(DCWatchdog.com) – The White House officially stated the US government has seen “no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity” in the three UFOs that the Air Force downed over North America during the weekend.
On Friday, US military aviators shot down a small flying object off Alaska’s coast. That was followed by the downing of a second object over Canada’s Yukon territory on Saturday. Finally, on Sunday, the US Air Force brought down another unidentified flying object at the US-Canadian border over Lake Huron.
The three incidents over the past weekend came after, on February 4, the US military shot down what was known to have been a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina.
The “no aliens” declaration by President Joe Biden’s Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, came after on Sunday NORAD commander Gen. Glen VanHerck said he wouldn’t rule out a potentially “extraterrestrial” origin of the downed UFOs.
“I just want to make sure we address this from the White House,” Jean-Pierre stated at the start of her briefing, as cited by The New York Post.
“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,” she added.
The US government has not released any materials about three unidentified flying objects that the Air Force shot down over the weekend.
Officials from the Defense Department and the White House have not specified the aircraft types and have only said they were much smaller than the recently downed Chinese spy balloon.
The report claimed their debris had not even been recovered yet from Alaska’s coast and the “Canadian wilderness.”
“I loved ‘ET’ the movie, but I’m sure going to leave it there,” Biden’s spokeswoman said.
Adm. John Kirby, the White House National Security Council spokesman, confirmed later in the briefing that there had been no evidence of “aliens.”
“I don’t think the American people need to worry about aliens with respect to these craft. Period. I don’t think there’s any more that needs to be said there,” Kirby stated.
He added the newly downed objects seemed to be floating thanks to the winds.
“They did not appear to have any self-propulsion. So the likely hypothesis is they were being moved by the prevailing winds,” the NSC spokesman said.
He dismissed criticism over how the government has been handling the recent “flying objects,” starting with the Chinese surveillance airship.
“Because we have not yet been able to definitively assess what these most recent objects are, we acted out of an abundance of caution to protect our security, our interests, and flight safety,” Kirby said.
His and Jean-Pierre’s comments invited numerous social media comments.
“And that’s how the movie starts…” one Twitter user wrote.
“John Kirby looks like an actor in a Sci-Fi film where the Central Casting US Politician comforts us from the notion of aliens, then dies in a blast from the aliens,” wrote another.
What is your opinion? Putting aside the recent balloons that have been shot down, do you believe intelligent life has visited Earth from outer space? Please share your views by emailing [email protected]. Thank you.
