The United States shot down an “object” flying over Alaska on the orders of Joe Biden

US President Joe Biden ordered the shooting and shooting down of an “object” that was flying over the state of Alaska, one of the White House representatives, John Kirby, said at a press conference on Friday.

Kirby explained that over the past 24 hours, the Pentagon has detected a “high-rise object” over the state. Alaska and in the final hour, Biden ordered a combat aircraft linked to the Northern Command USA I would shoot him and knock him down.

“Object” at first glance differs from the Chinese “spy ball”, which USA shot down last Saturday after flying over various parts of the country, a spokesman said.

In particular, Kirby explained that the “object” that was shot down was much smaller: it was the size of a “small car” and the proportions of the “spy ball” were “two to three buses”.

In addition, the Chinese “spy ball” had the ability to maneuver, but “an object” which was shot down today, did not have such an opportunity and was under the wind, the representative of the press service explained.

He flew at an altitude of 12 km.

When issuing a demolition order “an object”one of the factors that affected Joe Biden Kirby said it was the altitude at which he flew, about 12 kilometers, and what put him at an altitude where he could interfere with the trajectory of a civilian aircraft.

Unlike “an object” The downed Chinese “spy balloon” flew at an altitude of about 20 kilometers.

“Object” was shot down over waters frozen in a state Alaska and now fragments of the slain entity are being assembled to determine exactly what it was, Kirby elaborated.

USA accuses the Chinese government of having developed a “program” of balloons for espionage work with the involvement of the armed forces and has already flown over 40 countries on 5 continents.

China claims to have shot down a hot air balloon USA on Saturday, it was a weather instrument that “deviated from its original course” due to “force majeure”.

The discovery of these “spy balloons” provoked a new diplomatic crisis between USA and China, and motivated the suspension of a trip that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken planned to make to the Asian country.
