The White House Doubles Down to Quash Rumors that Recent Air Craft Takedowns Related to ‘Extraterrestrial Activity’

The U.S. Government has shot down four objects in the past eight days. The first was the “Chinese spy balloon” that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina. The other three objects remain unidentified. This led to speculation that they may be linked to extraterrestrial activity as at least one was described as “octagonal” in shape.

At today’s White House press briefing, both Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and NSC Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby shared that the craft doesn’t appear to be related to “extraterrestrial activity”. However not much other information was provided as to what the objects were that were shot down.

KJP made it a point during her time to share, “There is no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns.” You can hear people in the room laugh while she says this.

Later Kirby was asked to clarify the difference in response from Pentagon officials, who said they weren’t ruling out anything in regards to the aircraft being extraterrestrial, yet KJP noted the opposite. Kirby answered, “I don’t think the American people need to worry about aliens, with respect to these craft. Period. I don’t think there’s anything more that needs to be said”

Kirby was asked if our borders are secure at higher altitudes. Kirby, sounding somewhat like KJP responded, “The president takes as I said earlier he takes our national security extremely seriously. He has no higher responsibility than the safety and security of the American people. And I don’t think you need to look any further quite frankly and the decisions he’s made in just the last week to ten days to evidence that.”

The reporter retorted, “But it feels like he’s plugging holes, like these are vulnerabilities that we are discovering in real-time.”

Kirby, who sounded irritated with the reporter, quipped back, “You’re making an assumption there. That I don’t know, I don’t know that analysis will actually bear out.”

The sudden change in response to how these objects are being handled after the Chinese spy balloon was allowed to travel across the country has people wondering what is going on. According to Kirby, the change was because the unidentified objects were flying at a lower altitude which could have affected air travel.
