Why are none of these reporters demanding pictures of the "objects" ???
Of course they have pics.
And challenge the lie that they are "unknown" in origin. No responsible person shoots down a target without identifying it first.

[staceystandon]

Why haven’t pictures of these objects been released? Including pictures of the wreckage?

[haroldfeldt]

Do they have pics of the balloons before they shot them down?

[mclel]

You're taliking about FN gun violence??? Now??? Of all times??!! Ohio. Answers 9n Ohio.. this is bs.. gd you

Why is she talking nonsense when this country is so divided and needs to heal. Justi talks jibber jabber. We need Martin Luther king, God rest his soul. RIP 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ( also talking crap against 2nd amendment)🤨🤔

[waynelawryk]

Makes me warm and fuzzy knowing that it took the pilot two missiles to produce one kill shot for a balloon in Huron. Hopefully the first one only took out some guys’ toolshed.

[leinad.s]

Watching her opening statement. 😔 That thing is representing America. It's gotta be a joke right?

[fkapps]

The question is not would trump shoot the balloons. The question is whether Trump would know about the balloons and react to them st all.

[bubbak]

with all this talk about aliens has got me watching " Mars Attacks on Netflix.. that's a good movie.

[mscottmiracle]

This video is about promoting gun control, not the objects violating our air space. The Forbes label is misleading. In any case they talk about what they want to talk about - not what the people want to know about.

I don’t believe this woman in the yellow is a real human

[debbiehernandez]

how many damn times will she say continue the work. She can say anything but we live in this economy and it is in the sh*tter. I am so sick of the lies. American's are starving.

Yup... Typically when you blast something out of the sky it would by definition become "benign"... Did komala's speech writer help out with Katrine's prepared answers?
