A U.S. fighter jet shot down an object that was the size of a small car over Alaska on the order of President Biden, the White House said
White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters many details were unknown about the object but the United States expected to recover the object after it landed in U.S. territorial waters.
It was unclear where the object came from, Kirby said. "We don't know who owns this object," he said. He said the object, which had been flying at about 40,000 feet , went down on the far northeastern part of Alaska near the Canadian border. He said the American pilot's assessment was that no human was aboard.
The United States on Feb. 4 shot down off the coast of South Carolina a Chinese high-altitude surveillance balloon that transited the United States. U.S. officials have been recovering the debris from the 200-foot-tall balloon and its undercarriage of electronic gadgetry.
