Object Shot Down

I never served in the military, so I have a question for those of you who are more in the know. Is our Air Force in the habit of shooting down “objects” that are unidentified with no known country of origin? I haven’t heard anyone in the news questioning the narrative. This story is not passing my personal smell test.

They probably were tracking long before we heard anything. It would surprise me if some of what we heard was slightly embellished by the MSM with dot govs approval. I noticed they didn't hem and haw on balloon (?) number two.

Unfortunately, this topic isn't related to firearms so it isn't appropriate for The Firing Line. I'm certain there are other sites where this discussion fits.
