The only problem is that the plane was not shot down. I wonder what the rules of engagement (ROE) were. If I were C-in-C my standing order would that any aircraft entering US airspace without a flight plan and failing to answer the radio within three minutes would be summarily shot down.
We don’t seem to understand that these people aim to convert, enslave and/or kill us to extinction. I don’t know what part of that people don’t understand.
I hope they locate his girlfriend, go through his computers, etc.. We may never learn the truth as the press moves on to other subjects. I’m still following the story about the ME students who had the explosives in their car near the base last year.

While this guy was possibly probing, possibly even to see if or how long before getting shot down - it would make sense that he wrote his girlfriend a goodbye letter. He is probably even shocked that he made it out alive.
But, you are right - it is concerning that they now know that are able to fly.
