at least 3 balloons passed over us during the prior administration. Amazing how our political system can decipher which balloons are dangerous and which can be overlooked.😳

Since it's been over 24 hours now, and we haven't seen a picture of the object, or been told anything .. it seems Weird! No?

Twitter is full of smart remarks about the "object" ....
Elon Musk's Testa is one.

Okay, so the service ceiling for commercial aircraft is around 42,000 feet. An object the size of a car is shot down at 40,000 so obviously a risk. Why haven't we heard anything more? Is it customary for the pentagon or whatever entity would keep the public informed to not say *anything* except "object shot down?" I haven't always followed news very closely, but it just seems very unusual to me. Am I wrong?

(Has anything been mentioned anywhere about Alaska being so close to Russia? Maybe my mind is running off the track on a tangent?)

Seems unusual to me also. By now 'they' know something .... why the cloak of secrecy?
 
Finally, picture of the recovery, and they are calling it a UFO. Ironically Russia had one come into their country last month.

From MSN ....
The US government have been much more open about the classification of UFOs and UAPs since 2017 after The Pentagon released over 1,574 pages of previously classified documents to the public. There have been several recorded instances of unidentified flying objects throughout the nation’s history but there have yet to have been any confirmed otherworldly beings recorded in any released material so far.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday that an “unidentified object” had been shot down over Canadian airspace on his orders.


“I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. @NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object,” Trudeau said on Twitter.


Trudeau said that he spoke with US President Joe Biden on Saturday and that Canadian forces will lead the object recovery operation.


Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand tweeted Saturday that she had discussed the incident with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin “and reaffirmed that we’ll always defend our sovereignty together.”

I bought my grandson this lens filter for his telescope - just a bit better-than-average average-guy's telescope. Anyway, this filter allows you to see all the stuff in space that's man-made; satellites, space debris, that lost astronaut (just kidding), and you'd be amazed at how much stuff is out there. Really, it's incredible.

Can you tell me about the telescope? My grandson is turning 12 and would probably love something like that.
