Pentagon Press Secretary Brigadier General Pat Ryder confirmed earlier reports the military “successfully took down a high-altitude airborne object ... within U.S. sovereign airspace over territorial water.” The press secretary addressed the downing of the object during the daily briefing at the Pentagon. He said the object was identified on February 9 flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and “posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight.” Brigadier General Ryder also addressed the recovery efforts of the Chinese spy balloon that was downed off the coast of South Carolina on February 4, as well as provided an update on rescue and disaster relief efforts for those impacted by the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria earlier in the week. close
