Biden ordered US military to ‘down’ a ‘high-altitude object’ over Alaska, White House says
The White House announced Friday that President Joe Biden ordered the military to down what it described as a “high-altitude object” hovering over Alaska earlier in the day.
“The Department of Defense was tracking a high-altitude object over Alaska airspace in the last 24 hours,” National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby told reporters when asked about rumors of another suspected Chinese surveillance balloon.
The high-altitude object, Kirby said, was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and “posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight.”
He continued, “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 inside our territorial waters – and those waters right now are frozen – but inside territorial airspace and over territorial waters. Fighter aircraft assigned to US Northern Command took down the object within last hour.”

Seran: OMG! Republicans are absolute lunatics demanding Biden shoot down a Chinese owned spy balloon! China is a huge trading partner of ours!!!!
Also Seran: LOL! We got another one!
Dreaven/GOP Simps: "Biden didn't shoot down the China balloon fast enough and it spread deadly viruses and 5g all over the country."
Department of Defense: "We shot down another high altitude object before it reached our shores in observance of national defense and commercial aviation needs."
Dreaven/GOP Simps: "But but but, Trump's Presidency had at least three balloons which flew over our country and didn't spread covid-19 or 5G vaccines!"
Hot off the press, they just found a third one over NYC.

No one is outraged by shooting down the balloon. It’s where we wanted it shot down. If it was shot down over land, we’d have no information about the real capabilities and uses of what the balloon were. Since we shot it down over water, and can actually recover it and see what it really was.
And if you say the Chinese spy balloon could do more than that… we’ll you should say thank you for shooting it down over the water instead of land, because you wouldn’t even know that otherwise.
I’m failing to see the issue here.
China has satellites that go over America all the time. America has the technology to stop over head imaging of getting any real data.
