The US Air Force has shot down a flying object for the fourth time. This time above Lake Huron, near the Canada-US border. “They can’t tell what it is. This was probably not a Chinese balloon, it flew lower and had an octagonal shape with strings underneath,’ says US correspondent Jan Postma.
It is the fourth time that the Americans have shot down a flying object, on February 4 a Chinese balloon was shot down off the coast of South Carolina. According to the USA, a spy balloon, according to the Chinese, a stray civilian research plane. However, according to US authorities, the objects shot down over the US state of Alaska and Canada in recent days do not look like a balloon.
It is also unclear which flying object was shot down yesterday and why it crossed Canadian and American airspace. “What we do know is that he was shot down by an F-16 on orders from President Biden because he was flying at an altitude where he posed a hazard to aviation. It also flew lower than the Chinese balloon, it’s probably not even a balloon,” says Postma.
Octagonal object
According to Post, it’s an octagonal object with wires underneath, and that’s all we know about it. “That’s the big story today. Is it China? Is it another country? Is it private property? They are still looking for debris, the most mysterious thing is that the Pentagon cannot say how it got left in the air.’
Alien
And the latter fuels speculation that the objects may have an extraterrestrial origin. When asked why so many objects are now being observed, Postma says that in their observations, the US authorities have “removed a kind of filter from the software that also detects slowly floating objects”.
