Roswell Pt. 2?

“We have no further details about the object at this time, including any description of its capabilities, purpose or origin,” said Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder. “The object was about the size of a small car, so not similar in size or shape to the high-altitude surveillance balloon that was taken down off the coast of South Carolina.”

Protecting airspace is all well and good. But I’m still a little dubious of shooting down something because you can’t identify it. In nominal peacetime, at least. Look how well that turned out for the Soviets.
