So this is an older video, but the DOD has since said they did not recover anything from the shootdown in Alaska. They confirmed they had recovered it here.

    This whole balloon saga was so dumb on their part but it doesn’t matter cause the average person has already forgotten about it entirely.

    First we have a Chinese spy balloon. It’s legit and we shoot it down and have photos of it and it’s retrieval.

    Then we shoot down 3 or 4 more “unidentified objects”.

    Then we launch a recovery mission on them but they say they didn’t find anything.

    No photos or video or anything is ever released on those objects.

    Then another Chinese spy balloon happens and (correct me if I’m wrong) we get images and recovery again for that one.

    Three or four of things things are not like the others two.

    Their story changed every day until it was finally BlOoNs again.
