White House gives update on mysterious objects as concerns mount

Published

Bipartisan calls are growing louder for President Joe Biden to formally address the American people

While there are mounting questions surrounding the recently shot-down high-altitude objects, the White House Press Secretary was able to rule out one possibility.

“There is no, again no, indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” said Karine Jean-Pierre.

On February 4, the U.S. Airforce shot down a Chinese spy balloon that the Pentagon has confirmed is part of China’s massive intelligence surveillance program run by the Chinese military.

The U.S. Navy continues its salvage efforts in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Carolina to recover that pay load.

Then on Friday, a second small object was shot down over northern Alaska.

On Saturday a third object was shot down over the Yukon and on Sunday a fourth object was shot down near Canadian airspace over Lake Huran.

On Monday, National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby delivered an update and was asked about the repeated breach of U.S. airspace.

A reporter asked Kirby, “When it comes to these higher altitudes, are America’s borders secure?”

“The President takes as I said earlier, he takes our national security extremely seriously, he has no higher responsibility than the safety and security of the American people,” Kirby said.

“And I don’t think you need to look any further quite frankly than the decisions he’s made in the last week to 10 days to evidence that.”

During a reporter’s follow-up question, Kirby was asked if the President is plugging holes as he discovers vulnerabilities in real-time.

“You’re making an assumption that I don’t know that the analysis will actually bear out,” Kirby responded.

The U.S. has now shot down more aerial objects over U.S. territory since Pearl Harbor back in 1941.

Bipartisan calls are growing louder for President Joe Biden to formally address the American people on this serious issue reading America’s national security.

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.

Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.

Greenland, Denmark assert Arctic island not for sale, emphasizing cooperation with the US on their own terms.


Greenland and Denmark have used high-level talks in Washington, D.C. to firmly restate that the Arctic island is not for sale, pushing back against long-standing US interest in the strategically vital territory.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.

Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.
