The three objects shot down over the weekend are “very different” from the Chinese surveillance balloon that was taken out after it journeyed across North America earlier this month, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Monday said three objects shot down over the weekend in Alaska, Canada’s Yukon Territory, and over Lake Huron did not present danger to anyone on the ground. But he told reporters shortly after he arrived in Brussels for a meeting of NATO defense ministers that the still-unidentified crafts did present a risk to civil aviation and potentially an intelligence-collection threat.
“Because we’ve not been able to definitely assess what these recent objects are, we’ve acted out of an abundance of caution to protect our security and interests,” Mr. Austin said. “We have teams working hard to track down the debris from over the weekend. Each of these recoveries is unique and each poses their own challenges.”
