The United States shot down the objects that had been detected
in the country’s airspace in the past week out of caution,
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Hemispheric
Affairs Melissa Dalton told a briefing, Trend reports citing
TASS.
“Because we have not yet been able to definitively assess what
these recent objects are, we have acted out of an abundance of
caution to protect our security and interests,” she noted.
“In light of the People’s Republic of China balloon that we took
down last Saturday, we have been more closely scrutinizing our
airspace at these altitudes including enhancing our radar, which
may at least partly explain the increase in objects that we’ve
detected over the past week,” Dalton added.
