China says the balloon shot down by the US was an unmanned airship made for meteorological research that had been blown off course. That event played out over livestream. It has accused the US of overreacting by shooting it down and threatened to take unspecified action in response. The Chinese allegation comes after the US shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon that had crossed from Alaska to South Carolina, sparking a new crisis in bilateral relations that have spiralled to their lowest level in decades.

Are they out there? US general refuses to rule out aliens after three ... (LBC)

A US general has refused to rule out aliens as he spoke about a series of shoot downs of unidentified objects.

The object was flying at a level that posed a risk to civilian aircraft. "The UK and her allies will review what these airspace intrusions mean for our security. I haven't ruled out anything," he said. The cylindrical object was flying at about 40,000 ft – posing a risk to civilian planes. Since the balloon, the air force shot down a car-sized object off the coast of northern Alaska, before Canada ordered aircraft to intercept an object flying over the Yukon territory. "We did not assess it to be a kinetic military threat to anything on the ground, but assess it was a safety flight hazard and a threat due to its potential surveillance capabilities."

Aliens Not Ruled Out Amid Recent Shootdowns (GameSpot)

A high-ranking US military official has said the government cannot rule out aliens amid the unprecedented shootdown of mysterious aircraft in recent days ...

We are ready to receive the news, "We are not alone, we never have been alone." Tsoukalos, the TV presenter famously known for the TV show Ancient Aliens and the "aliens" meme, is ready for the government to tell us the aliens are coming. The object shot down over remote Alaska was described by officials as being "cylindrical," and it had a payload of some kind. According to Pentagon officials, there is no precedent for this level of action against objects in the sky outside of wartime. The object was "octagonal, with strings hanging off," but had no discernible payload--it was flying at the relatively low altitude of about 20,000 feet, a senior administration official told the AP. The first was a Chinese spy balloon that the US shot down over the Atlantic Ocean on February 4 off the coast of South Carolina.

Top US general not ruling out aliens after military shoots down 3 UFOs (New York Post)

But the Pentagon says it has not found evidence to indicate Earthly visits from intelligent alien life. Analysis of military sightings are conducted by the ...

The military was planning to retrieve it from the water to learn about its origin. It was shot out of the sky with an AIM9x missile about 20,000 feet over Lake Huron. The government’s effort to investigate anomalous, unidentified objects — whether they are in space, the skies or even underwater — has led to hundreds of documented reports that are being investigated, senior military leaders have said. The incidents come as the Pentagon has undertaken a new push in recent years to investigate military sightings of UFOs — rebranded in official government parlance as “unidentified aerial phenomena” or UAPs. VanHerck said the military was unable to immediately determine the means by which any of the three latest objects were kept aloft or where they were coming from. Another US defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the military had seen no evidence suggesting any of the objects in question were of extraterrestrial origin.

To remove the notion of “family” and force everyone to work for a new one-world Government. To abolish all religions and replace them with a one-world religion based on the “cult of man”.

The White House on Monday shot down speculation that there may be an extraterrestrial component to recent aerial objects shot down in U.S. airspace in ...

The U.S. He noted that it’s possible there is nothing nefarious about the objects, and they could be connected to a private company or research institution. Officials have said the three objects shot down over the weekend differed from the Chinese spy balloon that was shot down over the water earlier this month. Biden administration officials have provided limited details about the three objects taken down over the weekend, in part because the weather and the way they were taken down have made it difficult to recover the objects. VanHerck, the commander of the Pentagon’s Northern Command, made waves on Sunday when he was asked if officials had ruled out the possibility that the objects taken down over the weekend were connected to extraterrestrials.

“I can assure the American people of this: If any of these objects present any danger to the American people or American interest, they will be dealt with appropriately as the last ones have been,” Schumer said on ABC’s The View. “Every element of the government will redouble their efforts to understand and mitigate these events.” One of the reason that we think we’re seeing more is because we’re looking for more. As you heard General VanHerck mention last night, they have modified the filters and the gains — as we call it — of the radar capabilities to look more discreetly at high altitude, small radar cross section, and low speed objects,” Kirby said. Since then, the military is scrutinizing the air space and “adjusting … Kirby said one of the reasons he believes the U.S. A Defense Department official, following the general’s remarks Sunday night, said there is “no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns.” the radar sensitivities, which means we’re seeing more things than we would normally see.” “I know there have been questions and concerns about this, but there is no — again no indication — of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” Jean-Pierre said from the White House podium. Defense officials on Sunday night declined to identify what the three objects shot down over the weekend might be, spurring questions about the potential threats of the objects and why there’s been a string of detections since the Chinese spy balloon. The White House’s head-on approach to the alien question comes after Gen. President Joe Biden has been updated on the recent operations, he said, noting the objects were downed due to air traffic risks, not surveillance threats.

White House Says 'No Indication' Downed UFOs Are Alien (Rolling Stone)

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby of the NSC threw cold water on the idea that the UFOs downed over the U.S. are alien.

Kirby did, however, highlight the extent of China’s surveillance balloon program while speaking to the press on Monday.

'There is no, again no, indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,' the White House Press Secretary said.

But efforts to learn more about the Chinese balloon and its purpose have been slowed by bad weather off the coast of South Carolina. Kirby noted that when Biden came into office, Biden asked for “a broad assessment of Chinese intelligence capabilities.” That assessment found that China was using a “high-altitude” balloon operation to collect intelligence. Adding to the mystery, those three unknown objects were shot down within a week of a U.S. The remaining parts of the object shot off the coast of Alaska have been hard to find because of sea ice, he said, and the unidentified object over Canada fell in an area of remote wilderness.

The Chinese government criticized the balloon’s take down as an “indiscriminate use of force” and has maintained its narrative that the object was a civilian-operated device used for weather research. The president on Monday directed White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to develop an “interagency team” to study the policy implications and risks of unidentified aerial objects. The White House has not ruled out the possibility that the three most recent objects were used for surveillance purposes, but has gathered no evidence thus far to suggest they were, Kirby said, adding that no additional aerial objects had been detected as of Monday. fighter jets took down aerial objects over Alaska on Friday, Canada on Saturday and Lake Huron on Sunday, and while it’s unclear what the three most recent objects were used for, Kirby said Monday the military did not detect any “communication signals” from the devices, though Sen. military shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina on February 4, after it was first spotted over Alaska on January 28. military destroyed over North America in recent days were the product of alien or extraterrestrial activity—a day after a top military commander left open that possibility.
