F-16, two missiles, one missed. I think these were the vanguard weather balloons that China sent to test our defenses.
Although to be fair, it looks like more of a giant trash bag.

I don’t know which all aircraft were involved at different points, but there was absolutely a shoot-down by an F-22.
I don’t know anything about this website but it was one of Wikipedia’s sources. I remember seeing the pictures/videos with the F-22 clearly visible, plus the noteworthy stats like being the first f-22 kill, being the first engagement over US territory since WW2, and that it was probably the highest air to air kill.

Oh I agree, I wasn’t making an exclusive statement. It’s just pretty wild that this was 2 years ago and feels like a fever dream now.
