The United States Pentagon has admitted that we have shot down a UFO, folks

Come on, join us. We have a lot of fun in there, but this is serious business
0:33
We are quite a ways away from when a high altitude object
0:38
That's how the Pentagon is describing it. Was shot down over the course of over Alaska
0:43
And there's a lot of anomalies, a lot of strange things about this object
0:47
And I'm not I don't know what it is. I know what I want it to be right
0:51
I'm a UFO nut. I enjoy that kind of thing. But, you know, you always get your hopes up and then, you know
0:59
it's a weather balloon, right? Here's the thing, though. There's a lot of differences between this particular object
1:05
and the object that was shot down just a few days ago over the East Coast
1:13
Now, that Chinese weather balloon, they said it was a weather balloon. We say it was a spy balloon was the size of three school buses
1:21
and had tens of thousands of pounds of equipment on it. Very big object flying at about 60,000 feet
1:28
This object was the size of a small car flying at about 40,000 feet
1:33
But here's where things get weird. The Pentagon still will not say what it was, only to say
1:39
that it was an unidentified flying object flying at high altitude. They still have not identified it
1:45
It's been a long time since this object has been shot down. Here's where things get really weird
1:52
They said the object had no visible means of propulsion, so there was no propulsion system on it, no motor, no jet engine
2:00
no means to to guide it or anything like that. They also say that this object was
2:08
Well, they say it was kind of cigar shaped, cylindrical. Very, very weird and consistent with UFO sightings
2:17
that have happened in the past, but most importantly, they said there was no surveillance equipment on this, whatever it was
2:26
So if it was a Chinese balloon, let's say, for example, there'd be no point
2:30
to sending it over here with no surveillance equipment, with no actual job to do
2:36
This is something different. This is something weird. And they might come out tomorrow and say it's a balloon
2:42
but they also said it was a balloon in Roswell in the 1940s. And I don't know how many people believe that story
2:48
So we'll stick with whatever the official story is, because that's what we have to do
2:53
But I don't know what it's going to be. I tell you what, though, just to keep calling it a high altitude object
2:58
Canada's calling it a high altitude object. Nobody's saying the word balloon
3:03
And it's been a long time. And I got to think if it was a balloon, we would have known by now
3:09
But hopefully we'll find out more over the weekend. But right now it is unidentified
3:14
It was flying and it is an object. That's all the criteria for a UFO
3:20
So let's let's look to the skies. Maybe E.T.'s trying to phone home
3:24
Who knows? But this could be a nothing burger or it could be the biggest story in human history
3:31
We don't know. We don't know yet. But it's cool to imagine what it could be
3:35
And let's hope we find out more this weekend. In the meantime, again, remember to like, comment, share and subscribe

We love you guys. God bless you. Take care, everybody
