- last year
AU.S. fighter jet shot down an unidentified object flying off the Alaskan coast Friday on the order of President Joe Biden.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the aircraft was brought down “out of an abundance of caution,” because it was flying at an altitude of 40,000 ft. and “posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight.”
