WASHINGTON — A U.S. fighter jet shot an unknown object out of the sky Friday off the coast of Alaska not far from the Canadian border, White House officia
ls confirmed, just hours after Canada’s defence minister met with her American counterpart at the Pentagon.
Kirby described the object as “the size of a small car,” but had few other details, such as where it might have come from or its capabilities. The U.S. has the lead on analyzing the balloon, which was downed Sunday off the South Carolina coast, and Canada is not directly involved, Anand said. “We were … examining the trajectory and analyzing the balloon, including the height of the balloon and the contents of the balloon, and determined that it posed no imminent risk to Canadians at all,” Anand said.
