A UFO whistleblower claims mysterious black helicopters swooped in and retrieved a "UFO" shot down by USAF jets.
Just under a year ago, fighter jets shot down an unidentified “cylindrical” object some 10 miles off the frozen coast of Alaska.
At the time pilots sent up to examine the object gave conflicting accounts of what they saw, but US President Joe Biden later told reporters that the downed object was probably a civilian-owned balloon and "most likely tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions”.

But now a UFO whistleblower has revealed new details of the operation – sensationally claiming that Biden was concealing the truth about the operation. Australian journalist Ross Coulthart claims to have new information about the "anomalous” object from a Pentagon insider.
"A source has just contacted me confidentially to confirm something that I first spoke about a month or two ago," he said on his Need to Know podcast. "We talked about the Alaska UAP object and I said definitively that sources of mine were telling me that the Alaska object was anomalous.
“But I've just received this – the Pentagon tracked the Alaska object confirmed that it was a silver cylindrical UAP and not a balloon. President Joe Biden ordered the shoot-down and multiple assets were involved with the recovery. HC-130s, F-16s for cover and OGA black helicopters – that's a direct quote from somebody who has a source in the Pentagon."
OGA is a catch-all term for “other government agencies” which is usually taken to mean the CIA and other security services.
Coulthart says that the description of the operation is “a direct quote from somebody who has a source in the Pentagon and he says that he is 100% certain of this account”.
A Pentagon spokesman, Brigadier General Patrick Ryder, told reporters at the time that the object represented "a reasonable threat to air traffic," and had therefore been shot down on President Biden's direct order.
US National Security Council coordinator John Kirby said that the object was "much, much smaller than the spy balloon that we took down last Saturday" – referring to the 200ft Chinese spy balloon – and was "about the size of a small car".
At the time of the incident, UFO hunters were sharing online video footage of what appeared to be black helicopters hovering over the Alaska coastline.
US officials said it should be easier to retrieve pieces of the object from the ice than it would have been to recover the large Chinese surveillance balloon that had been shot down in the first week of February 2023. A Department of Defense official said it broke into pieces.
A Pentagon spokesman said on the same day that recovery teams were collecting the debris on top of the ice. US divers and unmanned underwater vehicles had also reportedly retrieved additional debris.
Brigadier General Ryder later announced that The Alaska National Guard, alongside units under US Northern Command, along with HC-130 Hercules, HH-60 Pave Hawk, and CH-47 Chinook had all been participating in the effort to recover the object.
However on February 18, 2023, Pentagon officials announced that that the search had been abandoned. Some pilots involved in the shoot-down reported that the object had “interfered with their sensors” on the planes,
The Pentagon and the White House declined to give a detailed description of the object, saying only that "It wasn't an aircraft per se.”
The object was said to be was far smaller than the Chinese balloon, which had been described by Chinese government as a civilian meteorological research airship that had been blown off course..
