White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters the object was flying at about 40,000ft and posted a “reasonable threat” to the safety of civilian flights. He said the object went down on the far northeastern part of Alaska near the Canadian border and pilots determined the object was not manned.
It comes after the US shot down an alleged Chinese “spy balloon” over its territorial waters off the coast of South Carolina, last Saturday .
