According to the US Department of Defense, the target was a threat due to its potential espionage capabilities.
The US military has once again shot down an alien object flying over North America.
The object was dropped over Lake Huron, which is located on the border between the United States and Canada.
According to US authorities, the order to shoot down was given by the president Joe Biden.
According to the US Ministry of Defense, the target was shot down on Sunday a little before ten o’clock Finnish time.
The object flew at an altitude of about six kilometers
According to the Ministry of Defense, the object that was shot down on Sunday had been flying over US military targets and could possibly have been carrying out espionage activities. The object flew at an altitude of about six kilometers.
– We did not assess it to be an active military threat to targets on the ground, but we assessed it to be a security threat to air traffic and a threat due to possible espionage capabilities, the US Department of Defense announced.
The Ministry of Defense believes that the object dropped on Sunday was the same one that was seen in the survey already the day before over the state of Montana. At that time, the object was not found.
This is the fourth item dropped in North America this month.
The previous drop happened on Saturday evening Finnish time, when an unknown target was shot down in the Yukon territory of Canada.
A little over a week ago on Saturday, the first of the recent targets was shot down. At the time, the target was a Chinese weather balloon that the US suspected of flying over the country for espionage purposes.
