US calls off search for unidentified aerial objects shot down over Alaska, Lake Huron
The United States has called off a search for two unidentified aerial objects that were shot down by the military over Alaska and Lake Huron, respectively, last week.
US media reports said on Friday that the conditions were deemed by officials as too difficult to continue the search for any possible remains of the objects.
Canada is continuing to search for the unidentified aerial object that was taken down by the American military over the territory of Yukon, according to US media reports.
The US military reported shooting down three objects in or near US airspace last weekend on the heels of the Feb. 4, 2023, American fighter jets shooting down of a Chinese balloon that drifted across the continental US that officials had designed to conduct surveillance activities.
The first of the three objects were downed over Alaska, the second over Canada and the third was over Lake Huron near Michigan when the US military shot them down.
When the media asked Glen VanHerck, the Air Force general responsible for overseeing North American airspace, about these events, he refused to rule out extraterrestrial forces at play.
"We’re calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason," he insisted.
Other military officials later clarified that extraterrestrial UFOs were not a serious consideration, but the comment highlighted the US government’s lack of knowledge about the objects that were shot down.
However, the US did announce on Tuesday that there is no evidence that the unidentified aerial objects shot down by the US military were connected to China or any other foreign country “spying” in or near the United States.
Earlier this month, the US jet fighters shot down a suspected Chinese "spying" balloon in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Carolina, fueling tensions between the two sides.
The US alleged that the unmanned balloon had been designed to detect and collect intelligence signals.
China, however, said the balloon was merely conducting weather research and had accidentally drifted off course, strongly criticizing US officials for "overreacting."
