Washington (EFE).- The US government believes that the last two flying objects shot down in North America were balloons, although smaller than the alleged Chinese spy balloon intercepted last week, said Sunday the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, Chuck Schumer.
The United States shot down a Chinese balloon on February 4, considering that it was spying on its territory, and since then it has brought down two other objects, one in Alaska and one in Canada, although it has not given more details about these devices.
In an interview with ABC, Schumer revealed that President Joe Biden’s team thinks these last two objects were also balloons, “but much smaller than the first.”
The senator, who was informed about these objects by the White House National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, stated that the devices were flying at an altitude of 12,000 meters, posing a “danger” to commercial aviation.
Schumer stressed that until a few months ago the United States did not know anything about these balloons and assured that the Army and US intelligence are focused on collecting all the necessary information.
US cooperates with Canada
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Saturday that an object flying over the Yucon region in northwestern Canada was shot down with the help of the United States.
On Friday, the United States shot down another high-flying object of unknown origin over Alaska, whose debris fell into icy waters.
Both events occurred in the midst of the diplomatic crisis between the US and China after last week the United States shot down an alleged Chinese spy balloon that flew over much of its territory.
The Biden government accuses China of having developed, with the involvement of the Armed Forces, a balloon “program” for espionage work and that they have already flown over more than 40 countries on 5 continents.
China defends that the balloon that the United States shot down was a meteorological device that “deviated from its original course” due to “force majeure.”
