John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, acknowledged during Friday’s White House briefing that the Pentagon, acting on President Biden’s orders, shot down a “high altitude object” above Alaskan airspace on Friday. The incident occurred a few days after the Pentagon shot down a Chinese spy balloon that had traveled across a large portion of the American continent. Kirby responded, “I can confirm that the Department of Defense was following a high-altitude object over Alaska in the previous 24 hours,” when questioned about the prospect of another object circling over American airspace.

This most recent object is still being evaluated by the Pentagon, and neither its owner nor its intended use is known. U.S. officials stated that it was not yet possible to establish the existence of surveillance devices. This most recent device, according to Kirby, was the size of a “small vehicle” and was over a “very sparsely inhabited” region, making it easier to bring down than the Chinese surveillance balloon, which was bigger than the Statue of Liberty.
The president’s main concern, according to Kirby, was the threat that this most recent object posed to commercial planes. Off the coast of Alaska, this most recent item was destroyed. You can also like to read about Earthquake Disasters In Turkey.
