We have three different articles the first two floating the idea that China may be blamed for UAPs, and the third illustrating the possible dangers posed to air traffic.

Starting off are articles from the Daily Mail and The Mirror, both UK publications. Both are dated 8/27/23. The articles are nearly identical and outline concerns from Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen Nasa Administrator who is not ready to rule out the fact that the UAP may be of man-made origin, possibly Chinese. The articles go on to pose the balloon from February 2023 is one example of Chinese technology violating our air space. On a tangent I want to bring up that there were possibly several balloons, but not all of the UAPs we shot down were actually labeled balloons, and to my knowledge the wreckage is still out there in the wilderness.

Moving on to the third article from the Debrief dated 8/29/23  and entitled Pilot UFO Sightings Collected by NASA Reveal Serious Safety Concerns Over Objects in U.S. Airspace.

The Debrief recounts several reports made to NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System. The first was from April 2023 where the object had both visual and radar contact in a Class A airspace, and the object was not transposing, which in that class of airspace is illegal. Another in February 2023 was observed by multiple planes. A third from May 2022 caused the pilot to take evasive action to avoid a collision, and even though he came close enough to have a decent look he was unable to identify the object.

So what can we take away? These objects, whatever they are, do seem to pose an active threat to air traffic, and that they are seemingly common. Is it balloons, UAVs, or advanced technology from a hostile nation, we do not know.
