Doubts raised over Japan's ability to shoot down spy balloons: The downing of a suspected Chinese spy balloon by a U.S. fighter jet earlier this month turned the spotlight on similar objects that had been spotted floating above Japan in the past few years. Similar flying objects were spotted floating above the Tohoku region in June 2020 and in September 2021. Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada said at a news conference on Friday that an SDF patrol aircraft had witnessed an unidentified balloon floating above the open seas west of the Kyushu region in January last year. Usually, the SDF asks that a foreign aircraft changes its course in the air defense identification zone outside of Japan's airspace. In fiscal 2021, the SDF scrambled jets 1,004 times, with the majority of such cases dealing with Chinese and Russian military jets and drones. While balloons are also considered aircraft under international law, there have been no scrambles reported by the Japanese government against balloons so far. When a flying object similar to that downed by the United States was spotted in Japan in June 2020, then-Defense Minister Taro Kono said that the object had no impact on national security. While the SDF monitored the object through its radars, it ultimately did not shoot down the object. Maybe the Lord gave permission for satan and the demons to start the strong delusion with the “alien” spacecrafts because the rapture is getting ready to happen soon? Or are these military aircrafts that are being use? II Thess 2:10-11 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: "Patricia N says, Gordon Chang (an expert on all things China) said “A Chinese spy balloon flying over U.S. airspace in Montana signals that the country is preparing its citizens for war…”We know what the Chinese are doing…They’re engaged in the fastest military buildup since the Second World War….and most ominously they’re preparing China’s civilians for war.” “War could come at any time and at any place.” Bring it on!!!! Then that means Jesus is coming!!! "Geri9 says Maybe the Lord gave permission for satan and the demons to start the strong delusion with the “alien” spacecrafts because the rapture is getting ready to happen soon? Or are these military aircrafts that are being use?" :prayer-hands: Oooooo could be! I hope so!!!! :prayer-hands: I hear TV news personalities seriously discussing alien space crafts. Although when the President's press secretary brought it up, the room filled with laughter. Still, some folks are afraid that we are facing true UFOs.
