White House soothes, after already four downed ‘objects’: “No indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity” | Abroad

There is no indication that aliens were involved in the flying objects the United States shot down recently. A spokesman for the White House said: A top US official previously refused to rule out such scenarios.

The US authorities have shot down four flying objects in a short time. The first object was a giant Chinese balloon that was shot out of the sky early this month and, according to the US, was used for espionage. Beijing continues to claim it was just a weather balloon that went off course.

The Americans have been on edge ever since: after the incident with the Chinese spy balloon, fighter jets shot down two unidentified objects a little later. This happened off the coast of Alaska and above northern Canada. Yesterday another ‘object’ was shot out of the sky over Lake Huron.

Speculation

Because the authorities themselves remain fairly mysterious about the objects, social media and beyond are gambled / joked about a possible alien invasion. So did Tesla boss and Twitter boss Elon Musk: “Don’t worry. It’s just some of my friends coming over,” the flamboyant American wrote on Twitter yesterday, accompanied by two appropriate emoji of an alien and a UFO.

A statement from a senior US general has not exactly stopped speculation. When asked by a journalist whether the Department of Defense can rule out aliens behind the objects, US Northern Command commander Glen VanHerck said: “I’ll leave it to the intelligence and counterintelligence agencies to sort that out. I’m not ruling anything out at the moment.”


“Do not worry”

The White House hushed during a press conference today: “I know there are questions and concerns about this (about the downed flying objects), but there is no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity,” White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said. House. “I want the American people to know that.”

Another spokesman said the US “doesn’t yet know” what the objects are. At least they wouldn’t be seen as a threat to people on the ground. “The American people should not be concerned about aliens when it comes to these craft,” said John Kirby, White House National Security Council spokesman.
