I see a lot of people (on the webs) chastising state .gov for not intercepting and shooting it down….

Serious question, do states have that ability? Is there a state vs federal airspace that gives power to the governor to intercept/eliminate a device at 60,000’ without Federal “permission”?


There are air national guard units.

That doesn’t answer my question. Maybe the physical ability, yes. But the legal authority?


They have missiles. They ARE the authority. :bigsmile:

Sometimes I think y'all aren't reading my posts. (see previous page)

EDIT: It is interesting that ABC refers to South America as "Latin America". I always thought that moniker to apply largely, or mostly to Central America. Are folks of Portugee/Brazilian descent, "latin"?

Yes Portuguese is considered a language that came from Latin. Basically anything South of the United States is Latin America.

Yeah, a missile to take out a balloon. A couple of 7.62 or .50 (what's the smallest thing an F-fighter carries?) would have probably done it?
