Americans Still in Dark About Mysterious UFO Shootdowns

Nearly a year after Americans were captivated by the military takedown of a Chinese spy balloon and the subsequent shootdowns of three other unidentified objects, there are still more questions than answers about what was lurking above – and military analysts say that even if the mysterious items were deemed a threat to national security, not all details must be kept classified.

While some information has emerged, it has been largely limited to descriptions of the Chinese spy balloon. That high-altitude balloon was the first item that was shot down, though not until it had floated over several sensitive sites in the U.S., including Montana's Malmstrom Air Force Base. The base is home to one of the nation's three nuclear missile silo fields.
