So this is an older video, but the DOD has since said they did not recover anything from the shootdown in Alaska. They confirmed they had recovered it here.

      It was, they’ve tried to say that they adjusted their sensors to slower moving objects at different heights and that’s why they realized the objects were there.

      I call bullshit, there’s no way the National Reconnaissance Office, NRO, didn’t know they were in our skies.

      It’s something else entirely, it’s been hinted at by a few of the recent UFO insiders that it seems the U.S. government is concerned at the rate of reverse engineering happening by enemy nations. Perhaps due to pressure to make a break through we decided to take out a couple craft to try to speed up the process.

      There’s a lot of possibilities, though the one thing I know is true, they lied about the other 3 shootdowns.

        One of the objects was highly suspected of being an open source high altitude balloon project which went missing at the time of the shootdown after it had circled the earth a few times already. It was solar powered and checked in at regular intervals and stopped after the shootdown. It was meant to be in the location of one shootdown, so they are sure it was that.
        It’s embarrassing for the government to say they shot down a science experiment so they say nothing.
