During Monday’s White House daily press briefing, administration officials gave an update on the three aerial objects shot down by the U.S. military. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, “There is no indication of aliens of extraterrestrial activity”
, coordinator for strategic communications for the National Security Council, did not identify what the objects were, saying that debris had not yet been recovered as they were in remote areas.But he told reporters that President Joe Biden ordered the objects shot down after it was determined that, flying between 20,000 and 40,000 feet, they posed a potential threat to civilian aircraft.
Kirby said that the Chinese do have a “high altitude balloon program” that has “limited additive capability” that could become more valuable to them in the future.“We are going to learn from these three events. We are going to continue to study what happened,” he said. Kirby said that the administration is taking a closer scrutiny of unidentified aerial phenomenon and “we are finally trying to understand them better.” He also said that NORAD has recently been more closely scrutinizing airspace, something that “may increase [the number] of objects detected.”
The U.S. military shot down an object, flying at about 40,000 feet in northern Alaska, on Friday. Then, on Saturday, another object, flying over Canada’s Yukon territory, was downed after Biden consulted with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. On Sunday, another object, flying at about 20,000 feet, was shot down over Lake Huron. It was described as in an octagon shape with strings attached to it.“I don’t think the American people need to worry about aliens,” he said.
