It was called a &#8220;small, metallic balloon,&#8221; The Pentagon informed legislators.<\/p>\n<p>The balloon was crossed &#8220;U.S. sensitive sites&#8221; Defense officials sent a Monday memo to their staff before the fighter jet crashed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/02\/13\/politics\/pentagon-memo-canada-small-balloon\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obtained<\/a> CNN. This is the first description of three objects that were shot down by the U.S. Military this weekend, as they downed two aircrafts over Alaska and Lake Huron.<\/p>\n<p>This is more than seven weeks after a Chinese spy satellite was first reported to have been seen floating over Montana military bases. The Biden administration allowed the airship to floate across the United States and then shot it down over Atlantic Ocean, Feb. 4. Republicans were critical of Biden&#8217;s slow response.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;President Joe Biden&#8217;s weakness with China is once again on display,&#8221; Mike Pompeo, former secretary of State <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/full-of-hot-air-how-bidens-weakness-assures-chinese-aggression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Write<\/a> Washington Free Beacon<\/p>\n<p>The Pentagon has not released any information regarding the appearance or purpose of the other objects. Lloyd Austin, the Defense Secretary, stated Monday that the military has &#8220;not recovered any debris&#8221; These are the three objects.<\/p>\n<p>John Kirby, White House spokesperson said Monday that no other flying objects are being tracked by the military.<\/p>\n<p>Some Democrats are represented by lawmakers. <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/senior-house-dem-demands-transparency-from-biden-on-ufos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">criticized<\/a> Biden administration for not giving enough information on the incidents.
