US shoots down unknown object over Alaska

[BStangW]

They know exactly what it is. They don't just shoot things down without first identifying, they're just saying that it's a possible threat to commercial aircraft! Come on Man!!

[robertallred]

Anyone who is in the Air Force knows you dont shoot something down if you dont know what it is.

[MrDaveWTF]

Why are there images of a U2 when nothing in the report says anything about a U2?

[ursulaglissmann]

If it was unknown, they wouldn't have shot it down.

[kerryblogna]

Sadly like everything else we will never be told the truth!

[michelleortiz]

Anyone want to tell the graphics guy that AL = Alabama…AK= Alaska 😂

[BL-jtqt]

So now an Alaskan kid is really mad because they shot down his Science Project.

[spiralout]

Can you imagine the non disclosure agreements those pilots have to sign right now… probably 250 pages each 😂

[JillMaurer]

Someone please let ABC know that Alabama doesn't look anything like that.

[siyaocai]

Now everyone forgets about the classified docs.

[OzarkRiverBanks]

Now wasn’t this a bit premature? Alaska was too populated with the last balloon to be shot down!

[marsallen]

Imagine believing the pilot shot something down without knowing what it was

[mikev]

Why wasn't it allowed to complete it's mission before shooting it down?

[deadname...]

You never fire at an unknown target... they know exactly what it is.

[feliperivas]

As an armchair UFO expert myself, I can confidently say that it’s aliens.

[johnm]

We need pictures, videos to believe this now

[Earlvis]

They knew exactly what it was because they put it up there to begin with. This is a smokescreen folks.

[Jojo-zlrg]

The good thing is the FBI is working to find out what it is so we can be told something else

[falcorthewonderdog]

"We couldn't identify it so we shot it down"

[martinz.]

One was a balloon, the other is an orb that comes from some other realm. Not from our planet. No matter what, thry will never tell us.
