and MISS!

Since that first incident, American fighter jets have shot down three more high-altitude objects in as many days - over Alaska, Canada's Yukon territory, and Lake Huron on the US-Canada border.

In the Lake Huron strike, the first Sidewinder missile fired by the US F-16 warplane missed its target and exploded in an unknown location, US media reported, citing military sources. The second missile hit the target, according to reports.

source.....BBC.

For those of you that don't know.......these missiles have 2 fuses.......an impact fuse, and a proximity fuse......so it must have missed by a good distance!

Theres a reason they're not called hitiles!
