Mere days after an F-22 fighter jet downed a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean, three unidentified flying objects were shot down over Alaska, Canada, and Michigan in just three days. The Biden administration pledged from day one to “bring transparency and truth back to government” but has been eerily silent about what the objects were and why they were shot down.
Not only has President Joe Biden gone days without saying anything about the downed objects, but even the Pentagon refused to give clear answers to reporters or the public about the unusual activity in the sky.
U.S. officials have said they don’t know what the objects, which clock in at the size of a small car, are. They claim they don’t know what the objects are capable of nor do they know who sent them. They don’t even know how to hit some of them with a $400,000 missile on the first try.
Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of both U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), went so far as to say the U.S. hasn’t “ruled out anything” including an extraterrestrial threat, a claim the White House rejected on Monday.
That’s a bizarre statement that certainly does not instill confidence in Americans that our financially bloated Department of Defense can properly asses and neutralize threats to U.S. national security.
That also means any reassurance from the Pentagon that “these objects don’t present a military threat to anyone on the ground,”
