There appears to be a new temporary flight restriction set up over northern Alaska with very similar wording to the recent balloon shootdown off the Carolinas. This would not be too dissimilar from the track of the last balloon, although it's a few hundred miles further east this time. The flight restriction appeared this morning, the 10th of February. It could be for something else, or maybe not? Apologies if dupe.

We should send a few of our own over China.
Nuclear barrage balloons. |
|
|
Apparently it was way smaller with no payload.
Actual weather balloon? |
|
Kirby said they just shot it down over Alaska waters in the last hour. It's about f'n time.
I guess that on-the-job training Biden is getting is yielding SOMETHING. |
|
Probably launched by Team Xiden just so it could be shot down.
|
|
I mean, I was thinking "what if the Chinese let fly hundreds of balloons, with only a handful carrying a WMD payload?"

Off the coast of the north slope....in February...there is ice right? If its on the ice , we may have a station there, we can send a nuke sub to recover it. I actually own a copy of that documentary. |

Have that chick on Life Below Zero recover it. She's close to there isn't she?

Quoted: Was it just another "Weather Balloon" that got blown off course? I'm sure Biden is out there saying he hopped in the jet and shot it down himself. View Quote No, Beau shot it down. Right before he was killed in combat. China laughs it ass off, sends up a $100 balloon, US shots it with an expensive missile. |

So Kirby says US fighter jets took a look and determined it was not a manned vehicle and downed it because it was at a lower altitude and posed a threat to air traffic.
If jets were that close how are they still claiming they do not know what it is. Supposedly downed on frozen water aka ice so they should be able to recover quickly. |
|
A c130 has been circling there for a few hours, may have refueled at deadhorse and went back up.

If it belongs to the Chinese it’s time to start sinking their fishing fleets that violate countries territorial waters.

Quoted: UFO down on the ice. If the recovery team takes sled dogs along we're fucked. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/312702/download__1__png-2705681.JPG View Quote Ummm, snow machines have been used for the last 60-70 years for transportation in northern Alaska. |
