In a report on flying objects shot down over the past few days, Mr. White Housemoreover, his representative initially clarified that the downed flying objects “are not of extraterrestrial origin.”

With a smile on your face Karine Jean-Pierre mentioned that he loves the movie “ET”, but assures all American citizens that there is no evidence of life on other planets.

From the side John Kirby, A spokesman for the US National Security Council said the United States is aware that China has a balloon program to gather information about the Chinese military.

In fact, he noted that the program in question, identified by the Biden administration, had escaped the attention of the Trump administration.

Kirby then argued that since USA could not determine the characteristics of the objects with certainty, acted with extreme caution in order to protect the interests of the country and flight safety.

Speaking specifically about Saturday’s incident, Kirby said the US acted in consultation with the Canadian government, effectively showing that there was a face-to-face relationship between Joe Biden and President Trudeau.

Kirby also said that Closer monitoring of US airspace may partly explain the increase in sightings. These objects were not thought to pose a danger to people on the ground, but as a precaution they were shot down. There was also no indication that it had maneuverability or propulsion.

These objects had to be shot down, since it could not be ruled out that they were collecting information and could fly over “secret” places. He added that shooting them down with fighters was “the safest and most effective way.”

A U.S. fighter jet shot down an octagonal object over Lake Huron on Sunday, according to the Pentagon. He’s probably “in deep water” right now, Kirby said.

Kirby was repeatedly asked and assured that the US did not send any balloons into Chinese airspace.
