A group of balloon hobbyists are saying that one of their balloons went missing after the US military said they went crazy looking for and shooting down UFOs.

RT:

A group of hobbyists in Illinois fears that one of its small “pico” balloons may have been shot down by an American fighter jet thousands of feet over Canada, possibly mistaken as a hostile aircraft after a Chinese high-altitude balloon entered US airspace without permission last month.

With US officials still unable to confirm what was shot down on February 11, members of the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade (NIBBB) have offered a possible explanation. Tracking data shared by the group shows that one of its small mylar balloons went “missing in action” in Canada’s Yukon region on Saturday, matching the description, altitude and location of the unidentified object shot down by a US F-22 the same day.

The NIBBB and similar hobby groups build what are known as pico balloons, sending the devices high into the atmosphere and tracking them as they circumnavigate the globe. The balloons typically cost no more than $200 to construct – with some running as cheap as $12 – and are often less than one meter in diameter.

So is it possible the US military used expensive missiles to shoot down a cheap hobbyist balloon contraption?

I don’t know if this happened or not, but would it shock you if it did?

Everybody has gone full retard so you should not be shocked when retarded things happen. It is just the norm.

Regardless of what actually happened, this whole balloon/UFO thing has been such a dumb an overblown hoax. I mean, people were literally talking about aliens when all this UFO hysteria started hitting the media.
