Kirby: U.S. Military Has Shot Down a ‘High-Altitude Object’ Over Alaska in the Past Hour

EXCERPT:

KIRBY: "So, I can confirm that the Department of Defense was tracking a high altitude object over Alaska airspace in the last 24 hours. Out -- the -- the object was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight. Out of an abundance of caution and at the recommendation of the Pentagon, President Biden ordered the military to down the object and they did and it came in inside our territorial waters. Now, those waters right now are frozen, but inside territorial airspace and over territorial waters. Fighter aircraft assigned to U.S. Northern Command took down the object within the last hour.”
