The US does not know the “origin and form of hovering in the air” of downed flying objects

Ministry of Defence USA The origin of the three unidentified flying objects is currently unknown (UFO) shot down in the last three days in the US and Canada and cannot yet confirm if they are Chinese, as well as the spy balloon shot down on the 4th.

In a press call, Under Secretary of Defense and Hemispheric Affairs Melissa Dalton explained that both devices shot down this afternoon over Lake Huron in Michigan, as well as the previous two in Canada and Alaska, were killed.” as a precaution,” and he stressed that “there was no collateral damage in any of the operations last week.”

As explained by Dalton and the head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), General Glen VanHerke, part of the remnants of the object shot down in Michigan may have fallen into the Canadian waters of Lake Huron and is in constant contact with the government of this country, both for demolition operations and and to collect remains.

Maximum safety in the sky

Since the Chinese spy balloon was spotted and shot down a few days later, the US Department of Defense stepped up surveillance of its airspace, Dalton said, which “partially” explains the increase in the number of objects detected in recent days.

The Deputy Secretary of State acknowledged that it is possible that there are many objects flying over the country whose purpose is not harmful, for example, artifacts for “legitimate research”, but since none of those killed these days could be identified, the President decided to take them down. For caution.”

The United States continues to call “objects”, without going into his description, of these devices, and General Van Herk said that for this reason he does not classify them as balloons, and the one that was shot down on February 4 was “obviously” a balloon.

He acknowledged that they could be devices “with some kind of balloon inside”, although they could also be powered by a propulsion system. He insisted anyway that they were going to analyze the remains in order to be able to give more information about it.

The person in charge of the Norad insisted that there were no “hostile” actions on the part of these devices, but if an object an unidentified person enters US or Canadian airspace, they will always try to identify him and find out if he poses a threat.

In this case, the governments of Canada and USA discuss and assess whether it could pose a threat to their national security, for example, if it flies over important defense areas such as missile silos, if it could affect the security of civil aviation, or if it could pose a danger to people on land.

And if any of these cases occur, you must act as it is done today, VanHerke stressed.

Protective Measures

When an object shot down on Sunday, the Pentagon agreed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to close airspace in the area where he was located.

The person in charge of the Norad explained that he ordered the pilots to “use visual acuity”, to ensure that there were no aircraft in space and that there was no damage on the ground, as well as to minimize possible collateral damage and when they felt comfortable. fired or made using a 9x rocket is the “best weapon” for the occasion.

The craft shot down this Sunday afternoon while flying over Lake Huron is the third.”an objectneutralized in the last three days in North America, after being shot down on Friday over Alaska and on Saturday in Canada, and comes eight days after the shooting down of an alleged Chinese spike ball that flew over the country for several days until it was shot down in Atlantic waters .

On the orders of President Joe Biden, an Air Force F-16 shot down this new craft at 14:42 (1942 GMT) at 20,000 feet, according to a Department of Defense statement. , just over 6,000 meters above sea level. EFE
