An "object" flying over Alaska at 40,000ft has been shot down by USAF.

Let the speculation begin!

I'm going with a UFO 🤣

Much as I'd like to go with the traditional UFO theory, I've spent my life listening to my dad who was helped design a few of the biggest telescopes on the planet (and off it) and has been an avid astronomer for most of his 85 years on earth. Aliens probably exist but the chance of us meeting them is 0.0000000000000.........00000000000001 of a percent.

However if they do turn up he also said the chances of the US shooting them down is pretty high...

Trump got to shoot over loads of things, but then had to pay to keep it quiet

isn't that the essence of the fermi paradox given the age of the universe and the number of stars, the chance should be 100%

I'm betting it's more a family car, I'm going with a Ford Cortina, but the sporty version with the pinto engine.

There is a 100% chance that extraterrestrial life started their journey millions of light years ago and will eventually arrive on Earth to meet us?

How can you be sure?

Sausage shaped, no means of propulsion, definitely Aliens.

Don't know why they'd start off in Alaska when Swindon would have been more fun.
