NEW: Biden Admin shot down Boy Scout balloon with $500,000 missile
The Biden administration obliterated a boy scout balloon with a $500,000 missile in the wake of their bungled response to the Chinese Spy balloon incident, The Post can reveal.
The US Air Force dispatched an F-16 on Feb. 12, 2023 to confront the apparent “invading” orb over Lake Huron, blowing it to smithereens with what was likely an AIM-9 Sidewinder missile, according to video released last month by the Department of War as part of its second batch of UFO files.
The 45-second clip shows a black “orb” with a dangling string in the fighter jet’s crosshairs for just a few seconds before it is blown apart.
“The F16 shot at a balloon over Lake Huron. After the [Chinese spy] balloon embarrassment, DOD was shooting at every [Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena] they detected,” Tim Phillips, a former interim director of AARO, told The Post.
The object belonged to a Boy Scout troop, according to Sean Kirkpatrick, a former head of the federal All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO.
