Why can’t similar images of the Alaska, Yukon, and LakeHuron objects be released?

>On February 14, after unidentified high-altitude objects had been detected and shot down over northern Alaska, Yukon, and Lake Huron, White House spokesman [John Kirby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kirby_(admiral)) said that the [U.S. Intelligence Community](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Intelligence_Community) “will not dismiss as a possibility that these could be balloons that were simply tied to commercial or research entities and therefore benign. That very well could be, or could emerge, as a leading explanation here.”[^([2])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_high-altitude_object_events_in_2023#cite_note-LamotheHorton-2) The downing of the Yukon object, on February 11, 2023, marked the first deployment of NORAD to down an aerial object within the 64-year history of the US-Canadian aerospace warning and air sovereignty organization.[^([5])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_high-altitude_object_events_in_2023#cite_note-NORAD_first-5) The objects shot down over northern Alaska, Yukon, and Lake Huron were all smaller than the Chinese balloon shot down over South Carolina.[^([6])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_high-altitude_object_events_in_2023#cite_note-6) A report by [The Guardian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian) on 17 February suggested that one of the objects “may have been amateur hobbyists’ $12 balloon.”[^([7])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_high-altitude_object_events_in_2023#cite_note-7)

If they are balloons, show us the pictures. Just like this one.

People who scream about UFO crashes: where is evidence, where are photos and videos?!

The same people about Alaska UFO shootdown: it’s perfectly okay that there are no photos and videos

What if the government is embarassed by the balloon shootdowns?

Probably because there weren’t U-2s flying over them taking pictures of them.
