If this were true, it would be the first time the US Air Force ever shot down a civilian aircraft in US Air Space. This is not something that could be covered up. These aircraft would have been tracked by civilian FAA systems as well not just military. Plus, you would have had so many military folks involved someone would have leaked it. This type of incident could not have stayed under wraps.

It also seems reasonable to expect follow-up information to add corroboration from more than only "one voice" carrying this compelling story with maximum life and death and dramatic timing as portrayed in the article. Can the author please make a follow-up disclosure of surrounding or subsequent matters?

No reports of this anywhere else. Checked with a retired F15 pilot friend - he hasn’t heard of this, either. Hard not to call this fake news.

If the plane was legit, it would have answered. Good thing they stopped it! President Trump and others could have been injured or killed.🍒

It was probably a thrill for Americas armed forces to direct fire on a live bogey

Hoorah for these men!
