The US says the UFOs are unlikely to be Chinese, which makes you wonder more than not.
I have absolutely no idea what is going on but would really like to have an idea at least.

If they actually are weather balloons they could even be their own. I’m not sure what the lifespan of those things are but I could imagine that they would hang around for a few weeks until they went pop.

Yeah, I just read the statements (posted above) about “does not look like a balloon” and “size of a small car and rectangular in shape” and “this one is different and octagonal in shape accelerates strangely” and “pilot on the plane thought it was not manned”.

I mean, I am not your average UFO guy, lol, but I have questions!!! :rofl:

Also, “we do not currently understand it’s propulsion system” is a winner from 2 days ago.
So yeah, would like to know more because it is an oddity indeed.
Let us assume it’s from earth (because let’s face it, Alien Invasion would be a real downer), what private company has this stuff ? And if it’s not a private company and it’s not American or Chinese, who has this stuff and flies it over America ?

Just very strange…

Where I lived in Scotland was near a place called Bonnybridge which had a spate of UFO sightings in the 1990s.

I think some of this was wanton publicity generation by our local councillor, Billy Buchanan, who was actually a decent guy - keen local historian and so on. However, what did emerge is that there was quite a bit of military testing going on at the time. I think people like to see what they want to see.

Yeah, I am just extremely confused by the various statements from US officials concering the objects and what they know and do not know. many questions.
Would love for it to be some sort of enthusiastic hobbyist though, but really, that guy or gal should maybe come forward by now if he or she knows what is good for him or her. If you have brains for this operation then you also should have brains enough to understand that the eyes of Argus will find you after this, lol.

Was a good tune back in the day actually. I am too young for it really and I like rock but it’s quite okay for what it is :smiley:

One of the defining tunes of early 80s nuclear apocalypse pop of which there was frankly tons!

Well, they do have history of let’s say hitting the wrong target

Fair, but extremely odd if so given that they have no clue what they are and do not recognice them (or even understand what they are).

There a big story about a UFO sighting in my primary school when I was a kid that then led to a spate of them. It was covered repeatedly on BBC Wales and came to be known as the Dyfed Triangle. There were even books written about it. There was an RAF base near by the terribly sensible locals all just assumed it was down to that.

The first sighting turned out to actually be a milk float and so fuck knows what the rest of the signings thought they’d seen

Why is it that most UFOs are seen only by Americans? America is so fucked that they managed to piss off civilization even millions of miles away.

Seems like these things are just ‘sky trash’ and may not even be of Chinese origin, apart from the first one which apparently is a Chinese ‘spy balloon’. The things that the U.S. is shooting down may even be of American origin.

How do you miss a balloon? Isn’t it just about the easiest thing ever to shoot down?

Its easy now to blame everything on the Chinese now that the first one was admitted by the Chinese. Next we will get sighting reports of aliens that have ‘chinese’ features.

Sounds like a hangover from the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Why shoot them down…
For all we know, they have come in peace :0)

See if you can swat a fly with your hand while driving on the motorway at 70MPH.

I’m pretty sure this has something to do with the gender recognition row. She really dropped a bollock there , and now she’s kissing goodbye to the thing that mattered most to her , i.e. Independence. Pretty sad actually.
