Biden says three recently downed aerial objects were not linked to Chinese spy program

The remarks put to rest mounting pressure from Congress to tell the public about what these three balloons were, and whether they posed an ongoing threat.

It turns out the balloons weren’t spy balloons after all. WHAT?? Who could’ve ever predicted this?

But of course, the first one still was. That makes sense. /s

      Is there another one? because I know they used an f22 raptor and a air to air missile to shoot the first one down and that cost has to be in the millions of dollars.

          Oh yeah, the air to air missile itself is like $400k, and flying that jet is incredibly expensive. I think the maintenance hours exceed the flight hours or is that the f35. Regardless, it is a lot of meals for the homeless.
