Over the last week or so, fighter jets have shot down four objects flying over North America. The first, was a Chinese spy balloon. Since then, other devices have been shot down over Alaska, Canada, and most recently Michigan.
"Right now, our priority is debris recovery," said United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. "So, we can get a better sense of what the objects are."
"I’m not going to categorize them as balloons," said U.S. Air Force General Glen D. Vanherck. "We’re calling them objects for a reason."
