Those planes have really powerful zoom to see the object without getting to close. Why the hell do you use a missile to down a balloon. Our government now and the deep state are incredibly stupid.

If they did indeed shoot down a hobby group's project balloon, this is beyond embarrassing on the world stage.

It definitely doesn't project "super power" to our enemies.

I'm sure Xi is getting one hell of a chuckle out of this ****.

The reason the GOV spent $400,000 missiles (according to my sources) was they were coming close to there exportation dates and just used them for expermental reasons.

And if it came out all of that stuff was filmed on a Hollyweird movie set to act as a diversion for inflaction...it would not shock me in the least; since we all know Sleepy Joe has lots of connections there.

Looks like that's indeed what they did... embarrassing doesn't really cover it but on the other hand, everyone will have forgotten about it next weeks when Biden and his incompetent handlers provide something even better...

US hobby club reports missing balloon after ‘UFO shootdowns’

A group of hobbyists in Illinois fears that one of its small “pico” balloons may have been shot down by an American fighter jet thousands of feet over Canada, possibly mistaken as a hostile aircraft after a Chinese high-altitude balloon entered US airspace without permission last month.

With US officials still unable to confirm what was shot down on February 11, members of the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade (NIBBB) have offered a possible explanation. Tracking data shared by the group shows that one of its small mylar balloons went “missing in action” in Canada’s Yukon region on Saturday, matching the description, altitude and location of the unidentified object shot down by a US F-22 the same day.

The NIBBB and similar hobby groups build what are known as pico balloons, sending the devices high into the atmosphere and tracking them as they circumnavigate the globe. The balloons typically cost no more than $200 to construct – with some running as cheap as $12 – and are often less than one meter in diameter.

The military offered the first official description of the downed object earlier this week, saying it appeared to be a “small, metallic balloon with a tethered payload below it” – closely matching the features of the NIBBB’s pico balloon, which bore the call sign K9YO-15.

By the time it stopped transmitting on February 10, the balloon had circled the earth six times, having been in the air for 123 consecutive days. It is unclear why the device was not spotted on its previous passes, though officials have said they first picked up the object after radar adjustments were made by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

The object was fired upon with an AIM-9X Sidewinder missile, costing taxpayers a minimum of $472,000....

the club's members are white supremacists and the balloon was filled with black oppression pixie dust that was scheduled to be sprinkled over the Chicago area...all inspired by Trump...

Trump produced 25% of our current deficit  Funny how that only counts when a Democrat is in the Whitehouse.  You guys were sure mad when Obama didn't stop the deficit from ramping up.
