US President Joe Biden ordered a fighter jet to shoot down an unidentified "high-altitude object" off Alaska on Friday, the White House says.
Spokesman John Kirby said the unmanned object was "the size of a small car" and posed a "reasonable threat" to civilian aviation.
The object's purpose and origin was unclear, Mr Kirby said.
It comes a week after the American military destroyed a Chinese balloon over US territorial waters.

Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has successfully secured a deal to form a new coalition government following weeks of negotiations with religious and far-right partners.
In a phone call to President Isaac Herzog moments before a midnight deadline, he said: "I wanted to announce to you that thanks to the amazing public support we received in the elections, I have succeeded in forming a government that will take care of all the citizens of Israel."
His conservative Likud party and religious-nationalist parties close to the ultra-Orthodox and West Bank settler communities won a comfortable majority in Israel's 1 November election - winning a majority of 64 seats in the 120-member Knesset.
But forming a government was held up by disputes over a package of proposed legislation on issues ranging from planning authority in the West Bank to ministerial control over the police.
The new government - which Mr Netanyahu must now present within a week - will take office after a year that has seen the worst levels of violence in the West Bank in more than a decade.
More than 150 Palestinians and more than 20 Israelis have died in the last year.
Mr Netanyahu said he intends to complete the process of forming his government "as soon as possible next week".
The likely next asteroid of substantial size to potentially hit Earth is asteroid 2005 ED224. When the 164-foot (50-meter) asteroid passes by on March 11, 2023, there is roughly a 1 in 500,000 chance of impact.
Be careful that they are not deceiving you to believe that the space rocks that will rain down from Heaven the throne of God Nibiru passes over, is the result of a messed up Government attempt to knock an Asteroid out the way.
Its all alie, They aint been to the Moon, they aint knocking Asteroid around in space either.
