(EFE).- The White House said Monday that “there is no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity” with regard to the three flying objects shot down in recent days by the US military over the US or Canada.
“There is no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at her daily press briefing, adding that she “wanted to make sure that the American people knew that, (that) all of you knew that, and it is important for us to say that from here.”
Her comments come after on Sunday the head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), Gen. Glen VanHerck, said that “I haven’t ruled out anything” regarding the origin of the downed objects.
The US government on Feb. 4 ordered the military to shoot down a Chinese “spy” balloon just off the South Carolina coast and over the past three days the Air Force has shot down three more flying objects over US or Canadian territory, but for the moment nothing about the origin and nature of the objects has been confirmed.
At the same press conference, White House National Security Advisor John Kirby said that although the origin of the three objects downed on the weekend has not yet been determined, he emphasized that, for now, the government is simply calling them “objects” without linking them to the Chinese surveillance balloon.
According to Kirby, President Joe Biden ordered the objects shot down because they were flying at an altitude where they might interfere with commercial airline flights, although it is not believed that they posed any “direct threat” to the public or to US national security.
The administration is “laser-focused” on confirming the nature and purpose of the objects, he said, and “intensive” efforts to collect debris from the balloons and any equipment being carried by them are under way.
The Biden administration last week accused the Chinese government of having developed, with the implied involvement of its armed forces, a “program” of spy balloons, saying that so far such balloons have overflown more than 40 countries on five continents.
In that regard, Kirby said that Beijing began developing that program during the 2017-2021 Donald Trump administration, but Biden had to get into the White House before the program was detected.
“It was operating during the (Trump) administration, but they did not detect it. We detected it. We tracked it, and we have been carefully studying it to learn as much as we can,” Kirby said.
According to the White House, during the Trump presidency, at least three Chinese balloons overflew the United States, although the ex-president has denied this.
Meanwhile, China alleges that the “spy” balloon that the US downed on Feb. 4 was designed to gather meteorological data and has accused Washington of reacting in an exaggerated manner in shooting down that object.

Hey, how dare you misgender the aliens..
Strange how we have the optics to see a rock the size of a golf ball on the moon but cannot get photos of slow flying balloon objects? We can get full media coverage the minute FBI raiders hit a former President’s home, where is layers are denied access to the property, but it takes weeks to get the real results of the 3-4 residences a current President whose lawyers get time to destroy all the evidence. Why is our military shooting balloons to pieces with 100,000 missiles, where just a small bullet hole in the balloon would take in gently down to earth intact to reveal the true extent of the treachery against the American People. Joe has done so much more to protect the Chinese from getting found out than he should have done for our Afghan retreating troops and military supplies, yet the media is totally SILENT? This American socialist secular treachery run silent and runs deep, within a government so badly infiltrated and contaminated since Obama and his pet Pinocchio Puppet Biden took over, we may never recover American Greatness again. America’s problems are not in the potential spy things above, but the spy things within Joe’s sold-out brain and lack of integrity, the real threatening things alien to all that is American. When the Whitehouse gets laser focused, it’s usually only a matter of time before President Joe Yoda cuts off America’s right arm with his own flailing misdirected light saber, and the dark side of the American force wins out.
That’s something i keep wondering myself. WHY USE a HIGH price missile, when less than a single trigger pull of their nose guns, would do the trick?
Looks like it was all a big joke to the binder woman.
Oh wait, am I allowed to say woman, or is she a woman, or if she is a woman does she know what a woman is?
These last balloons were actually launched by the Biden administration so they could “look” good shooting them down. An American aircraft shot down the balloon over Canada so Trudeau didn’t have to waste money on a US scheme. I came up with this devious plan right after putting on my tinfoil hat to protect myself from all those space aliens invading us
ANd it’s telling that they first told us “The one shot up in north canada, WAS over a frozen lake.
BUT now they are saying “it sunk so we can’t recover it”… OR some other lie like that.
Y’all just don’t understand Biden’s strategy, so let me lay it out for you. The first time, it worked perfectly, those that followed, not so much. Here we go; Allow the balloon to complete its job, then shoot it down in water so deep it makes recovery difficult if not impossible. Brilliant.
Biden Stays Out Of Sight As Rumors Swirl About Balloons, UFOs.
They are afraid he might SCREW things up by saying the wrong things. Need to buy him ice cream and keep him quiet.
They’ve buried him back in the basement.
So, his campaign has officially begun?
