What we know about the uptick in mystery objects being shot down from U.S. airspace
The Pentagon oversaw the shooting down of three unidentified objects in as many days — the first on Friday over Alaska, the second on Saturday over Canada's Yukon territory, and the third on Sunday over Lake Huron. The chaotic series of events came just over a week after the U.S. downed a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic coast.
"In light of the People's Republic of China balloon that we took down last Saturday, we have been more closely scrutinizing our airspace at these altitudes, including enhancing our radar, which may at least partly explain the increase in objects that we've detected over the past week," Dalton said.VanHerck and Dalton couldn't offer many details on the latest three downed objects, as all are still being collected.
Dalton added that officials could not"definitively assess" what the three objects were, so they"acted out of an abundance of caution to protect [U.S.] security and interest" and shot all of them down. Asked about the physical characteristics of the three objects, VanHerck struggled to offer specifics.
