Top U.S. Air Force General Makes Shocking Remarks About Unidentified Objects Shot Down By U.S. Military

U.S. Air Force General Glen VanHerck is the North American commander responsible for overseeing airspace. He did not rule aliens out when asked about unidentified objects which were recently shot down over North American aviation.

These comments follow the U.S. Military shooting down an unidentified object in Lake Huron, Canada, Saturday, and Friday, respectively.

VanHerck answered the question, “Has the U.S. military ruled out extraterrestrial origin of the unidentified objects?” “I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven’t ruled out anything.”

“At this point we continue to assess every threat or potential threat, unknown, that approaches North America with an attempt to identify it,” VanHerck continued.

Later, a U.S. defense officer spoke anonymously. Reuters, “No indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent take downs.”

VanHerck stated that U.S. officials were confident that the objects weren’t balloons.

“I’m not going to categorize them as balloons. We’re calling them objects for a reason,” VanHerck . “I’m not able to categorize how they stay aloft. It could be a gaseous type of balloon inside a structure or it could be some type of a propulsion system. But clearly, they’re — they’re able to stay aloft.”

VenHerck said that U.S. officials considered trying to use the fighter jet’s machine guns to shoot down the objects so that the objects would be better preserved after they were shot down.

“We assessed taking a gunshot yesterday in that event, as well as today, and the pilots in each situation felt that that was really unachievable because of the size, especially yesterday in the altitude and also because of the challenge to acquire it visually because it’s so small,” VanHerck claimed.

“We have taken extreme caution to ensure that we limit potential collateral damage, so today, we worked closely with the FAA to clear out the airspace,” He concluded. “I gave direction specifically to the pilots to use their visual acuity to check for mariners on the ground, airplanes in the air to clear with their radars as well. And when they were comfortable, that we can minimize collateral damage, they selected the best weapon today that was the AIM 9x (missile). And they took the shot.”
