Among the four unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that shot down the United States recently, it was revealed that three were not reconnaissance balloons, raising the possibility that one of them was a balloon launched by a civilian club.
According to Politico, a US political media outlet, on the 16th (local time), the Northern Illinois Bottle Cap Balloon Foundation (NIBBB), a club in northern Illinois, was the last ‘K9YO’ balloon to be blown up by the this group at 0:48 midnight on the 11th It was found and then it disappeared, he said in a blog post.
On this day, the United States shot down an unidentified flying object with the F-22 Raptor called ‘the world’s most expensive fighter jet’ over Yukon, Canada. The AIM-9X Sidewinder missile used that day costs about 400,000 dollars (about 520 million won) per shot.
According to NIBBB’s side, the balloon they were flying was a hydrogen balloon with a location information system (GPS) device attached. The last location of the GPS-tracked balloon was found near Hagi Meister Island, an uninhabited island in Alaska, USA.
Such a balloon can fly at an altitude of up to 47,000 feet (about 14 km), and the plane shot down by the United States on the 11th was floating at an altitude of 40,000 feet over the Yukon at the time.
“There is no information that NORAD can give us about the object,” said NORAD Air Force Col. Elizabeth Mathias, “I know the FBI has spoken to the group.” However, the FBI did not immediately respond to Politico’s inquiries.
If this theory is true, it would mean that the US Air Force fired missiles worth 500 million won to shoot down club balloons that normally cost 12 dollars (15,000 won).
US President Joe Biden also held a briefing at the White House on the same day (16th) and said, “The three objects are most likely balloons related to private companies, entertainment, research institutions, meteorological research, or other scientific research.”
Previously, the US shot down a UFO believed to be a Chinese reconnaissance balloon off the coast of South Carolina on the 4th, followed by UFOs over Alaska on the 10th, Yukon, Canada on the 11th, and Lake Huron in Michigan on the US. -Canada border on the 12th, all shots down.
The US government’s collection of flying object debris is delayed by issues such as topography and climate. Canada believes that it will be very difficult to recover the wreckage from a blow down over the Yukon due to its icy terrain and remote location.
