No matter the origin, this one is already better than the Chinese balloon story. #ufotwitter #uaptwitter
2 "ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz first reported that when fighters were scrambled, the pilots did visuals, got images and said there was no sign the object had propulsion."
3 "Asked if was 'balloon-like,' the official said, 'All I say is that it wasn't 'flying' with any sort of propulsion, so if that is 'balloon-like' well -- we just don't have enough at this point.'"
4 "'We don't know who owns this object,' he said. The object came to U.S. attention Thursday evening, Kirby said.

'It did not appear to have maneuverability capability, he said. 'It was virtually at the whim of the wind.'"
5 ""We were able to get some fighter aircraft up and around it before the order to shoot it down. And the pilots' assessment was that this was not manned."
6 "Fighter aircraft first saw it late last night, it was a small object, and they were flying at high speed, he said. They did another flight "early this morning" to try to learn more. The flight early this morning 'ended in a shootdown,' Kirby said."
7 "Biden gave order to shoot it down Friday morning. Hew said the 'predominant' reason Biden ordered it shot down was the 'safety' of flights traveling at that altitude. And the fact that it was at the mercy of prevailing winds made its flight path less predictable.
8 "'And the president just wasn't able to take that risk.'

"'We do expect to be able to recover the debris since it fell not only within our territorial space, but on what we what we believe is frozen water,' Kirby said. 'So. a recovery effort will be made, and we're hopeful
9 "'that it will be successful and then we can learn a little bit more about it.'

"At the Pentagon, Brig Gen. Patrick Ryder said the object was detected by ground radar. He said it was shot down at 1:45 p.m. ET.
10 "Recovery resources are moving to the site, according to Ryder, including an HC-130, which is the search-and-rescue version of the C-130 plane, HH-60 and CH-47 aircraft."

1 From @helenecooper in today's NYT. A new report is due to Congress on Monday? #ufotwitter #uaptwitter

"There were multiple theories abounding in Washington as to the provenance of the objects, but several Biden administration officials cautioned that much remained unknown
2 "about the last two objects shot down. The United States has long monitored U.F.O.s that enter American airspace, and officials believe that surveillance operations by foreign powers, weather balloons or other airborne clutter may explain most recent incidents of
3 "unidentified aerial phenomena — government-speak for U.F.O.s — as well as many episodes in past years.

"However, nearly all of the incidents remain officially unexplained, according to a report made public in 2021.

1 #ufotwitter - Interview w/@jaystratton by @g_knapp, during the @ExploreSCU conference in Huntsville, Alabama last June. It was shot by @JeremyCorbell & first aired on @WeaponizedPod Episode 3.

Knapp: Huntsville (no longer Vegas) has become the de facto #UFO capital of America
2 Knapp had hoped he would land an interview w/Jay Stratton, somebody he has known for a very long time & a name he couldn't mention publicly. Until now. And Stratton loves the Mexican restaurant, Lindo Michoacan (Great place w/fantastic chimichangas fried ice cream!) in Vegas.
3 Stratton (known as Axelrod in Skinwalkers at the Pentagon) has been there from AAWSAP to AATIP, to the UAPTF and AARO.

Knapp learned Stratton and @travisstaylor1 would be in the audience at the SCU conference. They both work at @radiancetechinc and in the RT press release,

1 #ufotwitter Easily my favorite anecdote thus far, from FS-V5. If you’ve been following along (or u read SATP), you know about Lacatski, Skinwalker, 'Tubular Bells' & AAWSAP. This adds to the "fun."

Hummingbird. Wednesday 24 December 2008.

"A very strange coincidence occurred
2 FSV5: "this afternoon as Bob Bigelow & Colm Kelleher called me about the second project (on AAWSAP ~Joe) we've agreed I would do. They caught me at the wheel of the Highlander, as I had just parked it in Berkeley.

"I was with Janine who had gone into a used bookstore to sell
3 FSV5: "her brother's old vinyl records. Helping her carry the heavy boxes, one record on top of a pile caught my eye. It was Mike Oldfield's ‘Tubular Bells,’ with the now-famous ‘pretzel’ symbol on the cover, resembling the object that had appeared to Dr. Lacatski on his first
