FAA HAS CLOSED THE AIRSPACE AROUND NW MICHIGAN, CITING NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Shot down over Lake Huron. Weird stuf, we laugh, we speculate, most likely nothing that's an imminent threat BUT, we hadn't shot down anything over US territory since WWII and now 4 in 8 days. Something is amiss here
I have an issue with this IF it's a policy shift. These balloons were carrying payloads, some leaders got some serious explaining to do if air vehicles/ships/balloons/objects have been carrying payloads over us for some time and did nothing. Majority of Americans don't trust Gov't as it is, this don't help

I’m going to light some Chinese lanterns tonight. That shouldn’t be a problem should it

Exactly. Someone needs to be telling the American public SOMETHING. Also note that we had clear images for a full week of the first one. We haven't seen the same with these others as the have been quick to take them out.

The way they are just saying all of this so casually is what concerns me. "He we shot another object down today. 3rd in two days. Fourth one in a week" "No big deal carry on" We need to know where they are coming from and why we are seeing so many.

I mean we are weather people if there was an object over Montana last night it could of easily drifted to Michigan based on the upper winds below. This says balloon. So is the plausible solution that China is just launching balloons into civilian airspace regularly now? A plane hits one we are at war, would they really risk that? And then why all the BS "octagonal", "cylindrical" shaped object stuff?. It's like how you would describe a balloon to a 10 year old. We are being told what they want us to know.
And all along I've been concerned we'd get ourselves into a hot war with Russia. Now we're shooting down tic tacs and risking interstellar war. Didn't have that one on my bingo card.

Been telling yall.for the last year
"We're calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason, said VanHerck, who is head of the joint U.S.-Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the U.S. Air Force Northern Command.
