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

Published

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

Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashes in India en route to London, injuring passengers amidst safety and production challenges for Boeing.

In Short:
An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, while flying to London, injuring many passengers. This incident poses significant issues for Boeing, which is already dealing with safety concerns, and has prompted condolences from both Indian and U.K. leaders.

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner, operated by Air India, crashed in Ahmedabad, India, on June 12, 2025, while en route to London’s Gatwick Airport.

The aircraft departed at 1:38 p.m. local time with 230 passengers, including 169 Indians, 53 British, one Canadian, and seven Portuguese nationals.

Air India confirmed that injured passengers are being taken to nearby hospitals.

The 787 Dreamliner had operated for 14 years without a fatal incident before this crash.

Boeing response

Boeing expressed awareness of the situation and is gathering more information, although shares dropped drastically following the news.

This incident presents a significant challenge for Boeing, which has faced safety and production issues recently.

Local media reported smoke emanating from the crash site, and emergency responders were seen transporting individuals on stretchers.

The plane lost location data at 625 feet altitude and descending at 475 feet per minute before the crash.

The incident occurred in a residential area, prompting condolences from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who stated his government will assist local authorities.

Air India, recently acquired by Tata Sons, has been navigating difficulties as the former state-run carrier.

The jet crash is part of a troubling year for aviation, following other serious incidents, including a 2018-2019 Boeing 737 MAX crash that resulted in over 300 fatalities.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed concern for affected families as the situation unfolds.
