I still don't think their $12 balloon could have gotten 40,000 feet high.

Good point. I really have no idea how high something could go but if what theyvsay is true and they can climb 47k feet and they tracked it for 123 days before it disappeared on Saturday then its plausible that accounts for at least one of the objects.

I`m with Biden on the one, because China can use that spy balloon for as a weapon, but he could have shot  that China spy  balloon down in Alaska.

They pretty much got all of the spy balloon. The other two are so remote and in such a hostile environment in the winter it's smart to stop. Maybe in the spring or summer someone will find it.

Let’s be realistic. They know exactly what they shot down. Whether they tell us public about it or not is another story. 

Agree. The fighter jets would have made visual passes and made recordings before shooting them down

“It was a hobby club” is perhaps the least believable excuse since “it was a weather balloon” in 1945.

I don’t believe for one second that they didn’t find it.
