![]() ![]() ![]() One of the most notorious UFO sightings was described by former Navy pilot Lt. There have been many reports of UFOs made by credible sources in recent years, including several submitted by US Navy and air force pilots who claim to have witnessed unidentifiable crafts moving in extraordinary ways, both on radar systems and with their own eyes. He added: 'I believe this is the first time within United States or American airspace that NORAD or United States Northern Command has taken kinetic action against an airborne object.' He added: 'We're calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason.' VanMerck said the air force is still unsure how the three objects were staying aloft, as they currently have unknown propulsion systems. 'With some adjustments, we've been able to get a better categorization of radar tracks now,' he said, 'and that's why I think you're seeing these, plus there's a heightened alert to look for this information.' He explained that this radar adjustment, plus the heightened state of alert following the Chinese balloon, explains the frequency of UFO sightings. He added that the since the Chinese balloon was found in late January, the US adjusted its radar so it could track slower objects. VanHerck said that, unlike the Chinese spy balloon, all three UFOs gunned down over the weekend were of a similar size and speed. The one shot down over Canada was shaped like a cylinder, officials said.Ī Chinese balloon was shot down on February 4 over South Carolina, meaning the US air force has now downed four objects in just eight days. The UFO shot down over Alaska has not yet been recovered, though analysts said it was about the size of a car. The object detected Sunday was described by defense officials as an unmanned 'octagonal structure' with 'potential surveillance capabilities' and strings attached to it.Īn F-16 fighter jet shot it down from around 20,000ft over the Great Lakes at 2:42pm - after two other crafts were destroyed over Alaska and Canada on Friday and Saturday. 'At this point we continue to assess every threat or potential threat, unknown, that approaches North America with an attempt to identify it.' I haven't ruled out anything,' VanHerck said. 'I'll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. US Air Force General Glen VanHerck said intelligence services were exploring all avenues - including the notion the three most recent objects could be linked to extraterrestrials. Bush administrations - admonished the air force for having only just noticed the unidentified craft. Meanwhile, Christopher Mellon - former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in the Clinton and George W. His comments came as the Pentagon refused to rule out the possibility that the UFOs shot out of the sky may not be of this world. ![]() Rubio is the Vice Chairman of the US Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence and has long pushed for a 'destigmatization' on UFO reporting. 'This is why I pushed to take this seriously and created a permanent UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena - equivalent to UFOs) task force two years ago.' Republican Rubio tweeted: 'The last 72 hours revealed to the public what was happening for years, unidentified aircraft routinely operating over restricted US airspace. It was the third such downing in three days - and fourth in eight including the Chinese spy balloon shot down on February 4. US Senator Marco Rubio has claimed UFOs have been 'operating over restricted US airspace for years' amid a slew of sightings over America and Canada in recent days.Ī US fighter jet shot down an 'unidentified object' over Lake Huron on Sunday on orders from President Joe Biden. ![]()
