I hope Will Smith, Ben Affleck, and Randy Quaid are on standby

FoxNews is reporting that we definitely shot down the object over Lake Michigan. Not reading through the entire thread, has that been known or am I just behind?

Also, per CNN...

The object was “octagonal” with strings hanging off and no discernable payload, according to the official and another source briefed on the matter. While the US has no indication that the object had surveillance capabilities, that has not been ruled out yet.

If not is not the Chinese or the even the Russians we need to be on the phone with both asap because if it is coming from “someplace” else we need to be on that shot and make sure we are all on the same page.

I'm sure Biden is on top of things. Rest easy, he's got this.

OP needs to update the thread title to reflect that the object was shot down by the US military.

Biden is probably down for Sunday night. it's 6pm on the east coast

They finally decided to start shooting down these objects that have been harassing fighter jets in training areas for years.

Personally I won’t be at all surprised if it isn’t the Chinese with the latest few but turns out to be Kim Jung-Un.

We scrambled fighters and fired a sidewinder missile at a parade float
What are the odds that this one is some idiot that purchased a weather balloon off Amazon to see if he could get it shot down by a fighter? We've all thought about it at this point, and with 330 million Americans out there I'm sure at least one of us has been dumb enough to go through with it

That one has been deleted now, but it was also thoroughly debunked in the comments if it's the one I'm thinking.
It was a video someone captured of a small birthday balloon, and it wasn't even over Lake Michigan or Huron.

It was Lake Michigan per the comments because of some landmarks from Chicago seen in the video
Weird because I can still see the video

You can buy a "weather balloon" capable of going 90,000 ft for $120 on amazon.
All you need is someone with multiple helium tanks.

Once whatever this is that was shot down hits the ground will be shown what it is? Who it belongs to?
