Sure, I can easily believe that aliens capable of interstellar travel lack the tech to protect themselves from our tech.
High altitude object shot down over Lake Huron: report

CNN is citing U.S. Military sources saying that a high-altitude object was shot down over Lake Huron. It comes after the FAA closed the air space over Lake Michigan for "national defense purposes."
It hasn't been revealed whether or not the object was a spy balloon, though at least three have been shut down so far over the past week.
Gen. Wesley Clark told CNN that it's a possible effort by China to see what holes exist in the United States radar system. When the first balloon was flying over the U.S., China's government claimed that it was just a rogue weather balloon. They haven't indicated whether there is an outbreak of these kinds of balloons.
The first balloon shot down did belong to China, the Pentagon said in a report earlier this week. The House passed a toothless bill denouncing the balloon, which China attacked as "political manipulation."
The first balloon was being manipulated the Pentagon said in a briefing.
Mary Schiavo Former inspector General to the U.S. Department of Transportation said that it'd caused a lot of problems for military, civilian and corporate air traffic. She said that she's not concerned about copycats or pranks, so much as she's worried about other countries using airships for similar purposes.
The National Security Council Spokesperson told the press in a statement, "These objects did not closely resemble and were much smaller than the PRC balloon and we will not definitively characterize them until we can recover the debris, which we are working on."
Rep. Jack Bergman (R-MI) told Fox that the object was octagonal in shape and hovering around 20,000 ft.
Would our probes be any better armed/armored?Sure, I can easily believe that aliens capable of interstellar travel lack the tech to protect themselves from our tech.
No, I refuse the Hellyer timeline
It’s a lot more than 4. It’s 4 this week.This CTV interview with a previous Canadian National Security Advisor is enlightening.
Particularly his outburst towards the end.
Notably the interview was after No. 3 and before No. 4.
1 is an outlier
2 is coincidence
3 is a trend
4 is a problem

C17 and C130 'can' land at either but likely RCMP via PC12 or one of 440SQN's Twin Otters will send some Ranger WO's and JTFN HQ staff to meet local Rangers and set up a CP. Possibly a Herc worth of 1CER to jump in and relieve any SAR Techs for site security and to build a CH47 capable LZ in the bush plus a small forward camp.NOTAM up for a 30 nautical mile radius northeast of Dawson City, Yukon. This replaced an earlier, larger restriction so I suspect this reflects the fall of shot.
This will be a tough area to get to and work in. Mayo has a 4500’ runway about 90km from the centre of the restricted area. Dawson City is a bit farther, slightly longer runway (5000’), way more amenities and infrastructure. Both communities are on the highway network. The area of the flight restriction is pretty rugged.
Who even works this? I’m assuming it’s Canada’s problem; I’m guessing CANSOFCOM would be the first fastest option… Who deals with investigating wreckage like this? CAF? Transport Canada? RCMP?
F22 there first by a while. Fairbanks is closer than Cold Lake.Yes, but why the F-22 and not the CF-18?

If you dig a bit, this has been an issue for a while. Trump just seemed to pretend they where not there (like his files maybe…)
In TFG's case, the question is always "how much did who pay him to ignore them?"It’s a lot more than 4. It’s 4 this week.
