Object flying 40000 feet high over alaska shot down by us jets

Washington: After the American jet shot down the Chinese Spy Balloon, the American fighter plane shot down another new object on Friday. This suspicious object (Unidentified Object) was flying above 40,000 feet in Alaska. Its size was less than the previous spy balloon. It was like a small car in appearance. However, it is not known what the purpose of this unknown object was.

According to the news agency AFP, the White House said that a US fighter plane shot down an unidentified object over Alaska on Friday. Just six days after the fall of the Chinese spy balloon, another such object has been seen in the sky. It was shot-down after the order of President Joe Biden. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said it was not clear what the purpose or origin of the new object was, but it was a threat to civil aviation. The object was much smaller than a giant Chinese balloon that was hovering over the United States last week, which was shot down on February 5 by a US fighter jet off the Atlantic coast.

Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder said an F-22 Raptor used an AIM-9X missile to bring down the object. The same aircraft and ammunition were also used to target the alleged Chinese spy balloons. US officials said such balloons have flown in more than 40 countries, including territories in the United States.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin described the operation as a “deliberate and lawful action”. At the same time, Beijing rejected the American allegations and told that it had gone into American airspace by mistake.
