WASHINGTON - The US military said on Saturday it still could not offer even basic details about an unidentified flying object it shot down off Alaska a day earlier, and announced it had spotted yet another high-altitude airborne object, now flying over Canada.Alaska on Friday, a day after US pilots first spotted – and tried to identify – the object as it flew into US airspace.
On Saturday, the US military’s Northern Command suggested little more had been learned about it, even as search and recovery efforts entered their second day. It noted difficult arctic weather conditions, including wind chill, snow, and limited daylight that hinder search and recovery efforts.Just minutes after the update on the recovery activities, the US military’s North American Aerospace Defence Command said it identified a new high-altitude airborne object over northern Canada. Northern Command and Norad are both led by US Air Force General Glen VanHerck.
“While we cannot discuss specifics related to these activities at this time, please note that Norad conducts sustained, dispersed operations in the defence of North America through one or all three Norad regions,” it said in a statement.
