Recently, the United States Military has been shooting down UFOs above the country. So far there have been four unidentified objects that have been shot down and investigated. The government has said that these UFOs are harmless since they did not possess any communication signals. Although the government has been able to tranquilize the people, this incident has left them wondering, What is this object?
Aliens?
The most popular theory of all is that this UFO is an extraterrestrial. This is a valid assumption that many people feel thrilled about. But fortunately, it has been confirmed that it is not out of this world. “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,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
“I don’t think the American people need to worry about aliens with respect to these crafts, period,” said White House spokesperson John Kirby. Many U.S. officials have clarified that this has nothing to do with aliens. The material by which these UFOs were made is not unknown and it had no signs of vital life inside it.
However, U.S. officials have confirmed that this object was used for surveillance purposes. Which does indeed sound like it is aliens spying on us. Despite all these speculations, the government has ruled out the possibility of the UFO being of alien origins. This means that these objects are man-made and it is urgent to find who made them.
Other possibilities
The U.S. is working on identifying the origin of this foreign object and why was it spying. Glen VanHerck commander of U.S. Northern Command said “was clearly a balloon. These are objects. I’m not able to categorize how they stay aloft.” U.S. officials also believe that this UFO belongs to China and that they were the ones spying on us, but there is no concrete evidence still.
The latest UFO was detected on Saturday, around 4:45 p.m. ET. It was first over Canada then it made its way to the U.S. It was last seen above Montana and wasn’t seen again until it reached Wisconsin. After the reappearance, it was knocked down and fell into what is probably Canadian Waters.
Even though these objects have been claimed harmless, the altitude and their path are of great concern. These objects were flying about around 40,000 feet in altitude which is around the same level that commercial aircraft fly at. “Today, a high-altitude object was detected in U.S. airspace over Lake Huron. NORAD launched Canadian and U.S. aircraft to investigate and the object was taken down in U.S. airspace by U.S. aircraft,” stated Anita Anand the Canadian defense minister.
What’s Next?
United States President Joe Biden has spoken about this matter to the public and said that these objects are to be taken down on sight which was recommended to him by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. The United States and Canada will be dealing with this problem together since it is a concern to both countries. “We unequivocally support this action, and we’ll continue to work with the U.S. and NORAD to protect North America,” said Anita Anand.
Since the government is working on bringing to light the truth of this UFO, there is not much the people can do but wait for further news. This object will not harm or become a threat to the U.S. so it is not a worrying problem, to the people at least. Hopefully, more information about this comes out soon but as of right now, these UFOs remain a mystery.
