All weekend long US officials have been trying to identify three unidentified objects that have been shot down in the skies over the US and Canada in recent days.

However, the response of General Glenn VanHurke impressedCommander, Air Force Northern Command. Asked during a press conference on Sunday if he had ruled out extraterrestrial origins, he said: “I’m not ruling anything out at the moment.”

But national security officials have dismissed any suggestion that what the Air Force shot down represented any extraterrestrial aliens. According to a senior official, no one believes that these things are anything other than devices built here on Earth.

Luis Elizondo, the military intelligence officer who led the Pentagon’s UFO program until 2017, spoke out. But he said the Biden administration needs to find a way to be vigilant about what’s going on in the skies over America, rather than “chasing tails” every time something unknown comes up — a difficult task, he said.

US officials say they are reviewing video from other sensors collected by US pilots who spotted the objects before they were destroyed. However, the exact nature of the items, where they came from and what they were intended for, will not be confirmed until the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police carefully examine the wreckage.
