In February 2023, within a week of the high-profile shoot-down of a Chinese surveillance balloon, the U.S. military downed three further unidentified objects over North America — over Alaska, Canada's Yukon, and Lake Huron. Officials admitted they could not identify the origin or purpose of the latter three. A senior White House official notably declined to rule out non-human origins before recovery (then stressed there was no indication of it). None of the three were ever publicly identified.
