‘Unknown Object’ Shot Down By US Near Alaska

An unknown object – equivalent to the size of a car – has been shot down by the US near Alaska.

President Biden ordered for it to be brought down in American territorial waters.

Just days ago the US downed a Chinese balloon off South Carolina – believed to be used for spying.

Press Secretary at the Pentagon Brigadier General Patrick Ryder says it remains unclear where it actually came from:

“The object was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight. We have no further details about the object at this time, including any description of its capabilities, purpose or origin”.
