1. Kirby said during a press briefing that the White House that the object, which was much smaller than the spy balloon shot down last week, was about the size of a car.

2. The “high-altitude object” was brought down Friday afternoon on the northeast portion of Alaska near the Canadian border over water that is frozen, Kirby said during the briefing. It was first seen by officials Thursday evening.

3. Kirby said the latest object was flying about 40,000 feet above the ground, unlike the spy balloon that was flying much higher — 65,000 as it flew over the U.S. last week.

Officials could not say if there was any surveillance equipment on the item shot down on Friday. The object was shot down at the order of President Joe Biden, Kirby said.
