RELATEDWhat to know about the spy balloon, unidentified objects downed by US military
President Joe Biden said Thursday that three unidentified flying objects shot down last weekend over North American airspace were "most likely" balloons tied to private companies or research institutions, not part of China's surveillance spy balloon operation.
Biden, delivering his first public address on the mysterious objects amid bipartisan pressure from lawmakers demanding more information, defended having the objects shot down even if they posed no direct threat to the U.S.
"We acted out of an abundance of caution and had an opportunity that allowed us to take down these these objects safely," Biden said, also stressing there's "no evidence" that more flying objects are in the sky than usual.
