A flying car - the world has gone mad

An airborne object the size of a small car posed the latest threat to America's national security. The breaking news last night that Biden had ordered the second shootdown in his two years in office both within a week of each other provided further proof that the world is going mad. What on earth this flying object was we have yet to be told. But at 40,000ft and moving along quite smoothly and not that fast - so not a hypersonic alien spaceship - it was unmanned and appeared not to be engaged in surveillance while travelling over Alaska. But it was in the way of commercial aircraft, so Biden, prompted by the Pentagon, ordered it to be shot down. What is so ironic is that the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor, one of their most advanced stealth fighters capable of flyng higher than any other American fighter jet, had never previously fired a shot in anger, until that Chinese balloon and now the unidentified flying car turned up in US air space. The pilots must have been really chuffed. At last they get to launch a missile and actually see it work very nicely. F-22 pilots will be queuing up to shoot down the next thing that dares to venture across US territory. I loved the statements put out last night. Clearly neither the super-capable Pentagon nr the whole of the Biden national security team were able to say or even guess what the small object was or where it came from and what its purpose was. So all they could come up with was that it was roughly the size of a small car. A flying Mini Cooper perhaps, or a Fiat 500?
