Three UFOs were shot down by U.S. fighter jets three days in a row starting Feb. 10, 2023 to Feb. 12, 2023. This comes after a Chinese spy balloon was shot down putting North American air defenses on high alert.

The first UFO to be shot down was located off the coast of Alaska, which was predicted to be about the size of a car. The next day, the second object was dismantled over Canada above the Yukon area. Canadian officials described this as a small cylinder-type item. The last UFO to be struck down was said to be an octogonal shaped object with strings hanging off of it which occurred over Lake Huron. 

“Given the situation we were in, the information available, the recommendation of military commanders, it was exactly the right thing to do at exactly the right time,” said spokesperson for the National Security Council, John F. Kirby.

The last object was shot down by a F-16 and the other two objects and the balloon were shot down by F-22 jets.

“I think the F-22 was used to shoot down the balloon and objects at higher altitudes because it is one of the only planes that can go that high. I guess they used the F-16 because it’s a good plane and they didn’t need to use the F-22 for that [object] because it was at a lower altitude,” said junior Christian Bucks.  

No immediate or present danger was detected from any of the objects; however, U.S. officials believe the original balloon from China was being used for surveillance purposes around the country.

“I think we should just spy on them and make it even, “said junior Bryce Kline.

Most UFO’s have suspected links to private or civilian companies but were shot due to the possibility of spying

“We will not definitively characterize them until we can recover the debris, which we are working on,” a spokesperson said.

Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder added “We have no further details about the object at this time, including any description of its capabilities, purpose, or origin.”

The objects moving across the world have additionally been seen at effectively high-altitudes. The last object to be shot down was spotted at 20,000 while the two other objects were hovering at 40,000 feet.  

“I am not able to categorize how they stay aloft. It could be a gaseous type of balloon inside a structure or it could be some type of a propulsion system. But clearly, they’re — they’re able to stay aloft,” said commanding officer Gen. Glen VanHerck.

There has been some speculation of these possibly being alien UFO’s, worrying people.

“There is no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
