Shooting down “objects”

Of the four “object” shoot downs, two went into the water and two went down above the Arctic Circle.  The Navy is still trying to salvage the big one shot down off South Carolina in only 47 feet of water.  I doubt they will ever salvage the one shot down into Lake Huron.   The winter weather around the two Arctic Circle shoot downs is so bad we may never find the wrecks.

Translation:  If we want to know more about these “objects” we gotta shoot them down over land, places with reasonable weather.  So far from four shoot downs we know zip.

A piece on the Internet claims the Sidewinder missile that missed one shot cost $439,000, nearly half a million, for an air-to-air missile.  Gold plate much? The first sidewinders came into service during the Korean War and only cost $10,000 apiece.
