These are three objects shot down over North America in the past few days.
On Thursday, February 16, 2023, US President Joe Biden said that intelligence services have no confirmation that the three objects shot down over North America in recent days were Chinese spy balloons.
“We still don’t know exactly what these three objects were, but at this time there is no evidence that they were connected to the Chinese spy balloon program or were surveillance devices from any other country,” Biden said. NYT.
The American president noted that these facilities were probably connected to private companies or research institutes. However, he said he expects to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping soon to express his objections to the first balloon’s violation of US airspace.
