He said the height the object was traveling at caused it to pose a \u201creasonable threat\u201d to civilian flight safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>President Biden ordered it shot down, and U.S. Northern Command took it down at 1:45 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A U.S. official <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/02\/11\/politics\/unidentified-object-alaska-military-latest\/index.html\">told<\/a> CNN that F-35 fighter jets started investigating the object on Thursday.
