US shoots down car-sized unidentified object flying above Alaska

A Sidewinder missile downed the latest craft, which was about the size of a small car, said US Brigadier General Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson.

A US F-22 fighter jet on Friday shot down an unidentified object flying high over Alaska, US officials said, less than a week after the military brought down a Chinese balloon that had flown across the United States.
