    If we keep shooting down unidentified objects at lower and lower

    Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.

    Pretty soon, those Chinese devils will release hundreds, maybe thousands, of those balloons, to flutter across the country, at lower altitudes, giving the dirt pile shooting militia, their chance, to blast a balloon from the sky, and stray bullets
    will rain down, creating a bloodbath in neighborhood streets, from their wake.... Remember! You saw it right here, first! HawHawHaw!

    Well, one of the dirtpilers won't be me - I used up all of my AIM-9's
    on identified figeating possums.
