This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.askapoluaps.comThis summer, Alaska’s two US senators told Ask a Pol they were briefed on the object the US Air Force claims to have shot down over Alaska on Feb. 10, 2023, but, when pressed, they told us, they had not seen any images. Now, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) exclusively tells Ask a Pol she has seen photos. "We've seen the images, but we haven’t — we never retrieved the thing,” Murkowski tells us. Ask a Pol has you covered at the Capitol. Consider covering us? As for the appearance of the object? “Like a gauzy balloon,” Murkowski says. “It looked like a balloon.” In July, Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) told Ask a Pol he hadn’t seen video or pictures of the downed craft, adding, “I do think there’s more questions.” Matt Laslo’s a veteran congressional correspondent, new media prof. & founder of Ask a Pol — a new, people-powered press corps, asking your questions at the Capitol. @Ask_a_Pol (or @askpols).AUDIO PAID version — Straight to Sen.
