You might have seen the F-22 Raptor that buzzed your neighbor’s house last night. At the time, few in the neighborhood realized how close they were to total annihilation.
It was only this morning that the White House held a press conference to explain the incident.
The spokesperson announced that the recently enhanced sensitivity of our nation’s radar systems had identified a suspicious balloon floating above your neighbor’s house. Fighter jets were scrambled to deal with this threat to national sovereignty.
Luckily the pilot noticed that the balloon had an Philadelphia Eagle’s logo. Being originally from Philadelphia, the pilot aborted his missile run and flew back to base.
Whew, that was close. At least we can take comfort knowing that our country’s leadership is ever vigilant and dedicated to keeping us safe.
Our tax dollars at work.
