    The U.S. military shot down an unidentified object over Alaska on Friday, according to U.S. officials.

    Officials have not confirmed if the object was another Chinese spy balloon, The New York Times reported.

    The object was reportedly flying around 40,000 feet, making it a threat to civilian aircraft.

    The news comes after the U.S. military used an F-22 Raptor last week to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean using a single air-to-air AIM-9X Sidewinder missile that was fired at an altitude of approximately 58,000 feet. The decision to shoot down the spy balloon came after President Joe Biden allowed it to fly thousands of miles over the continental U.S. last week.

    This latest breach of U.S. airspace happened late Thursday night over Alaska, the report said.

    The incursion on Thursday night was allegedly short which is one reason that officials said that they had not confirmed if the object was even from a foreign nation.

In the face of a known scandal finally being revealed by the corrupt Legacy Media regarding Joe Biden, his Mishandling of Classified Documents and his long history of Influence Peddling to our Foreign Adversaries for Personal and Familial Profit: What do you believe the outcome will be in America's Leftist practice of a Two Tiered Justice System?
  Nothing will happen since the Democratic Socialist Left is corrupt to the core, and their non patriot ambitions are only the control of power.
  Justice WILL be served, but NOT without a tremendous fight by those willing to save the Republic.
  Why can't everyone else understand that the Left is special because we care so much for our own, especially the well being of the president and his family, especially Hunter.
  What difference does it make; I am a product of a failed public education system.
