The routine arrives with confidence.
The U.S. Air Force used over $900,000 worth of missiles to shoot down two balloons, including a Boy Scout research project balloon. The balloons were mistaken for Chinese spy balloons or UFOs. The military’s response was to shoot at every unidentified object detected.
The Air Force used a $500,000 AIM-9 Sidewinder missile to shoot down the Boy Scout balloon, which had circumnavigated the globe eight times. Another balloon was shot down over Alaska using a $400,000 missile, which turned out to be a star-shaped Mylar balloon carrying a “Happy Birthday” message.
