Listen To F-16 Pilots Intercept The Octagon Object Over Lake Huron
The War Zone ^ | 02/15/2023 | Thomas Newdick

Posted on 02/15/2023 12:42:26 PM PST by Kevin in California

In the wake of the latest shootdown of an unidentified object over North American airspace, we now have audio recordings of the in-cockpit communications from the two F-16 fighter jets involved in yesterday afternoon’s intercept over Lake Huron. What’s immediately striking on listening to them, is that the pilots in question also seem to be perplexed as to what they are actually observing and the precise nature of the craft that they ultimately dispatched.

The object was “decommissioned” over Lake Huron by a pair of 148th Fighter Wing “Bulldogs” F-16CMs. The fighters launched out of Madison, Wisconsin at around 10:30 A.M. yesterday, after an alert scramble that turned into a live intercept. As well as the Vipers, we know that at least one KC-135 tanker out of Pittsburgh and an E-3 AWACS radar plane from Oklahoma were also involved in the operation. You can read our full analysis of the incident, as it unfolded and of its immediate aftermath, here.

Yes, there are identified and unidentified flying objects which don’t belong over our skies, and many train derailments.

If it was from outer space, which they seem to be insinuating, most likely they wouldn’t have been able to shoot it down. My guess is it’s Chinese.

At least since the election of Diaper Brain, Katie Hobbs, and Fetterbeast.

Should we give “benefit of the doubt”, to the administration, as they won’t tell us what these objects shot down are?

Are they hostile aircraft from other countries, and we want to try to avoid World War III breaking out?

Are they truly unidentified flying objects, which will fuel stories about flying saucers and aliens?

Have they retrieved the wreckage of the object shot down over Lake Huron? Any ideas what this object was? Is it too inflammatory to tell the public? Is the military clueless about the objects? Is the administration afraid to tell us they have no idea what is over our skies, so they want Karine Jean-Pierre to stonewall all of us?

The chicoms aren't complaining about it, so I lean towards us having shot down our own weather balloons, and the brass is too embarrassed to admit it.

The flight paths indicate it was not a simple aim and shoot.

I think it’s our own drone type crafts, designed to be shot down to make Biden look like a hero. Call me a Conspiracy Theorist and that’s fine.

Regardless of whether this administration tells you anything about what they saw or did or discovered, would you actually believe them?????? Even if the spokespersons are sincere, do you trust any agency currently overseen by the Biden regime to be competent, thorough, open, and trustworthy?

Nothing Biden's boys and pseudo-boys say is worth a gallon of warm spit.

All this for a car sized object that appeared to be floating aimlessly.

Air Force base in Madison has been there since before I was born-—and I am 83.

Stolen elections, food processing plants being destroyed, men pretending to be women, doctors mutilating children’s genitals and breasts and poisoning them.
Human sacrifice of unborn babies, millions of illegal aliens being allowed in and put on welfare, as many died of fentanyl overdoses as the number we lost in WWII, biological warfare being waged on the citizens by our own government...

Maybe they are here to liberate us from the evil that is Zhou Xiden. If so, I hope they start shooting down the US planes.

Kind of like Joe Biden's mind. Yet the media and democrat voters don't seem to have a problem with it.
