U.S. Military: No, We Haven’t Ruled Out Aliens

During a recent press hearing General Glen VanHerck didn’t rule out the possibility of aliens being in control of the UFOs that were recently shot down by the US military.

General Glen VanHerck’s statement came after a reporter asked him “if the military had ruled out an extraterrestrial origin for the three flying objects?”

Gen. VanHerck was quoted saying “I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven’t ruled out anything at this point.”

Yahoo News got the scoop too:

After President Joe Biden authorised the U.S. military to shoot down a series of unidentified airborne objects over the weekend, the U.S. Air Force general overseeing North American airspace said on Sunday, he’s not ruling out aliens – or any other explanation – yet.

During a briefing call with reporters, General Glen VanHerck was asked whether he had ruled out an extraterrestrial origin for the three flying objects.

“I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven’t ruled out anything at this point. We continue to assess every threat or potential threat unknown that approaches North America with the attempt to identify it.”

VanHerck’s comments came after a U.S. F-16 fighter jet shot down an octagonal-shaped object earlier on Sunday over Lake Huron on the U.S.-Canada border.

And Saturday, Canada authorised the U.S. Air Force to shoot down a cylindrical object flying over northwest Canada, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who said on Sunday authorities were still looking to retrieve it.

Asked to rule out aliens as what is behind the objects that have been shot down this weekend, NORAD commander Gen. VanHerck says, "I'll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven't ruled out anything at this point."

Time had these details to add:

“I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out,” General Glen VanHerck, commander of U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) told reporters late Sunday.

“I haven’t ruled out anything,” VanHerck said when asked if aliens could be involved. “At this point, we continue to assess every threat or potential threat unknown that approaches North America with an attempt to identify it.”

The Pentagon is now trying to obtain debris from each of the four shoot-downs in an effort to learn more about the crafts penetrating North American airspace. VanHerck acknowledged the military is perplexed.

“I’m not going to categorize them as balloons,” VanHerck said. “We’re calling them objects for a reason. I’m not able to categorize how they stay aloft.” None of the flying objects have posed a threat to anything on the ground, VanHerck said, but they have been assessed to be safety hazards to civilian air traffic and potential surveillance threats.
