Lawmaker Reveals What Info He Got During Closed-Door Briefing On UFOs

After a closed-door briefing on the many balloons and unidentified flying object being shot down in U.S. skys this week, a reporter met with Senator Mike Lee (R UT) to learn what he had learned.

“I didn’t learn a darn thing,” Lee said.

“Did you get any answers as to what those other objects were,” The reporter inquired.

“Not at all,” The senator spoke.

Rep. Jeff Jackson, D-NC, was either at another briefing or paying closer attention. He shared a lot of information about UFOs, including the Chinese balloon that crashed off South Carolina’s coast last Wednesday.

“We’ve already recovered a lot of the debris from what [the briefer] referred to as ‘the Chinese spy balloon,’ including propulsion equipment. They expect to gain significant intelligence from the recovery,” In a post, he stated that substack.

The U.S. was inspired by the Chinese balloon to act. “After the incident with the spy balloon, a decision was made to start scrutinizing our air space more closely. Adjustments were made to how we process a lot of the data we collect about what’s flying overhead,” Jackson stated.

“[T]he vast majority of the data wasn’t being processed because there was no single system that exists for the purpose of identifying these kinds of objects,” He added.

Jackson also provided details on the other UFOs that he called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

“The three UAPs that have been shot down since then were all ‘fundamentally different’ from the spy balloon in that they were much smaller and they were flying much lower, between 20,000 and 30,000 feet. That put them within the altitude band for civilian air traffic, which was a factor in the decision to shoot them down. By contrast, the spy balloon was at an altitude of 60,000,” Jackson wrote.

The lawmaker stated that the UAVs were being flown in close proximity to a Department of Defense. “sensitive location,” It was important to note that this was also a factor when they were shot down.

The UAVs also did not have required signal devices. “In the U.S., academic and commercial balloons have to include transponders that let the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] know where they are at all times. These UAPs did not appear to have transponders, and that was also a factor in the decision to shoot them down,” Jackson stated.

The congressman also provided details on the dimensions and shapes of the crafts. “Of the three UAPs, one was much larger than the other two. Its size and shape is consistent with a balloon. The other two were roughly the size of ‘an ATV or a four-wheeler,’” He said.

Jackson noted that there’s no evidence at this point that any of the three UAVs were “doing anything nefarious and each of them could turn out to be academic or commercial. We won’t know until they’re recovered.”

Jackson also outlined exactly where the UAVs are located now.

“One UAV was shot down over Alaska. The debris is believed to be on an ice cap, which is moving, and the temperature is -50 with the wind chill.”“A second UAV was shot down in Canada in some very tall, snowy mountains. We’re assisting Canadians with trying to locate the debris.”“A third UAV was shot down near the US/Canada border but is probably on the Canadian side. Another joint effort is underway.”
