BREAKING: The Pentagon has shot down another object over Alaskan airspace, just days after the US downed a suspected Chinese spy balloon.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed that the Pentagon on Friday shot down an unidentified object over Alaska
‘The object was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight,’ said Kirby from the White House. The object has not been confirmed to be a balloon. It was ‘roughly the size of a small car’, Kirby said. By comparison, the spy balloon the US shot down on Saturday was the size of several buses.
