The shoot-down is the latest in an unusual series of aerial incidents that began last week https://t.co/LIzMsjKmpV
CNN said the airborne object was shot down upon orders from President Joe Biden.
It quoted Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder as saying that the object, the size of a small car, constituted a danger to civilian flights, but was not a military threat.
"We did not assess it to be a kinetic military threat to anything on the ground, but assess it was a safety flight hazard and a threat due to its potential surveillance capabilities," Ryder reportedly said.
