UFO Triptych

1) From Kathryn Watson's 2-16-23 CBSNews.com report entitled "Biden Says Last Three Flying Objects Were Likely Tied to Private Companies, Recreation or Research":

Mr. Biden noted part of the reason why the U.S. is observing more of these objects is because the military recently increased the sensitivity of its radars.

"We don't have any evidence that there has been a sudden increase in the number of objects in the sky," the president said. "We're now just seeing more of them partially because [of] the steps we've taken to increase our radars, to narrow our radars. And we have to keep adapting our approach to dealing with these challenges."

The president has created a new interagency group to determine a strategy moving forward on how to handle such aerial objects. But the president emphasized Thursday that [he] won't hesitate to take down aerial objects that pose a threat.

"Make no mistake," Mr. Biden said. "If any object presents a threat to the safety and security of the American people, I will take it down."

3) From Caitlin Doornbos and Steven Nelson's 2-14-23 NEW YORK POST article entitled "Last Three UFOs Shot Down Likely Weren’t Chinese Spy Devices, US Says" (2-14-23): 

US intelligence officials do not believe the three UFOs shot down over the weekend were tied to China’s spy balloon program, a National Security Council spokesman told reporters Tuesday.

“Our initial assessments here, based on talking to civil authorities in the intelligence community, is that we don’t see anything that points right now to these being part of the PRC spying program or, in fact, intelligence collection against the United States of any kind,” John Kirby said, using the acronym for the People’s Republic of China.

The US Air Force downed airborne objects over Alaska on Friday, northwestern Canada on Saturday and Lake Huron on Sunday. None has been tied to China or any other country, but Kirby said more information will be gleaned once their remnants are retrieved [...].

If the objects were not Chinese spy balloons, they could have been any number of different craft used for benign research and monitoring, Melissa Dalton, assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense and hemispheric affairs, said Sunday.

“A range of entities — including countries, companies, research organizations — operate objects at these altitudes for purposes that are not nefarious, including legitimate research,” she said.

As of Tuesday afternoon, no private companies or nations had come forward to claim any of the recently downed objects, Kirby said.
