UK to review security after unidentified objects puzzle North America
London, The Gulf Observer: Britain has announced a security review after several unidentified objects were shot down in the skies over North America.
Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said “the U.K. and her allies will review what these airspace intrusions mean for our security.”
He said “this development is another sign of how the global threat picture is changing for the worse.”
Wallace’s announcement late Sunday came after U.S. fighter jets shot down an object over Lake Huron on Sunday – the fourth such downing over the U.S. or Canada this month.
On Feb. 4, the U.S. military downed what officials say was a Chinese spy balloon off the South Carolina coast after tracking it for several days across North America.
On Friday, F-22 jets shot down a “car-sized” object in U.S. airspace off the coast of Alaska, and on Saturday Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he had ordered a U.S. warplane to shoot down an unidentified object – later described as a balloon — high over the Yukon territory in northwest Canada.
