bill5 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Seems to me they're being pretty vague/coy about what this "object" is or could be. All we know is it was the size of a small car. Meteor? Another Chinese balloon? ET? Klingons? Elvis? https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/object-shot-down-alaska/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 “The Pentagon on Friday declined to provide a more precise description of the object, only saying that U.S. pilots who flew up to observe it determined it didn’t appear to be manned. Officials said the object was far smaller than last week’s balloon, did not appear to be maneuverable and was traveling at a much lower altitude.” apnews Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderton Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 The news report says it "appeared" to be unmanned, but are Air Force personnel trained to know what aliens look like? I sure hope it didn't have one of those tourists from Alpha Centauri who signed up for the "see primitive lifeforms in their native habitat!" tours. We really don't want to start an intergalactic incident with an advanced civilization. 1 1 Quote Craig Anderton Educational site: http://www.craiganderton.org Music: http://www.youtube.com/thecraiganderton Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/craig_anderton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my belief with their ability to simply disappear in an instant and their ability to monitor communications, they would know the minute an order was given to shoot something down that they would just hyper space out of there. I had heard that there was yet another one over Montana that did not get shot down. What was that and where did it go? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K K Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 It's actually the 5th object in about a week, which is weird. 1) The big balloon shot over NC, 2) a similar balloon gone to Central America (no follow-up on this one), 3) a much smaller one of apparently cylindrical shape shot over Alaska, 4) another unmanned one shot over Yukon yesterday and 5) this last one of apparently octagonal or hexagonal shape (!) over Huron Lake. In all cases, they were flying very slow as if all simply balloon type. We are of course talking about human technology here. Actual "alien" objects have been seen and in some cases even confirmed by authorities before (if in doubt, google Nimitz incident, Ariel school, etc.) but don't worry as their technology is so advanced there is no way they could have been intercepted by F22s or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spokenward Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The German version oddly has less pleather. I think it's cut better too. Funny: from IMDB "The promotional video was shot in a Dutch military training camp, the band performing the song on a stage in front of a backdrop of fires and explosions provided by the Dutch army. Towards the end of the video, the band are seen taking cover and abandoning the stage which was unplanned and genuine since they believed the explosive blasts were getting out of control."

My grandparents came from Germany before WW1 broke out and I love the accent - memories. It's too bad Nena was a one hit wonder but at least there is the one hit.

[Edit from CA - deleted due to mention of political figure] Sorry! I meant to say [REDACTED] when I dropped a name. It probably would have passed muster otherwise. As to odd flying things, I saw a video wherein a guy contacted his immediate neighbors on Facebook during COVID and began using his drone to safely drop rolls of toilet paper into their eager hands. I'd like to think he was invited for BBQ quite a lot after that. Quote "I like that rapper with the bullet in his nose!" "Yeah, Bulletnose!
