US shoots down ‘unidentified object’ that violated airspace over Canada
A US military jet shot down an unidentified airborne object over Canada’s Yukon Territory on Saturday

Is Ukraine or Russia using balloons for surveillance? Perhaps they are getting loose from their tethers...
This is getting ridiculous 
''Another unidentified flying object in the country's sky – over Lake Huron near the Canadian border.
According to WSJ , the "object" had the shape of an octagon and flew at an altitude of 6 km.
Congressman Jack Bergman claims that the object has already been shot down...''
"Biden gave the order to shoot down the object over Lake Huron," - Reuters.

Derailment in a small town isn't that uncommon. There are cargos that are worse than vinyl chloride, and cold temps play hell with railroad stuff, so thinking that was a legit accident. No deaths or injuries AFAIK.

Relatively concise wrap-up of today's aerial hijinks
Still a lot to unpack.
They are saying the craft they couldn't find over Montana was required today and downed over Lake Huron.
Downed Alaska UFO is MIA AFAIK
Canada UFO is ?

I quite agree with you, buddy. Hopefully, they don't push this too far.
Marco Rubio says UFOs 'routinely' operate over US airspace
Rubio tweeted: 'The last 72 hours revealed to the public what was happening for years, unidentified aircraft routinely operating over restricted US airspace'
It's news mayhem today!
Nordstream and Pfizer stories sure got buried.
Pentagon refuses to rule out objects flying over the US are ALIENS
The Pentagon has refused to rule out that the recent unidentified objects shot out of the sky could be aliens - after the most recent was gunned down over Lake Huron today.
Ministers admit spy balloons might ALREADY have targeted the UK
Transport minister Richard Holden said there were likely to be elements in Beijing acting as a 'hostile state', and the government must be 'realistic about the threat'.
China sent a high-altitude balloon over North America FOUR years ago
Chinese scientist Wu Zhe in 2019 told state media that his team had successfully sent an airship called 'Cloud Chaser' over the mainland US at an altitude of more than 60,000 ft
Definitely PRC mil - look at the bases it overflew:
Getting the masses pumped for another war, I'm thinkin
So did every network cancel their planned programming and schedule UFO programs this week?
Or is it a coincidence?
I think I need to break out my Slim Whitman CD's... just in case.

Classic cheesy movie! WWIII with David Soul, what's her name from "That's Incredible!" and I think one of Rock Hudson's last roles.
BTW, the "cylindrical object is now a "metallic balloon" and the F16 missed it's first AIM9X shot.

We'll never know what was on those "objects "
Scheiße! Wrong cheesy end of the world Arctic war movie with Rock Hudson!!!
Life was so much simpler then.
vs.
WWIII
That miniseries was a big deal in 1982. Cold War was hot and NBC pimped the hell out of the show for weeks, IIRC.
Afghanistan even got a cameo
Eventually it all goes south, as most WW3 movies do ('Threads', 'The Day After'). Still it seems in retrospect, so much safer a time. China really changes the entire dynamic.
"The Chinese might have sent one of the cheapest and oldest instruments of surveillance known to mankind.
And the entire American political, military-industrial complex felt threatened for a week. For a moment it seemed that we were back in times of zeppelin blitz. ''
On Amazon, the cheap meteorological balloons that fly into the stratosphere cost 130$ !! ,A balloon with a small camera and transmitter and basice telemetry can be launched into the stratosphere for well under 1000$. . Now it seems, anyone with a bit of resource and skill can make a 'spy balloon or and UFO' forcing the USAF to scramble jets , NORAD folks to shit bricks, the Whitehouse to issue pressers and who knows what kind of meetings of high-ranking officials to take place for couple hundred $''
So when is the F35 turn with the party balloons? I can only imagine the plethora of folks has now seen another way to make it onto the news on the cheap.

Guess who the stars are, guess who had to get their head shaved.
Don't know about you, but I've never seen a boot camper enlisted come out of the barber with ANY hair.
You can almost tell, how long the movie took to shoot, from the hair growth on John Candy.
Air Force medics in the 1970s had a Samson complex. They were afraid that they would lose their strength if they walked into a barber shop.
their buddies needed something to pull

It is a problem that can be explained in economic terms. The true, un-subsidized, cost of helium is to the tune of $100 a party balloon.
Cobra Ball over Alaska just turned north and shut off ADSB, thought maybe Eielson but might be up there to do some work.

Did Joe Biden shoot down hobbyists $12 balloon with $380,000 missile?
A mystery object shot down by U.S. fighter jets amid ongoing hysteria sparked by a Chinese 'spy' balloon may have been a $12 inflatable launched by a hobby group in Illinois.
