Washington — President Biden told Americans Thursday there was no evidence 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 if 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 other any other country. The Intelligence community’s current assessment is

Unfortunately one object was manned and the bodies of George and Jane Jetson were recovered. George and Jane are survived by son Elroy and daughter Judy. The President sent his respects.

I'm thinking there's a reason why the balloons are being referred to as "UFOs" instead of "balloons". I know they're unidentified, but they're not extraterrestrial. Seems like misdirection to me.

So Joey Baby has authorized the DOD to shoot down anything in the sky regardless of what they are, or objects they cant define. Way to go Joey Baby, clueless again, Joey Baby.

How can you say for certain the 3 objects aren't related to the China weather balloon, when you also say "we don't know what there are"

elsewhere...highschool students think it was THEIR Pico Balloon...small maylar balloons with tiny radio transmitters, trackers, that LOTS of radio and meteorological hobbiests launch, all around the world....including a group of annapolis midshipmen. Some of which can stay aloft for multible circumnavigations of the earth.
Apparently we spend Millions of dollars in fuel, flight time, scrambled several wings of fighter jets, an AWACS and several airborne tankers, shut down commercial flights and airspace...then fired multiple $Half Million dollar rockets to destroy some kids $20 science experiment.

I thought that positive identification was required before any unidentified object could be fired upon. That is pretty standard ROE in any military. And if not, how can he be certain what its intentions or capabilities were, or who sent it?

Easy, now. Joe may not know what they were but he knows they weren't from China. His trusted business partners there - all connected to the Chinese military - told him so.

“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,” - Our esteemed leader.
The rules of logic then dictate that they from the United States since that is the only option left but then we are talking about the Biden administration and logic does not apply. I'm guessing that #6 is hot on the trail.

I wouldn't believe Joe if he reported that he was going to tell us the truth. Nothing he says it true.

The one over Canada was an amateur radio balloon.

China is no threat is the standard quip of Biden. Biden cannot be bought, That is because China already owns him.

One of the objects was a balloon belonging to an American ham radio club, used for boosting signals, and had traveled around the world safely seven times. That is, until it came in contact with a $600,000 missile of the U.S. military! This news item was reported last night on the ham radio news report listened to every week by TK. We both burst out laughing! Our tax dollars at work. Certainly more useful than say, used for environmental clean-up in Palestine, Ohio!

After being revealed as a feckless wimp, and possibly willing collaborator, there was NO amount of money joey wouldn't spend to reverse the truth. It's lucky no civilian aircraft were downed.

Absolute bull! No one is allowed to float a large balloon without proper registration of same with the authorities. Basically every weather balloon is licensed and given an ID number and must be tracked. Thus, the companies sending these things up always know where they are and they can be tracked. In minutes you can tell who owns and operates any weather balloon.
These so-called UFOs are not properly registered and thus are automatically sinister in purpose --- and usually from a government that opposes yours! If not China, then it belongs to Putin ... or Rocket Man ... or someone unexpected.

More disinformation from the president/in/name only....china has told him what to say....their balloon program is directed at America...and nothing the liar in chief has to say is believed...fortunately some Montana folk saw the china balloon and reported it to WE the people...or...perhaps WE would never have known...it makes me wonder just how in the tank Obama is with china....since he and Susan rice are running the country into the ground with their hatred of WE the peasants...AKA as MAGA....

I would not believe anything uttered by Joe Biden for any reason on any subject. That includes the web address here, the date of Friday, Feb. 17th and the hour CST of 10:04 a.m.

So now taxpayers will be liable for shooting down private company, and individual's, balloons with F-16's? One thing learned is that Joe Biden should not be licensed to use an F-16.

So we haven't recovered them, we don't know what they are, but we're sure they pose no danger.
Right.
If they were from China, Joe would be sure to let it pass unmolested.

For many years the rumor has been that the Government could use 3D holograms to show an alien invasion. This would be backed up with a few real bombs to try to take over. This would be a shock event that the Deep State has talked about for a few years. If it happens, it is fake. Why would they be touting UFO's and that kind of stuff now? The realism is very good. The Phoenix lights were thought to be a test of this system. Another shows a religious person in the sky telling the people to attack and destroy other people. It may not be this but expect the Deep State to do something major. They are running out of options.

On February 20, 2021, an American Airlines flight reported to the tower that a long cylindrical object "shaped like a cruise missile" flew directly overhead and passed the commercial airliner at 37,000 feet near the northeast corner of New Mexico west of Clayton, New Mexico. The pilot asked if there were any military exercises taking place in the area, as he was concerned for the safety of his aircraft. He was advised that there was no current military use of his airspace. Pretty good hologram.
