5:05Now PlayingPresident Biden told Americans on Thursday there was no evidence that a trio of unidentified flying objects shot down following the downing of a Chinese spy balloon were nefarious — in his first comments on the unprecedented military action in North American airspace after five full days of silence.
“We don’t yet know exactly what these three objects were,” Biden said of the devices shot down off the Alaskan coast, over Canada’s Yukon Territory and over Lake Huron.
“But nothing, nothing right now suggests they were related to China’s spy balloon program, or that they were surveillance vehicles from any other country. The intelligence community’s current assessment is that these three objects are most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreational or research institutions, studying weather or conducting other scientific research.”
The president’s remarks were announced with just one hour’s warning after the president returned from his annual physical Thursday morning at Walter Reed Medical Center.
Biden said “I expect to be speaking with [Chinese] President Xi [Jinping]” about the spy-balloon incident — while delivering his most expansive remarks yet on the Feb. 4 shootdown of the balloon off the coast of South Carolina after the craft was allowed to cruise over US airspace.
