Many North Americans were tuning into this past weekend's Super Bowl. Elsewhere, others were feeling rising anxiety over the increasing number of UFOs appearing over the continent this month. It all began with the Chinese spy balloon, which was previously shot down under President Joe Biden's orders. Since then, three more unidentified aerial items have been shot down across Canada and the U.S.
The most recent was first spotted on Saturday (February 11) over Michigan's Great Lakes. Authorities were quick to remove it, announcing that airspace in the area was shut down on Sunday. The UFO was apparently a potential risk to human air travel, resulting in its removal.
As the news continues to spread, many have been speculating about the potential of alien involvement. In fact, even NORAD Commander and General, Glen Van Herck, has said that he's "not ruling out the possibility of extraterrestrial activity." However, on Monday (February 13), the White House made attempts to shut down this narrative in a press conference.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made it clear that the Biden Administration does not believe otherworldly creatures are to blame for the sudden UFO surge. "There is no indication of aliens or extra-terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Again, there is no indication of aliens or terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns," she explicitly stated.
The speaker acknowledged that the White House is aware of the circulating theories. Still, they remain sure that this isn't an E.T.-related incident. However, as TMZ notes, Jean-Pierre – or National Security who spoke after her – were able to provide clear answers regarding the aerial objects.
During his time on the podium, NSK spokesman John Kirby explained that the U.S. still hasn't been able to properly assess their latest finds. At this time, the process of collecting material from the discovery location and subsequently studying it is still unfolding. The details he could provide reveal that the latest UFOs "had no discernable communication systems, no propulsion systems and no real maneuvering capabilities."
The mysterious creations also had no passengers when they went down. The government says they're not balloon-type crafts, like the Chinese balloon was, though they can't find an accurate way to describe them just yet. As lawmakers continue to demand answers, Biden has authorized an inter-agency team. This brings the State Department, Defense Department, and Office of National Intelligence together for further investigation on the matter.
Do you think the Biden Administration is being honest about the lack of alien involvement in the UFOs? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for any updates.
