Neither extraterrestrials nor Chinese: the United States revealed more details on the three objects downed in recent days

The United States believes that the three flying objects it has shot down in recent days are unrelated to the Chinese regime and could be completely harmless entities used for commercial or research purposes, it said on Tuesday. John Kirbyone of the White House spokespersons.

Kirby stressed, however, that this information is provisional and that Joe Biden’s government continues to search for the remains of these three objects for analysis and get a better idea of ​​its nature.

“At this time, and I would point out that this is only at this time, we have not seen any indication or anything that indicates the specific possibility that these three objects are part of the spy program of the People’s Republic of China, or that they were involved in some kind of intelligence gathering,” he said in a call with reporters.

Kirby revealed that US intelligence was considering the possibility that the objects were linked to commercial or investigative entities and that they were “quite benign”.

For his part, the Chief of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Marc Milleyconfirmed on Tuesday that the first missile launched against the flying object shot down on Sunday as it flew over Lake Huron did not hit the target and that a second shot was required which destroyed the balloon.

“On the fourth (flying object), over Lake Huron, the first shot was missed. The second blow has landed,” Milley said at a press conference after the meeting of the coalition of more than 50 countries that support Ukraine, held today in Brussels.

Although he acknowledged that in the first case the first shot had missed, he pointed out that on the other three flying objects (over the Atlantic, over Alaska and over the Canadian Yukon), the target was hit in one shot.

The US military shot down another unidentified flying object last Sunday, this time as it flew over Lake Huron in the north of the country.

Milley stressed on Tuesday that the “most important thing” for the US military is to “protect the people” of the country and that it assesses the risk of the balloons themselves and the shots to bring them down.

“We are doing everything we can to make sure the airspace is clear, the outlook is clear,” he said, adding that the missile failed on the first shot and landed “harmlessly” in Lake Huron.

He added that the remains of the flying objects shot down over Alaska, Lake Huron and the Canadian Yukon have yet to be recovered.

“We will eventually get them back, but it will take time to get them back,” he said.

On February 4, the United States shot down a Chinese spy balloon over Atlantic waters off South Carolina, and in the past three days it has shot down three more flying objects in its territory and in Canada, which they have not yet been able to confirm its origin.

After the Chinese spy balloon incident, the Biden government accused the Chinese executive of having developed, with the participation of its armed forces, a “program” of spy balloons, which have already flown over more than 40 countries on five continents.

For its part, the Chinese regime assured that the first object shot down was a weather balloon which deviated from its trajectory and denounced that at least ten American balloons flew over China last year, which the United States denies .
