Alaska demolition mystery

In the United States, a fighter jet was shot down on Friday an unknown flying object on a remote coast in northern Alaska on the orders of President Joe Biden, White House officials said.

The object was destroyed to represent a “reasonable dangerfor the safety of civilian flights as it was flying at an altitude of about 40,000 feet, said John Kirby, spokesman for the White House National Security Council. Commercial aircraft and private jets can fly at an altitude of 13,700 meters.

In his description of the item, Kirby said it was about the size of small car size and its dimensions were much smaller than those of the alleged Chinese spy balloon shot down last Saturday by Air Force fighters in the waters off the coast of South Carolina after flying over sensitive military installations in the continental United States.

Both shooting downs within days of each other in a stunning event reflected US concerns about the strike schedule. Chinese espionage and the public call for Biden to take a strong stand.

However, there were few responses about the unknown object destroyed on Friday, and the White House noted both incidents had their differences. Officials did not specify whether the latest item was equipped with spy equipment, where it came from or what it was used for.

The Pentagon declined to provide a more precise description of the item and noted only that US pilots observing it determined that it was apparently unmanned.

According to officials, the object was much smaller than last week’s balloon, apparently it lacked maneuverability and was flying at a much lower altitude.

Kirby argued that Biden, on a recommendation from the Pentagon, believed there was sufficient reason to shoot it down, especially since it posed a potential danger to civil aviation. “We will be vigilant about our airspace,” Kirby said.
