Romania sends out fighter jets because of unknown objects.

Romania sent fighter jets into the air on Saturday after something unknown entered its airspace. This is the second time this week that Romania has done this because of something unidentified flying near the Black Sea.

The object was small and flying toward Romania early in the morning. The Romanian Ministry of Defense said they couldn't see it on radar after a while.

Romania is part of the European Union and NATO, and it shares a long border with Ukraine. Romania has complained before about Russian drones flying into its airspace during the war in Ukraine.

Romania sent two of its own F-16 fighter jets and two Spanish F-18 jets to find the object. The jets couldn't find the object, and it disappeared from their radar systems.

This is similar to what happened on Thursday when Romania also sent up fighter jets. The object on Thursday was also not found.
