Mysterious birds shot down with $400,000 rockets.
According to Reuters, after the flight of a Chinese balloon over the United States, which Washington called espionage and Beijing denied, three other flying objects were seen and shot down over the United States and Canada. But what are these flying objects? What we know about them and what we don’t know.
What are these objects?
The first case was a 60-meter flying object and it was seen two weeks ago and the American authorities recognized it as a spy balloon; The story that started a wave of controversy.
Beijing denied that the balloon was espionage and emphasized that it was a civilian flying object for research purposes and accidentally entered US airspace.
Three other objects, which remain officially unidentified and officials are awaiting debris collection for official comment, include an object the size of a small car that crashed Friday over the inhabited area of Deadhorse, Alaska. Another, similar in shape but smaller than the Chinese balloon, crashed while flying over Canada’s Yukon Territory on Saturday, and a day later, an octagonal UFO crashed over Lake Huron.
Where did these objects come from?
American authorities have not yet identified any origin for these flying objects. The U.S. Air Force general and commander of the North American Aerospace Forces did not rule out extraterrestrial involvement on Sunday, but another U.S. official later said there was no evidence of extraterrestrial intervention.
Why do we see these objects a lot these days?
After the detection of the Chinese balloon, the US military adjusted its radar to detect smaller flying objects at different altitudes, and the administration of US President Joe Biden claimed that several Chinese spy balloons had entered US airspace undetected in recent years. .
Officials of this country announced that the North American Aerospace Defense Command has adjusted the filters and algorithms used to review and monitor radar data and increased their sensitivity in order to detect smaller objects with the ability to fly at high altitude and move with the wind.
