So this is an older video, but the DOD has since said they did not recover anything from the shootdown in Alaska. They confirmed they had recovered it here.

    One of the objects was highly suspected of being an open source high altitude balloon project which went missing at the time of the shootdown after it had circled the earth a few times already. It was solar powered and checked in at regular intervals and stopped after the shootdown. It was meant to be in the location of one shootdown, so they are sure it was that.
    It’s embarrassing for the government to say they shot down a science experiment so they say nothing.
