Four objects have been shot down by US aviation in the last 10 days, leading to debate about what is being shot down and why these events are being reported more and more.
Last Sunday, on Lake Huron, the US military shot down the object, which they still sought to recover.
The first object to be shot down was a giant Chinese balloon that was drifting off the coast of South Carolina on February 4. An F-22 plane was tasked with destroying it, and China said it was conducting a weather investigation.
It was described as a gondola the size of three buses. and that it weighed more than a ton.
Why talking about UFOs does not mean referring to aliens
Instead, last Friday, US warplanes shot down another object, but off the coast of Alaska. It lacked any propulsion or control system, according to authorities.
On February 11, a US F-22 plane shot down another “high-altitude airborne object,” over Yukon in Canada. This was cylindrical in shape and smaller in the first globe.
China, for its part, accused the United States of espionage after finding more than ten times that American balloons had flown over its territory in the last year. This was rejected by the White House National Security Council spokesman, John Kirby, questioned by MSNBC.
The US State Department estimated that with this accusation China was trying to “limit” the consequences of its own “spy balloon program”, deployed according to Washington for several years over 40 countries on five continents.
Why have more unidentified flying objects been detected?
Although the term UFO has been associated with extraterrestrials, this should not be related since it refers to all the phenomena that could not be identified for which the nomenclature was changed. The term UFO was replaced in the official language of the United States government by ‘UAP’ (unidentified aerial phenomenon/unidentified aerial phenomena).
General Glen VanHerck, head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad), said that “For now, nothing is ruled out” in response to a question from a journalist about a possible extraterrestrial origin, a phrase that went viral.
Defense Under Secretary for Homeland Security Melissa Dalton said after the giant balloon was detected, adjustments were made to radar systems to detect smaller, slower objects in the atmosphere.
This Monday, however, the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-PierreHe added that “there is no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent shootdowns.”
Jean-Pierre even joked about ET. “I love ET the movie, but I’ll leave it there,” joked the official.
He added that it was important that they say so given the speculation that was taking place.
Analysts say U.S. and Canadian intelligence is constantly receiving large amounts of raw data and generally discarding some to focus on missile threats, not slow-moving objects like balloons.
“Now of course we are tracking them. So I think we’ll probably find more stuff,” Jim Himes, the top Democratic representative on the House Intelligence Committee, told NBC. (YO)
