According to the White House, the unidentified flying objects could have been research or commercial balloons.
WASHINGTON - A White House spokesman said on Tuesday that three unidentified flying objects shot down from North American airspace may have been balloons used for commercial or research purposes that did not directly threaten the United States. According to the information we have so far, the intelligence community is looking at the possibility that these balloons are simply tied to a commercial or benign purpose as a leading explanation, according to spokesman John Kirby. Nobody has expressed a willingness to take responsibility.

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
How does AI work? As the hype around AI has accelerated, vendors have been scrambling to promote how their products and services use AI. Often what they refer to as AI is simply one component of AI, such as machine learning. AI requires a foundation of specialized hardware and software for writing and training machine learning algorithms. No one programming language is synonymous with AI, but a few, including Python, R and Java, are popular.

Doctor Who: Love and War Review
Back in 2012, as part of the anniversary celebrations marking 20 years since the creation of Bernice Summerfield, Big Finish decided to mark such a momentous occasion with the release of an audio adaptation of "Love and War", the 1992 book which introduced Bernice Summerfield for the first time. Not only did this mean that Lisa Bowerman would depict the very first story to feature Bernice Summerfield, but also it marked a chance for Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred to depict the circumstances of the Doctor and Ace's parting: an event talked about for years, but never performed by the actors. In many ways, then, this was a hugely significant release, and there was a lot of anticipation for it from fans of the classic series' final few years, and those who followed the books in the early 1990s too. And it is safe to say that "Love and War" is a triumph: not only did it spawn a further nine Novel Adaptations, but it managed to distil one of the most popular New Adventures into a two-hour release that never feels overly compressed or rushed. As such, it stands as one of the best adaptations Big Finish has ever done, whether it be a Doctor Who novel or as part of their Big Finish Classics range.

#60yearsofJamesBond: Goldfinger
The year is 1964. The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" was at number 1, BBC Two was launched, Harold Wilson became UK Prime Minister, the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination rumbled on, and Dalekmania swept the classrooms of the United Kingdom. And, on the 17th of September, the third Bond film, "Goldfinger", launched the franchise to stratospheric levels of popularity. The first two James Bond films, "Dr. No" and "From Russia With Love", had been hugely successful, but the success of "Goldfinger" was on another level. It was the first Bond film with a budget befitting its blockbuster status; it was the first Bond film with a title song, sung by the legendary Shirley Bassey; it was the first Bond film to feature the Aston Martin DB5, with all the gadgets and tricks we know and love; and it was the first Bond film to be directed by legendary Bond director Guy Hamilton, who brought a whole new style and glossy look to the Bond franchise. In many ways, "Goldfinger" became the yardstick: the film against which every Bond film since has been measured against. It remains one of the most commercially successful entries in the franchise's history, and it has gone on to be hailed by critics and fans of the series as the best Bond film in the franchise's 60 year history. It has been parodied, emulated and spoofed hundreds of times over, perhaps most notably by the Austin Powers franchise. Nevertheless, "Goldfinger" remains an icon for the best of the Bond series, and stands today as not only the best instalment of the series to feature original lead actor Sean Connery, but also one of the strongest instalments of the series full stop.
