Brandon Shoots Another Object Out of the Sky
[NY Post] The US shot down another high-altitude "object" over the waters off Alaska on Friday afternoon — six days after a fighter jet took out a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina — an operation President Biden deemed "a success."

The latest object, which was detected within the past 24 hours, was downed on Biden’s orders at 1:45 p.m., Pentagon spokesman Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said.
What page to locate this story?
Good question.
The US has not yet determined the object’s "capabilities, purpose or origin," Ryder said. Officials hope to answer those questions after they recover and analyze it.

The object was first picked up on ground radar Thursday, prompting the military to scramble fighter jets to observe it from the air, Ryder said. Pilots determined the object was unmanned, and later used an F-22 to shoot it down after the president gave the go-ahead.

#10 ANOTHER UFO shot down Saturday afternoon over Canada:
"I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. [NORAD] shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object," Trudeau said in a statement on Twitter.

"I spoke with President Biden this afternoon. Canadian Forces will now recover and analyze the wreckage of the object," he said.
