good evening. this time no one waited. just days after a chinese spy balloon was allowed to drift across the country, another unidentified object was spotted over alaska. in this case, fighter jets were scrambled to investigate and then shoot it down. president biden was asked about it not long after. do you have anything to say about the object shot down over alaska, mr. president? more on how all this played out and how the administration is handling it. what else has the administration said about this object? reporter: here s what we know, anderson. this mysterious object is the size of a small car. it was unmanned. it didn t appear to have the capability to maneuver itself within the windstream. and also according to a u.s. official, it didn t appear to have surveillance equipment on board. so those are some significant details. but we really don t know the answer to the major question here, which is who was responsible for sending this up into the sky. listen to wh
we re joined on how this played out and how the administration is handling it. what else has the administration said about this object? reporter: here s what we know, anderson. this mysterious object is the size of a small car. it was unmanned. it didn t appear to have the capability to maneuver itself within the windstream. and also according to a u.s. official, it didn t appear to have surveillance equipment on board. so those are some significant details, but we really don t know the answer to the major question here, which is who was responsible for sending this up into the sky. listen to what the nsc s john kirby said about that earlier today at the white house. we re calling this an object because that s the best description we have right now. we do not know who owns it, whether it s state-owned or corporate-owned or privately owned, we just don t know. reporter: now, what he also said significantly, anderson, is that this mysterious object was traveling at abou

that s inside syria, i mean, that s just nonexistent right now. yeah, that was going to be my next question. we don t really know just how bad things are there. i mean, some groups are getting their now. some groups are barely getting there now, anderson. i think the u.n. sent over a handful of trucks through the one border crossing that u.n. aid can actually legally in theory go through. that border was shut down for the first few days, and it caused such fury and anguish inside syria because people died, and they died because they didn t have the heavy machinery they needed. they died because they didn t have the diesel to run the heavy machinery that was already in-country. they died because the resources simply weren t there. that influx of international teams we saw coming into turkey, which is extraordinary, that s not what you see inside syria. there you see local groups like the white helmets and residents trying to dig through rubble with their bare hands to cope with an a
