      1. The twin Otter is a great aircraft that I’ve flown in hundreds of times. I wouldn’t fly in one maintained by our government though.

  1. I remember when flying saucers were a thing.

    In 1952, ‘Flying Saucers’ Over Washington Sent the Press Into a Frenzy

    If 1952 marked the year that UFO fever spread across Cold War America, events in late July of that year spiked that mania to critical levels. That’s when the grandfather of all “saucer” sightings took place in the skies above the nation’s capital, causing a coast-to-coast collective jaw drop.

    Over several weeks, up to a dozen unexplained objects repeatedly streaked across the skies over Washington, D.C.—spotted not just by crackpots, but by radar operators, professional pilots and other highly credible witnesses. The Air Force scrambled fighter jets, but the ‘saucers’ outran them. Around the U.S., sci-fi-like headlines blared, rumors flew and sightings soared.

    We were going to see little green men from Mars real soon.

    1. There is a bit about an outbreak of flying saucers over Scandinavia just post WW2 in R.V. Jones “Most Secret War”, including a sampling of materials supposedly from one. Including a supposedly unknown material.

      The material was a lump of coke and the boffins had neglected to analyse for carbon

  2. Is one of these balloons gonna have a nasty payload of some sort? Bunch of pangolins or something?

    The long stretch of relative peace north america enjoyed over the last 75+ years is on somewhat tenuous ground I fear. Turns out electing weak, incompetent/corrupt leaders may have dire consequences.

    We gonna keep doing business with these guys? Probably

  3. And I thought the no see ums were bad up on the tundra.
    Now our Dear Leaders,the ones with delusions of adequacy and an insane lust for power,are shooting down unseen and unidentified objects..
    You would not want to go hunting with such idiots.
    So when Justine the Petulant and Cracked Out Joe both “See” flying objects,that no one seems able to produce photographs of..Do you believe them?
    Way back I recall “seeing such things” but I knew I was on drugs.

  4. An imbecile calling a senile old man to get permission or to set up a mutual phot-op? Why not just let NORAD do its job instead of posturing? It’s a good thing this object wasn’t supersonic.
    When Trudeau gets in front of a camera and microphone about this it should be gag inducing.

  5. It’s another BS. So last week they didn’t see a thing although it was 36 ft wide and full of all kind of surveillance shit. And now they’re all twitchy?
    BS.

  6. The Chinese are goading us with fake tic-tacs, we’re gonna shoot down a real one and start an intergalactic war.

    … “four white lights and flashing red light hovered approximately 200 yds above”

    US Navy reports underscore the fact that drone encounters have become commonplace, by adversaries, to spy/surveil/harass American forces and US is playing catch-up regarding counter-capabilities/tactics/techniques/procedures/responses.

    What’s also interesting is no countermeasures were employed.
    (just like that “Chinese” balloon)

  8. Could also be a marketing project for a new iPhone or IPad. They slipped hunter biden $500 and a bag of meth to get his dad to go along with it. One of these ufos will land during the half time show and Steve Jobs and Michael Jackson will moon walk out onto the field.

    Made a $10 bet on it with my bookie. If it happens, I’ll be quite well off. Ha
