With the assumption that the U.S. and Canada haven’t launched the beginning of Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, there seem to be only two real possibilities — balloons or some form of unmanned aircraft. Officials indicated on Friday that the object shot down over Alaska was not a balloon. However, that object was reportedly flying at around 40,000 feet and was “the size of a small car.” That would seem to put it out of the size and performance range for the large majority of private drones. However, at one point on Friday, an Air Force spokesperson stated that there was no reason to believe the device had come “from a nation,” which might suggest suspicions that it was either a commercial or research device of some sort.

Canadian officials did not make any statement about whether or not the object shot down on Saturday might have been a balloon. Whatever it was, its appearance in Canadian airspace generated a scrambling of planes from both Canada and the United States after it was detected by NORAD.

Both of these shoot-downs come in the immediate aftermath of another F-22 shooting down a large balloon off the coast of South Carolina after that balloon drifted across much of the United States. That highly publicized incident has certainly raised concerns about objects such as weather balloons that routinely drift across national boundaries. Portions of that balloon and its attached instrumentations have been recovered from the ocean.

Efforts to track possible candidates from the Friday incident have led to suggestions that it might have been a weather balloon. One such balloon apparently lost contact in that area. However, this doesn’t seem to fit with Air Force statements that seemed to rule out a balloon.

The most immediate concern for either the object on Friday or the one shot down over Canada on Stauray might be an unmanned aircraft launched from Russia. That would certainly justify the urgent response.

Still, feel free to speculate. Because the Air Force has legitimately shot down two UFOs in as many days.
