"We do not have other details about the vehicle, including any about its capabilities, purpose or origin," Ryder said.
According to him, the object was at an altitude of 40 thousand feet and posed a threat to the safety of civil aviation.
It is noted that the ball was the size of a small car and is not similar in size or shape to a reconnaissance balloon shot down earlier.
