Recently, four objects have been seen in the sky and tracked down. All were tracked down by fighter jets. The first object that the search crew from the navy found was a balloon. They found this balloon in Alaska in the ocean water. This balloon was no ordinary balloon. The balloon was white and the balloon's payload weighed more than a couple thousand pounds China's surveillance balloon was believed to enter the U.S. airspace near Alaska before transiting over Canada and then the continental U.S. But China claims that this balloon was for collecting weather data. The balloon showed small motors and multiple propellers that allowed China to actively maneuver the balloon over specific locations, according to a senior administration official, and it was steered by a rudder, a U.S. official said.
The second object that the crew found was the following balloons. These balloons were cylindrical and silver-grey. Two days later a fighter jet shot the balloon and then recovered it.
Even President Joe Biden said that three unidentified flying objects shot down last weekend over North American airspace were "most likely" balloons tied to private companies or research institutions, not part of China's surveillance spy balloon operation. All of the objects were balloons flying up in the air, so they needed to be very cautious while taking them down.
