Pentagon Spox on Downed Object over Alaska: ‘No Indication that It Was Manned’

EXCERPT:

RYDER: “Again, we’ll know more and have more information once we’ve recovered this. I will give credit to our pilots that they are very capable in terms of looking at an object, assessing whether or not this had the potential to be manned. At that altitude, something that small, very, very unlikely that it was manned. And so, again, no indication that it was manned, presented a potential reasonable threat to civilian air traffic, and we took it down.”
