0:27Now PlayingGeneral Mark Milley detailed the military's attempts to shoot down aChinese spy balloon and three unidentified flying objects near South Carolina, Alaska, Michigan and Canada.
RELATEDWhat possible intelligence did the Chinese spy balloon gather?
Three unidentified flying objects shot down from North American airspace could turn out to be balloons used for research or commercial purposed that posed no direct threat to the U.S., a White House spokesman said.
“Given what we've been able to ascertain thus far, the intelligence community is considering as a leading explanation that these could just be balloons tied to some commercial or benign purpose,” said spokesman John Kirby. No one has come forward to claim responsibility. And there are still a number of unanswered questions.
But Kirby said the U.S. hasn’t seen any indication that points directly to the objects being part of China’s spy balloon program, even though they were shot down about a week after the U.S. shot down a Chinese spy balloon in the Atlantic Ocean. He said the Pentagon has ruled out the possibility that the objects were from the U.S. government.
