What is this car sized object which America has shot down?

Seems China wants a bit of the action too.

There have been reports of so-called tic tacs for years. This is proof they are real

Indeed, I recall my 1980s Usborne book of UFOs had illustrations of cigar like, cylindrical objects, as reported in many sightings. I wonder if the tech has improved since then or if this is the little greys equivalent of boy racers zipping about in suped up old cars.

Please be aliens. Please be aliens. Please be aliens.

Even an invasion of terrifying advanced forces would be a welcome respite at this point

Would it though?

we would be united as a race under common cause....to use their tech to destroy the tories

News is saying that there was a second one.

They've come to see their supreme rulers, the mighty seagulls.

Would it though?

It wouldn't be wholly unsurprising, given the last 7 years or so....

The 2020s have been objectively wild and we're only three years in.

This would be awkward.

To be fair, the US military is particularly good at killing children.

American believes two objects shot down over Alaska were balloons.

What popycock the initial reports said nothing about balloons.

WTF do you think they were then?

Until they are positively identified they are UFOs by definition.

The initial reports made it quite clear that they were balloons.

Doesn't look that way to me.

I saw the first press conference at the White House, balloons were not mentioned.

 

[Signal 11]

Something floating in the air being blown around by the wind, with no propulsion or steering doesn't sound like a balloon to you?

 

[LDC]

Until they are positively identified they are UFOs by definition.

You think they should have announced they've shot down 2 UFOs?

 

[AverageJoe]

Are people getting confused?

Two balloons shot down that were claimed to be Chinese satellites.

Two cylindrical, metallic objects shot down over Alaska and Canada.

Both separate incidents.

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

The first reports i read were about a silver cylindrical car shaped object. I saw an interview with a general saying that they weren't sure if it belonged to a government/state/corporation/private individual /andromeda galaxy.

I think the fighter pilots would have been able to identify a balloon.

Unidentified flying objects is what they were. Are until further analysis.

You're confused, they're balloons not satellites. Balloons claimed to be spy or weather balloons depending on who you listen to.

The other things are described as cylindrical metallic objects, but small with no propulsion and drifting in the wind. Like balloons.

The second was in Canadian airspace and Trudeau has said that ground forces are on the scene at the moment and that he will share what they find. This is positive, it means the Americans can't just brush it under the carpet. Whatever it was.

Silver is both a colour and a metal. Presumably it was meant as a description of colour, ie grey and shiny, but willing to be corrected (and I accept that even if it was, using silver to describe the colour means there is heavy connotation/implication of metal in this context)

 

[Mr.Bishie]

The first reports i read were about a silver cylindrical car shaped object.

That was never said at all. What was said was, “an object the size of a small car”
