And NORAD is tracking another high altitude object over Canada today.  Will there be any repercussions?

How did it get over canada without going over Alaska??

Maybe NORAD didn't pick it up in time.  It was shot down over the Yukon.  Trudeau gave NORAD permission to shoot it down over Canadian territory, and a U.S. F-22 shot it down.  Canadian forces are going to retrieve the wreckage.

With all the satellites around this planet I cannot believe we don't have at least half dozen focused in and around china, especially with all the balloons they've been sending up lately

There may be a fourth balloon over Montana tonight.  Supposedly, there will be confirmation in the morning.  Our aircraft don't have night vision capabilities?

The transition of terms in the controlled media, changing from 'balloon' to 'object' to 'unidentified flying object' is interesting.  What is the goal THEY are going for with these stories?

And another target destroyed over Lake Huron.  Looks like the Chinese or another group are really pushing for WW III.

They could potentially set off an emp over those sensitive areas (military bases) and then where would we be?

So trying to come up with the math, an AIM-9X missile ranges from $472,000 to $600,000 (if internet is accurate), then add the cost of wear and tear on aircraft and pilots, ground crew etc, here is a sure fire way to keep bleeding the military of assets chasing decoys.
I can't imagine that the latest targets cost much to deploy, if we ever find out what they were.

First rule of shooting- KNOW YOUR TARGET

Whoever gave the go-ahead to shoot knows what they were and where they came from

Of course, information warfare is central right now.  If I HAD capabilities to see enemy movements , I'd likely make them think that they're invisible to me , and destroy them at an optimal time for our forces.

Actually it was a $12 balloon, that was pretty closely tracked to where it went missing.  Which was near where a jet shot 2 (yes 2) Sidewinder Missiles ($400K each) at it to make it fall down in a big lake.
