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

[Spymaster]

I for one welcome our new cylindrical silverish grey small car sized overlords.

From the Planet of The People's Republic of China.

They missed a chance

Spoiler: interplanetary craft

Well, at the moment it was a UFO

Now it is a downed UFO

and the yanks are on their way to recover the debris so they may tell us yet what it was, or they may not - tell us what it was, it all depends on what it actually was if you see what I mean

It stops being an F when its shot down. Might also stop being an O.

If they've shot down a UFO they'll have started an interplanetary war. .

Any beings capable of interstellar flight would also be capable of understanding the concept of territoriality, especially when it manifests amongst a species that hasn't even solved politics yet.

 

[Jennaonthebeach]

If aliens who had the capability of space travel to planets tens or hundreds of light years away in physics defying craft were at war with us yesterday we'd probably all be dead or captured today.

Like all the best conspiracies, the perpetrators are both highly intelligent and wield vast power and are thick as shit at the same time.

Buzz kill.

Not necessarily. They more than likely spent the last couple of hundred light years travelling here and came in peace to share cancer cures and advanced systems to end world poverty.

And the yanks stuck a Sidewinder into it.

Also they'd probably have propulsion and steering.

"...it wasn't 'flying' with any sort of propulsion..."
"It did not appear to have maneuverability capability, he said. "It was virtually at the whim of the wind."

The rate the US is shooting stuff down well there’ll be a war started soon

 

[bluescreen]

But what do we really think it is?

Dangerous height for it to be flying, whatever its purpose.

Weren't the last two objects violating US airspace?

 

[Serge Forward]

But what do we really think it is?

 

[Spymaster]

But what do we really think it is?

Metal cylinders don't fly, so it was either attached to something like a ballon, or it wasn't a metal cylinder and the US either aren't telling or don't know.

Unlike the Chinese "weather balloon" there don't seem to be any ground witnesses to this one so the Airforce can tell us whatever they like.

Defo aliens

You all want it to be aliens.

Cowboys vs. Aliens:



Yippee ki-yay!

Bloody NATO

 

[Flavour]

I think this is it. The big one. Irrefutable evidence of visitors from other worlds. But I don't think we'll be communicating with them any time soon, nor do I think there will be any war.

 

[xenon]

possibly China, maybe on Russia's behalf but there has been a big increase in UFO sightings by US Navy, Airforce personell over the last few years.

What's to see up that way that a satalite can't already?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Unidentified Scattered Debris

 

[Serene]

Have they released any footage of it? I assume they have photos or video.

 

[Flavour]

Boring unsatisfying answer: chinese / Russian military drone.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Has anyone seen Branson recently?

 

[Bingoman]

NK doesn't have that level of technology.









Trabants are years off

They do now

It was Rednecks:



Some of this is pretty impressive, tbh.

 

[weltweit]

I think the Yank military have had enough time to locate and check out the remains of the car sized object and are now making up feasible stories rather than the truth, that it is an alien vessel.
