Right after this happened, Fox interviewed US Air Force: Lt. Gen. David Deptula who said ‘high altitude object’ should be a ‘wake up call’ to rebuild our Airforce. He then started a rant stating how our AirForce is so depleted and neglected that it is unable to adequately respond to NORAD requirements, and as he was relishing this fact, he was immediately cut off by Cavuto
who injecting "Thank you General... " , and then he was gone."

He had also said earlier this thing appeared more like the TicTac's we have been witnessing. Is it possible that the thing just disappeared before the missile hit it?
Whatever is going on is scary. We are being #ed with to observe how we respond to airspace events.

We should start sending hundreds of “Brandon❤️’s U”ballon’s over china.

Purpose, origin & size of the latest unidentified object shot down by the U.S. over Canada is unknown, per White House official. It was closely tracked over last 24 hours & Biden was continually briefed. He authorized U.S. fighter aircraft assigned to NORAD to conduct operation.

Readout of President Biden’s Call with Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada
HOME
BRIEFING ROOM
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Earlier today, President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Trudeau on the unidentified, unmanned object in North American air space. The object was closely tracked and monitored by North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) over the last 24 hours and the President has been continually briefed by his national security team since the object was detected. Out of an abundance of caution and at the recommendation of their militaries, President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau authorized it to be taken down. President Biden authorized US fighter aircraft assigned to NORAD to conduct the operation and a US F-22 shot down the object in Canadian territory in close coordination with Canadian authorities. The leaders discussed the importance of recovering the object in order to determine more details on its purpose or origin. President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau commended NORAD’s and U.S. Northern Command’s strong and effective partnership and agreed to continue their close coordination to detect, track, and defend our airspace.

This is getting expensive..
Is Emporer Justine gonna pay for that f-22 run and the missile and pilots paycheck?
Can't help thinking this is more than a balloon threat..
For all we know the alien war has begun.
F-22 fighter jets have now taken out three objects in the airspace above the U.S. and Canada over seven days, a stunning development that is raising questions on just what, exactly, is hovering overhead and who has sent them.
At least one of the objects downed was believed to be a spy balloon from China, but the other two had not yet been publicly identified. While Trudeau described the object Saturday as “unidentified,” a NORAD spokesman, Maj. Olivier Gallant, said the military had determined what it was but would not reveal details.
Trudeau said Canadian forces would recover the wreckage for study. The Yukon is westernmost Canadian territory and the among the least populated part of Canada.
Just about a day earlier, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said an object roughly the size of a small car was shot out of the skies above remote Alaska. Officials couldn’t say if it contained any surveillance equipment, where it came from or what purpose it had.
Kirby said it was shot down because it was flying at about 40,000 feet (13,000 meters) and posed a “reasonable threat” to the safety of civilian flights, not because of any knowledge that it was engaged in surveillance.

FWIW
There has to be a small possibility we are doing this to test ourselves...
Circumstantially these new objects are approximately the same size as the previous tic tac UAPs the Airforce has admitted to encountering. Therefore the US makes numerous faux UAP tic tac balloons and releases them to test our overall capabilities from detection to intercept to engage
