U.S. military ready to suspend search for aerial objects shot down over Alaskan airspace, Lake Huron
The move — recommended by the U.S. Northern Command and with which Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin concurred — came after American troops, federal agencies and Canadian officials discovered “no debris from airborne objects” after a search using airborne imagery and sensors and subsurface scans in Deadhorse, Alaska and Lake Huron, according to the release.
Since downing a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon on Feb. 4, the Biden administration has faced pressure to disclose more information on how a foreign vehicle had entered American airspace.In the following week, officials said they had taken down three more high-altitude, unidentified objects that they later said were probably not from China, but benign objects tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions. Those objects had been shot down over Alaska on Feb.
The Pentagon has rejected accusations that defense officials bowed down to political pressure and were overreacting by shooting down the three additional objects last week.
