Investigative filmmaker Sean Cahill discusses three unidentified flying objects shot down in North American airspace this weekend after a Chinese spy balloon was brought down last Saturday off the South Carolina coast.
The Chinese surveillance balloon was downed on Feb 4th off the coast of South Carolina after traveling across the US. Since then, a second object was shot down Friday flying over Alaska at about 40,000 feet, another object was shot down at 40,000 feet over the Yukon on Saturday, and and a 4th object was shot down at 20,000 feet over Lake Huron on Sunday.
CNN quoted an anonymous National Security Council spokesperson as saying, “These objects did not closely resemble and were much smaller than the PRC balloon and we will not definitively characterize them until we can recover the debris, which we are working on.”
Politico reported the object shot down on Friday was 'cylindrical in shape and roughly the size of a small car', 'not maneuverable', and appeared to lack surveillance equipment. Canada’s Defense Minister said the one shot down over the Yukon was also small & cylindrical, and the one over Lake Huron was Octagonal in structure, with strings hanging off it but no payload.
Reuters reports that General Glen VanHerck at NORAD hasn't ruled out extraterrestrial origin for three airborne objects that were shot down, saying "I'll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven't ruled out anything."
Fox News reports that NORAD gave notice of an upcoming air defense exercise scheduled between for Tuesday between midnight and 2:30 a.m. EST around Washington, DC. This is a night exercise scheduled after the 4th object was shot down.
