A Chinese surveillance balloon was discovered hovering above America on February 1. Its voyage had been in progress for several days prior, gathering data as it moved eastward until its course ended dramatically – with an interception by US military forces and subsequent descent over South Carolina on impact. Following this occurrence, a series of things happened that prevented entry to American airspace.
A 200-foot Chinese surveillance balloon was the most notable of four foreign objects that US military destroyed in two weeks that violated North American airspace. Reportedly taking flight over multiple critical areas until its interception over Dead Horse, Alaska on February 10th; this was not your average surveillance operation. The thing was the size of a small car, and it was serious business!

Announcing on Saturday that a US F-22 had shot down an illegal invader in the skies above Yukon territory, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to defending its airspace.
A possible Chinese spy balloon that was shot down in Canada last week is the subject of an inquiry by the Canadian Forces. Following this, reports of a another unexplained object, this one octagonal in form and observed above Lake Huron Sunday afternoon, have been made. Canadians are being urged to be on guard by Prime Minister Trudeau, who also pledged that the debris would be swiftly collected for inspection.
The White House verified a possible risk to civilian aviation traffic on February 13, according to The New York Times, which noted that the objects shot down were at dangerously low altitudes. While normal flight trajectories hover closer to 30,000 feet, these aerial intruders traveled between 20 and 40 thousand feet. Despite the fact that these strange aircraft lacked monitoring technology, their presence still worried both authorities and tourists.
The National Security Council’s John F. Kirby assured on Tuesday that there were no threats to American citizens as a result of strange objects entering our airspace, and the White House’s Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that these sightings were not caused by extraterrestrials. However, it is unclear whether this served as an anti or pro justification for some.
