US Military Blew Up A Boy Scout Balloon With A $500,000 Missile

US Military Blew Up A Boy Scout Balloon With A 0,000 Missile

In 2023, the military, under the direction of the Biden Administration, blew up a Boy Scout’s balloon with a $500,000 missile. At the time, the ruling class feared that Chinese spy balloons were floating above the United States.

Chinese Spy Balloon Used American Technology To Spy

The ruling class was in a rush to eliminate these spy balloons and instead used its access to “intelligence” and technology to take out a Boy Scout’s balloon.

The “spy balloon frenzy” kicked off in early February 2023 when a Chinese high-altitude balloon was shot down off the coast of South Carolina by an F-22 Raptor. Beijing insisted that the craft was civilian, with Beijing’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, calling the shootdown “absurd” and in violation of international norms. -RT

On February 12, 2023, the US Air Force dispatched an F-16 over Lake Huron, near the US-Canada border, to intercept what was believed to be a potential unidentified aerial threat, destroying it with an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile, according to a report by RT.

The episode was confirmed by declassified cockpit footage released last month by the Department of War as part of its second batch of UFO-related records.

“The F-16 shot at a balloon over Lake Huron. After the [Chinese spy] balloon embarrassment, DOD was shooting at every [Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena] they detected”, Tim Phillips, a former interim director of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), told The New York Post.

Media reports have suggested that there have been several other cases in which the US Air Force swept the skies of civilian US-originated aircraft because it assumed the Chinese were involved.

According to Sean Kirkpatrick, the former head of AARO, around the same time, a US fighter pilot reported encountering a UFO with “stealth-like capabilities” and opened fire – but once it was downed, it turned out that he had destroyed a balloon from Walmart, saying “Happy Birthday.”

The Boy Scout’s balloon was almost as embarrassing.  A Boy Scout group had been launched the balloon on an unspecified research project. “The balloon had circumnavigated the globe eight times before we shot it down with a half-million-dollar missile,” Kirkpatrick explained, as cited by the NYP. “You can imagine the response on the Hill when I briefed that.”
