The dropped objects have not yet been examined.
According to the US administration, there is no indication that the flying objects dropped in North American airspace came from space.
– I know that there have been questions and concerns about the matter, but no, there are no indications of aliens or extraterrestrial activity in connection with these falls, stated the press secretary of the White House Karine Jean-Pierre.
On Sunday, a representative of the US Air Force said that it does not rule out extraterrestrial activity or any other explanation for the background of the unidentified flying objects.
Four targets have been shot down in the United States and Canada in recent days. One of them is likely a balloon sent from China, possibly used to spy on the United States. For the time being, there is no information about the origin of the other three. The items have fallen into the water or far away in an uninhabited area.
White House National Security Spokesperson John Kirby said that the objects do not appear to have been a danger to people. They also don’t seem to have had their own ability to move. It is not yet known whether they were intended to spy on targets in the United States.
According to him, the almost simultaneous object sightings were partly due to the fact that the area’s radar systems had been adjusted to look for slow-moving objects like this.
An unidentified object was dropped on the north coast of Alaska on Friday. On Saturday, a cylindrical object was dropped in Yukon, Canada, and on Sunday, fighter jets dropped what was described as an octagonal object on the US-Canada border lake, Lake Huron.
John Kirby rejected China’s accusations that the US has sent spy planes into Chinese airspace.
