18 reactions to the UFOs shot down over America that are simply out of this world
Since late January, North American airspace has been visited by one Chinese spy balloon and three as-yet unidentified objects, all of which have been shot down by the U.S. and Canada.
To be clear — The Chinese Balloon was an authentic UFO until it was identified. It then became an IFO. pic.twitter.com/WI1TWhG9EK

The U.S. Air Force general in charge of policing the airspace, General Glen VanHerck, told press at a briefing that he couldn’t rule out alien involvement.
Now: When asked directly by reporters if the objects in the sky are “aliens or extraterrestrials,” General VanHerck, commander of the Air Force’s Northern Command, says "I haven't ruled out anything at this point." pic.twitter.com/I0aEvE7nZL

The White House has emphasised that it has found no evidence that the objects are of extra-terrestrial origin.

Of course, the White House update hasn’t stopped the speculation, the conspiracy theories – or the jokes.

Everyone watching the Super Bowl while the Pentagon gives a press conference about weird objects that have no clear way of staying airborne would 100% be the opening scene of a dark comedy about humanity being too distracted to save itself
