The US Shot down 3 UFOs last weekend? Fighter pilot analyzes

The US Shot down 3 UFO's from 10-12 Feb 2023! This comes on the heels of the Chinese balloon shootdown. This is my initial analysis of the events. Would the Government tell us if it was Alien craft?

Must be a hell of a time to be Chris Lehto right now 🛸

I think it may be a false flag so the defense dept. can say all UAPs are chinese balloons.

If these really were alien vessels, it seems strange to me that we could so easily shoot them down given their history of performance capability.

Where are the photographs and why is literally nobody asking government officials about photographs and/or video footage?

Chris, you should look into the incident in 1967 at Malstrom AFB in Montana. Captain Robert Salas was on duty that day and his account of what happened is both humbling and terrifying.

An ubundance of caution: Shoot first ask questions later! Everyone seems to be getting pretty jumpy lately. I suppose there could be a reason for it, but if I were a bush pilot in Alaska, I would be triple checking that my transponder is working.

Great video, Chris! As a former fighter pilot, your take on this situation is refreshing after all the noise from the gov and media.
You put it into better perspective how USAF deployed a lot of resources to intercept, observe, and destroy these objects. If it was just hazardous sky trash or errant weather balloons that needed to be cleared, there would have been far easier (and cheaper) methods to use, correct? Instead, they deploy our best fighter aircraft with AWACS and refueling support?
Also, the object in Alaska, for instance, was approximately 40k feet. It would be interesting to know the windspeed at the coordinates of the object, at the time it was still airborne. What was the relative speed of the object, by comparison? If it was just a balloon, it should it have not matched direction and speed of the wind? To paraphrase what you mentioned in your recent interview on That UFO Podcast, we don't know of any craft of those dimensions, which lack obvious propulsion, that can loiter against the wind at that altitude.

Good video as always, Chris. Thanks for keeping us educated

I just listened to the audio of the pilots when they shot it down. Shiny black container? With strings?

It's literally A Flock of Seagulls!! LOL!

There's actually a ton of stuff launched into the atmosphere daily, just in the USA alone. One example is the NWS balloons sent up to gather weather info. I remember the number at roughly 160 per day from about 80 locations back in the '90's, and that's likely true today. These are smaller, about 2 meters in diameter and it's highly unlikely these were involved in these events. But the point is that there's a LOT of balloon-type stuff being launched every day from countless locations. My understanding is that a balloon launched from China, Japan, etc., and ascends to the appropriate altitude will catch the jet stream to North America (as I recall, the only successful "attack" on the US mainland by the Japanese in WW2 was via a high-altitude balloon equipped with an incendiary bomb) . One hypothesis is that we have recently enhanced our detection capabilities such that many objects in the atmosphere previously undetected are now being scrutinized and subsequently destroyed out of an abundance of caution.

Say no more, I'm SUBBED!

If you go due west from your tab on Lake Huron into Michigan and Oscoda, Mi . There is an old closed AF Base there. When I was a kid on vacation there the base had been buzzed by UAPS the night before and they had surface to air missles up and ready, I remember my dad commenting, thinking it was a drill for security as he never saw missles there before. We knew nothing of the UAPS but years later Linda Moultan Howe had a guest that was at that AF Base then and described the action. That was 1978 or 79

Yes, the ”cubes” are UAP drones with a size like a broad four seated dinner table in diameter, and round 150 cm tall. The top-side of the UAP-drone are smaller than bottom-side, with no visible propeller or jet-engines, just flat sides on all sides. Thats why people observing it, having problem to describe it. On close look you will notice that there are black screens looking frames on each four sides (not on bottom or the top sides), which turns white when its activating the scanning ability. The UAP drones are remoted by the ”modership”, which is much larger than the UAP-drone, but with similar shape often seen with the broad side on top, and the smaller side on the bottom in black colour. These UAP:s have visited us for years with NO deadly outcome. Except for now where Pentagon for the first time in US-history, openly admit that they have shut down these cubes. I really hope Pentagon have not started something they are not able to handle!

The US where the aliens are laughing and the weather balloons are scared.

Thanks for doing this work, the historical research. It’s really a public service!

[openleft]

OH buddy I'm excited, This week has been really interesting and lets all hope that this generates more public interest to get the government to wake the hell up.

[VooDooTube...]

I figured Chris would cover this topic. He is the perfect person for the job. Can't wait!!! 😎

I think Chris and Tony Hawk may be long lost twins separated at birth.
