U.S. can’t rule out aliens as spy balloons saga widens

U.S. officials say they have been unable to determine who or what is behind the airborne objects

The U.S. military has been unable to determine the country of origin or uncover any further information relating to the three airborne objects shot down over North America.

The head of the Northern Command and North American Airspace, Glen VanHerck, is even reluctant to call them balloons, noting officials are “labeling them [as] objects for a reason.

This has sparked further speculation over who or what is responsible for the devices.

VanHerk was asked about the possibility of aliens as the source behind the objects.

Earlier, The U.S. Pentagon confirmed a fighter jet shot down an airborne object over Lake Huron.

Officials say the object was not assessed to be a military threat, but was a flight hazard and had potential surveillance capabilities.

A team has been sent out to recover the device and examine the wreckage.

Washington has been on high alert since its military destroyed a suspected Chinese spy balloon just days ago.

The balloon was tracked across the continental U.S. before it was shot down off the coast of South Carolina.

China is continuing to deny it was being used for spying.

Here’s a timeline for you:

On February 4 the U.S. military shoots down suspected surveillance balloon off the coast of South Carolina.

On the 10th Biden orders officials to destroy another object off northern Alaska. This device lacked any propulsion capabilities or control.

A day later on the 11th, an American fighter jet shoots down a “high-altitude airborne object” over Canada. This was smaller than the first balloon.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau says it “violated Canadian airspace.”

And on the 12th, the military shoots down a fourth high-altitude object near Lake Huron “out of an abundance of caution”.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Beijing was likely using a “crew of balloons” that have “probably been all over the world.” #trending #featured
