U.S. Says No Signs Downed Objects in North American Airspace on Weekend Were Chinese Spy Devices
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration said Tuesday it has not uncovered any evidence
three unidentified flying objects shot down over the weekend over North
American territory are connected to a Chinese - or any other nation's -
surveillance program. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby
said the objects could turn out to be related to commercial or research
efforts.

Bloomberg reports the Raytheon-produced missiles used by the U.S. to
shoot down the objects come at a cost of around $440,000 each.
