Um… 20,000 feet is not “high altitude.”
Another high-altitude object was shot down Sunday afternoon, this one over Lake Huron in Michigan, three U.S. officials confirmed to ABC News, marking the latest in a string of such incidents.
The object was shot down by a U.S. military aircraft, according to one of the officials.
A senior administration official said President Joe Biden directed that the object be shot down “out of an abundance of caution and at the recommendation of military leaders.”
This official said the object shot down was detected on radar over Montana on Saturday and was seen again on radar over Wisconsin and Michigan on Sunday.
The object was octagonal in structure, unmanned and traveling at about 20,000 feet, the official said. There is no indication of surveillance capabilities, but the administration cannot rule that out.
Nice. Shooting down shiny balloons takes any focus off of Hersch’s reporting on Biden blowing up Russian pipelines.
The airplane was from Truex out of Madison.
And they missed their first shot.
Wonder what the first shot hit.
One very surprised goose.
