Three unidentified objects have been shot down from Feb. 4-12

THE UNITED STATES was put on high alert on Feb. 4 when a national alarm was triggered due to a U.S. F-22 fighter jet shooting down a Chinese “spy balloon” off the coast of South Carolina — triggering more takedowns of flying objects.

Since then, a U.S. fighter jet has shot down another unidentified flying object on Feb. 10. This object was brought down over the waters of Alaska and broke into pieces after being shot, according to The New York Times. A White House official additionally confirmed the object was the size of a small car. This left the question of what was really shot down.

Another unidentified object was shot down over the Yukon territory bordering

Alaska by an American fighter on Feb. 11, according to The New York Times. It was described as cylindrical and small by a Canadian official.

An object that was first seen over Montana on Feb. 11 reappeared on Feb. 12 and was shot down over Lake Huron, off of Michigan, according to The New York Times.

“If I could do something different about this whole situation, I wouldn’t worry about the public’s opinions,” science teacher Susan Hallstrom said. “If the [unidentified objects] were over American airspace, we have the right to shoot them down — as other countries have the right to shoot ours down..”
