If they are aliens, do you think they found intelligent life on earth? :)

Really depends on where they look. I could tell them where NOT to look though. 😟

Remember last year with pilots reporting sightings of those small high speed objects that could out manuever their planes. What happened to that as you don't hear about it anymore? I don't believe much about what the gov't says.

$400k for a Sidewinder. Kinda spendy when a couple of 20mm or 50 cals would’ve done the job. Too bad that no fighters have low tech weapons anymore. I bet some A-10 drivers would have loved to cut loose on those “objects “.

Actually they do. Both the F-22 and the F-35 carry significant guns.

F-35: Guns: 1 × 25 mm (0.984 in) GAU-22/A 4-barrel rotary cannon, 180 rounds

F-22: Guns: 1× 20 mm M61A2 Vulcan rotary cannon, 480 rounds

There's another option also. Just do a high angle of attack low speed afterburner happy dance over the top of the balloon. Burn a large hole in it.

The last three could have been handled by a Piper Cub and a Ruger 10/22.

Recently spotted in Area 51. Might want to check 6 next time you go to Party City.
