The White House has confirmed that they shot down a “high-altitude object” the “size of a small car” over the Alaska. This was confirmed in a briefing Friday from spokesperson John Kirby. By Friday new results emerged.
The White House said Friday that a ‘high-altitude object’ has been shot down over Alaska.
President Joe Biden ordered the shootdown, spokesman John Kirby said, adding that the origin of the object wasn’t determined.
He said it was about the size of a small car and was at flying about 40-thousand feet.
He said because it posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight, that out of an abundance of caution and at the recommendation of the Pentagon, Biden ordered the military to down the object.
“it came in, inside our territorial waters, those waters right now are frozen, but inside territorial airspace and over territorial waters. Fighter aircraft assigned to U.S. Northern command took down the object within the last hour,” Kirby said.
They did confirm the craft was unmanned before they had fighter planes shoot it down. The origins of the craft is also unknown, though it was decided the craft did not have maneuvering capabilities, and was at the mercy of the wind. The President was briefed on the situation last night, and it was confirmed to be shot down this morning, Friday the 10th.
That is 1st of 5 since the Great Balloon shoot down.
Exactly
They say, he said, this is just a way of covering thier selves over last week screw up. Hay look everyone we shot down something before it got with in our airspace.
As we are the laughing stock of the world, and no one anyplace in the world is afraid of us, because of the twit in the WH.
