A flying object has been shot down over Alaska in the USA by an American fighter jet. The object was shot down in the northeastern part of Alaska at an altitude of 40,000 feet and was the size of a small car. It was Joe Biden who gave the order to shoot it down. The official justification was that the object was a threat to aviation. A US military aircraft was spotted over northeastern Alaska on Friday.

Spy balloon Just over a week ago, an American fighter plane took to the air and shot down a balloon, which the Americans believe was clearly a Chinese spy balloon. It was equipped with aerials that could pick up military installations, and it flew over military bases and areas where the Americans have large bombers. American authorities believe the spy balloon was sent out by the Chinese defense forces. A total of 40 such Chinese spy balloons had been sent out over several countries, and the US has promised to punish all Chinese companies that had anything to do with it.
