They removed filters from their radar data. Now these things are showing up. Expect to find private entities being a lot more careful if filling flight plans.

This latest one looks like it dropped its payload before being shot down

Weren't said filters removed in response to overlooking the large balloon from China earlier this month?

The UFO distraction goes back to at least 2021 when the US military formally admitted that there have been observed objects in the sky that they cannot account for.

they do a fly by before they shoot these objects down, so they know that they're not shooting downed manned objects

I saw this filter claim earlier today. What is the source on this?
