The White House assured on Monday that there are “no signs of extraterrestrial activity” after several flying craft were shot down by the US military in recent days.
“I know there are questions and concerns about this, but there are no signs of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent episodes,” said Karine Jean-Pierre, at a press conference, referring to balloons and flying objects that flew over the United States and Canada and were eventually shot down by the armed forces.
At the same press conference the spokesman for the National Security Council did not provide many details about the downed flying objects or the possibility that they were equipped with surveillance equipment.
“We are not sure whether or not they were equipped with surveillance equipment, but we cannot rule that out,” a National Security Council source said.
However, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned today that his country will continue to act against unidentified flying objects in its airspace to ensure “the safety” of the population.
“We take this very seriously,” Trudeau explained, referring to the flying devices detected in North America in recent weeks, adding that intelligence agencies are using diplomatic channels to learn more about these mechanisms.
After last week the United States shot down a Chinese balloon allegedly a spy — and which Beijing said served only meteorological purposes and deviated from its original route — Washington on Sunday ordered the downing of another flying object flying over Lake Huron , on the Canadian border.
This was the fourth flying object to be neutralized since US fighter jets shot down the Chinese balloon off the coast of North Carolina on February 4.
On Sunday, the US Department of Defense said it did not know the origins of the three devices shot down in the US and Canada in recent days, adding that it still cannot confirm whether they are Chinese, such as the spy balloon launched in North Carolina. has been shot. .
