On February 4th 2023 a decision was made to bring down a Chinese weather balloon that had, according to the Chinese authorities, had strayed off course. The incident, as we might imagine, made international news, with the usual rhetoric and flexing of muscles on the global stage taking place in the days that followed.
The incident might have died down somewhat if it hadn’t been for the sudden appearance of several other strange objects over a several-day period, each of which was also shot down by United States fighter jets, but which were seemingly decidedly different from the weather balloon a little over a week previously. All of a sudden, typical headlines such as “US Shoots Down Unknown Object” were being display...

Yes, if man made we would mist likely have been shown them being shot down, but being extra terrestrial, we will never learn the truth
The wreckage of the three objects are said to be unrecoverable. I’m not buying this. Also the recordings of these things being shot down are not being shown to the public. There are a lot of unanswered questions about these UFOs.
These objects are UFO’S, unidentified flying objects. They are not extraterrestrial. They will be found to be man-made.
If they are man made, why isn’t the military using them?
What about the UFOs seen in the 1800s? There is no way these UFO are man made.
Yes share as much as possible, everybody needs to know what’s going on
The fact that these three objects are not balloons, tells me they are drones from another country. If these objects were extraterrestrial, our F 22s could not have shot them down.
