A U.S. recovery effort on sea ice in Alaska continued Saturday after a fighter jet shot down an unidentified airborne object near the Canadian border.
“Recovery operations continue today near Deadhorse, Alaska," U.S. Northern Command said in a statement. “We have no further details at this time about the object, including its capabilities, purpose, or origin.”
Personnel are adjusting to maintain safety in arctic weather conditions, including wind chill, snow and limited daylight, according to the statement.
