Another high altitude object shot down over Alaska.

No info on it yet except that it had propulsion, steerage and was flying over military bases.

White House says a second 'high altitude object' shot down ...​

https://www.usatoday.com › news › politics › 2023/02/10


29 minutes ago — Kirby said the object was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and “posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight.”

Hopefully they'll keep getting lower so I'll have the chance to down one... My truck would look good with a ballon stenciled on it...

US shoots down another high-altitude ‘object’ that was the ‘size of a small car’ over Alaska

There was a NORAD radar installation in the Blue Ridge Mountains just west of Lynchburg Virginia.

Circa 1980 we we're up there messing around thinking it was closed when a guy opened the door and asked what we were doing. Told him, just looking around. He took us up into the dome and showed us the radar screen. Even that remote there were more than 200 blips at any time. That was 40 years ago, I wonder how many blips there are today.

Kinda interesting to look at the winds at various altitudes around that launch. You can click on altitude settings in lower RH corner. Note the dramatic changes in wind speed and direction as altitude changes:

Last week’s spy balloon was the size of three school buses, according to Pentagon officials. A sophisticated surveillance craft with propellers that gave it maneuverability, the balloon carried a payload the size of a jetliner.

The object was destroyed by a missile from an F-22 fighter plane off the northeastern coast of Alaska.

Is this second balloon shaped like a squirrel?

 

[redneckbmxer24]

First thing I think of is it’s propaganda due to his failure to act on the actual one last week when it could have been downed in the same area before passing over the continental US and completing its mission.

I saw a loaded A10 flying low up the mountains Wednesday where they don’t do training with them so who knows WTF is going on these days.

The Rivet Joints were most definitely training sorties. TOPCT is the schoolhouse call sign. HOOVR is one of the ops squadrons, but they are both near a signals training range. I flew these in a previous life and have many many hours boring holes in the sky in that area.
