U.S. claims complicate UFO downing case: ‘We can’t recover wreckage’


A White House spokesman said the U.S. currently has “no indication” that the three recently shot down flying objects in North America were of Chinese origin or were used for espionage purposes, but said it was trying to to hide the fact that it is now very difficult to extract the wreckage.

The three “objects” could be “commercial or scientific peaceful balloons,” John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said on the situation, as at the same time he states that the fighters were tracking what they shot down. Kirby was not referring to the first “balloon” shot down on February 4, which Washington insists was a Chinese spy. The spokesman noted that no one has yet found three objects, because due to bad weather conditions it is difficult to find their wreckage!

From Brussels, where he is at the NATO summit, US General Mark Milley confirmed that the first of two rockets fired Sunday by an F-16 fighter jet at one of those targets over Lake Huron missed and fell into the water. “Of course, we tracked her path to the very bottom,” he told reporters. Reuters reported on Monday that one of the missiles had misfired.

Formerly US Air Defense Chief General Glenn Van Herck declaredthat the Pentagon has not yet been able to gather more information about the origin, purpose and mechanism of the three objects shot down over the past three days. Asked if he ruled out aliens, Vanherke said: “I will let the intelligence community and the counterintelligence community sort this out. I don’t rule anything out.” However, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that the military saw no evidence that the objects were extraterrestrial in origin. He also clarified that these UFOs have nothing to do with the Chinese balloon that was shot down last week.
