Polish President Andrzej Duda called an emergency security meeting after the object appeared on radar, and 200 police officers have searched the area near the town of Hrubieszow where the radar detected the object in case it landed in Polish territory, the BBC reported. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
Poland’s defense forces said the object penetrated about 24 miles into its airspace and left it after less than three minutes.
