Leave it to balloons to spark alien suspicions.
On Friday, U.S. warplanes shot down a "high-altitude object" off the coast of Alaska, stating that it posed a threat to civilian airliners. On Saturday, an "airborne object" was shot down over Canada. On Sunday, one over Lake Huron in Michigan. The three incidents come after the U.S. shot down a Chinese surveillance balloon over the Atlantic Ocean on February 4. Since then, misinformation about the objects, their origin and purpose have run rampant online.
