Last week, the United States took down three unidentified flying objects over Alaska, Canada and Lake Huron. But the search for the debris is difficult. According to Washington, it is possible that the downed objects will never surface.
The US government has warned the public that the debris from the three mysterious flying objects that were shot down may never be found. People are still looking for the debris, said National Security Council communications director John Kirby on Friday in Washington. One has to accept the possibility that they may never be found. Shooting down the objects was "absolutely" not an overreaction. "It was just the right thing, just the right time," Kirby said.
Within a few days, the US military first shot down a Chinese balloon suspected of being used for espionage purposes and then three other unidentified flying objects - one over Alaska, one over Canada and one over Lake Huron in the north of the USA. US President Joe Biden explained that the three objects were probably on their way for research purposes. The US military has now recovered the debris from the Chinese balloon.
Kirby has not confirmed reports that one of the objects may belong to a group of hobby balloon fans from the US state of Illinois. The group "Northern Illinois Bottlecap Ballon Brigade" had told the media that one of their homemade water-filled balloons worth twelve US dollars had disappeared off the coast of Alaska. Since there is no debris, it is not possible to positively identify the objects, Kirby said. The group also did not formally contact the government to claim ownership of any of the objects.
