The White House on Monday said it doesn’t yet know what the aerial objects are that were shot down this weekend, who owns them or their purpose.
Defense officials opted to let it float over the continental U.S. for a week before shooting it down Feb. 4 above the waters off South Carolina.
"We need to separate [the three recent objects] from the Chinese spy balloon," he said. In the spy balloon situation,"we knew what it was, we knew where it was going, we knew what it was doing." This time around, there are more questions, he said. "We also know that a range of entities, including countries, companies, research and academic organizations operate objects at these altitudes for purposes that are not nefarious at all, including scientific research," he said.
On Monday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that American and Canadian teams had"not recovered any debris" following the three shootdowns over the weekend."We don't know if they were actually collecting intelligence," he told reporters shortly after landing in Brussels.
