Questions over unidentified object shot down in Alaska on Friday remain

Questions remain over the mysterious object shot down off the coast of Alaska on Friday.

US authorities are unclear as to what it looks like, what its purpose was or whether it had any connection to the Chinese balloon shot down a week before.

if they ever see a kid flying a bmx bike with a basket on the front then don’t shoot😟

Looks like we won’t be having Xmas this year.
RIP Santa

Absolutely taking the piss now. I mean shot down over a place called dead horse. Yeah they just keep flogging it don't they

[danejensen]

Shoot down the unknown object posing reasonable risk. Takes 8 days to shoot down massive clearly threatening balloon. Intelligent

And the Fact it had Happy Birthday on it has them scratching their heads.😂

Funny how there's no footage. I call Bs.

[oldnutta]

Don't they always say identify your target before firing 🤔

[geoffdrew]

Unidentified object? I can help them out there, it's a balloon.

[tulkus]

Just a weather balloon. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Why would you shoot down an object that they have no idea what it was first. More money to the military in the last omnibus at work.

[seanzhu]

car size? is it the Tesla roadster sent to space before?

[bongfunkmc]

Probably taking attention away from southern border

[billydog]

How long before we are told on Joe Rogan podcast aliens flew across the galaxy in a balloon and it's not the chinese

[Shamil]

In both scenarios “still looking for the debris” 🤥 sounds like we will never find

[daveevans]

it's called a weather balloon but make a big drama about it, ,takes the heat off the FJB camp for 5 minutes

[kybble]

And to admit you don't know what it looks like or what it's purpose was and you still shot it down. Just wow

[floralcouture]

Another ‘distraction’..to keep eyes off the bigger picture…🤦‍♀️msm

[j_sum]

Oh. NOW it's trendy to pop balloons.
A lot happens in a week.

[JohnMuzza]

If they tried this in a HEAVILY POPULATED STATE there would be millions of people to witness it. would you know if a tree fell in the woods? no, exactly the point, the only reason we know is because they told us!

[missunderstood]

It's one of their own!! Just to justify whatever it is they're gonna do next.
