The White House assured this Monday that there are no “signs of extraterrestrial activity”, after several flying devices have been shot down by the US military in recent days.

Even so, the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, warned on Monday that his country will continue to act against unidentified flying objects in its airspace, to “guarantee the safety” of the population.
“We take this very seriously,” Trudeau explained, referring to the flying devices that have been detected in recent weeks in North America, adding that intelligence services are using diplomatic channels to learn more about these mechanisms.
