According to sources, the US military reportedly took out one its weather devices.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can I tell you about the balloons?&#8221; After making fun of Brand&#8217;s stocking cap, Hersh asked Brand. &#8220;The federal government has a contract with the meteorology department, the weather department, at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks\u2014that is one cold place, it&#8217;s way up there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Hersh, he visited Fairbanks&#8217; university campus and said that it is so cold there is no weather station. Hersh describes the university as using small aircraft vehicles to collect weather data. This data is then transmitted back to university officials, who can alert pilots flying above the Arctic Circle about unusual weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are reporters of that information, and that was what was shot down,&#8221; Brand told Hersh &#8220;One of those units\u2026that is sent up by the university but paid by the government to go over the Arctic Circle and report on extreme [weather].&#8221;<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<h2>Little Green Men?<\/h2>\n<p>We don&#8217;t know what the US military actually shot down. Hersh was confident, but expressed doubts that the government would be honest about its mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, there are many theories. <em>The New York Times<\/em> Monday <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/20\/us\/politics\/ufos-alaska-deadhorse.html\">The idea was floated<\/a> Perhaps aliens may have been involved.
