After the downing of what the U.S. Government says is a Chinese spy balloon, a flurry of other unidentified objects were shot down across North America this week. Paul Fetkowitz, president of Kaymont Consolidated Industries, which makes the vast majority of weather and military balloons in the United States, explains how common high-altitude balloons are, what they're used for, why so many were shot down this week, and why we probably shouldn't freak out about it all.

The president of one of the country's largest manufacturers of balloons says the number and scope of balloons and other objects should not have come as a surprise to officials.

Four objects, including a Chinese spy balloon, have been shot down over the last week in American and Canadian airspace. Monday, U.S. officials spoke about the decision to shoot down the objects and revealed more about China's balloon program. Former NORAD director of operations and retired Canadian Major General Scott Clancy joined Amna Nawaz to discuss the latest.

As more unidentified objects were shot down by the U.S. Air Force in recent days, experts warned that there were an “endless” array of potential targets.
