They've avoided the term 'unidentified flying object' for some time now.
They use UAP - Unidentified Arial Phenomenon

I can't really imagine Biden making a war announcement
Surely VP Harris would take over?

Have you considered that the President is an alien?

No, no I hadn’t. Where do I hide? I live in a flat.

Embelline · 13/02/2023 00:28

@EmmaEmerald what war announcement would that be?

Embelline · 13/02/2023 00:09

@PToosher people keep saying we are being prepared for something big but nobody can say what when they suggest this!

@EmmaEmerald really?! ALL flights?

Well, it's not safe to say much here unless you're speculating about a lost soul...

All flights - well, if you add up concerns about American, Russian and Chinese airspace you're not left with a huge amount of airspace - some, yes.

Teaandtoast3 · 13/02/2023 00:31

Well they aren’t saying much are they?

EmmaEmerald · 13/02/2023 00:31

To be clear, I'm not endorsing those other threads.

I got bored listening and your username spoke to me.

Embelline · 13/02/2023 00:34

@EmmaEmerald Rhis is what I mean though, it’s easy for posters to behave as though they have some kind of superior knowledge when they never have to back it up by stating what it is!

I didn’t realise Russia had also shot objects down this week, I heard there was something over China.

Yeah I’ve given up now too…. But I went for ice gems and a cuppa instead lol

ReedRite · 13/02/2023 00:36

It’s Harry and Ron!!

Winnet · 13/02/2023 00:37

What they're not saying says everything.

They don't know what they're dealing with.

Embelline · 13/02/2023 00:37

@Teaandtoast3 iced gems!! I haven’t had those for years

JaneJeffer · 13/02/2023 00:38

Everyone is making me hungry

Embelline · 13/02/2023 00:38

@Winnet im not sure why they’ve given a big press briefing rather than just making a statement. Seems odd as it’s making it into something bigger (in public perception) this way.

DaisyDoo09 · 13/02/2023 00:39

so they have shot them down but they can’t find any of then .

Teaandtoast3 · 13/02/2023 00:40

Then I’d say you are overdue some @Embelline lol

I’m laughing at the thought of it being Harry and Ron very much @ReedRite 😂

and yes what they aren’t saying does speak
volumes. They aren’t saying anything because they don’t know anything. All they seem to know is that the first one was a Chinese balloon… the others? Who bloody knows

I have an uneasy feeling something big is coming.
I'd love it to be life from another planet. It's exciting but nerve racking at the same time.

Teaandtoast3 · 13/02/2023 00:41

Personally I’d love a flying car. So I'm hoping that it’s a prototype 😂

It's making me feel like the early days of Covid when it seemed like something big was happening.

JaneJeffer · 13/02/2023 00:41

Bet they're sorry they tweaked the radar now. Out of sight out of mind.

Teaandtoast3 · 13/02/2023 00:42

Better eat now @JaneJeffer… eat loads just in case it’s the end of the world 😉 lol

Bunnyfuller · 13/02/2023 00:42

Well, that pentagon thing is a load of scripted waffle. Unknown objects with some form of propulsion. How fast were they going?
