U.S. Senators React To Classified UFO Briefing From Biden Administration Officials
Top Biden administration Officials briefed senators from both sides Tuesday about three unidentified flying objects which were seen over North America in recent days.
Senators from the Republican and Democratic parties listened carefully to the Department of Defense, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD, North American Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), and Office of the Director of National Intelligence. This was in response to national security concerns raised by three U.S.-based officials who shot down objects over Canada, Alaska, and Michigan.
However, lawmakers reportedly left the briefing with more questions and answers than they received, asserting that the public should hear a lot of the information officials shared in the classified briefing.
“99% of what was discussed in that room today can be made public without compromising security in this country,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) told Fox News.
Rubio, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee stated that the public should have such information as soon as possible.
“We have to know what we’re talking about,” Rubio said. “But I do think that when you shoot things down over the airspace of this country for the first time in the 65-year history of NORAD — you owe the American people more than some hurriedly called press conference in the middle of the Super Bowl.”
Following the briefing Rubio and other senators spoke with reporters. They provided limited information and raised questions about the origins and nature of the objects. However, they denounced any threat to American citizens. Officials from the United States took the objects down after they entered civil airspace without being registered with Federal Aviation Administration.
Senator John Kennedy (Republican from Louisiana) claimed that he left the briefing with more questions and answers than answers. He also stated that key takeaways were such strange objects found in U.S. Airspace. “flying over us for years” Moreover, the U.S. government knew about the activity.
“These objects have been flying over us for years, many years,” Kennedy said. “We’ve known about those objects for many years. We’re not sure that we’ve known about all of them, but we’ve known about many of them. Except for the Chinese spy balloon, we don’t know what they are. What’s different about the last two weeks is that we’ve started shooting them down. But we can’t find the remnants. Except for the spy balloon.”
Kennedy also stated that officials can’t find the debris of those recently shot down objects, noting that they landed in an area with “difficult terrain, low temperature, lots of inclement weather.”
“They’re looking, but they haven’t been able to find them,” He stated.
Rubio said that military personnel had reported the incident. “hundreds and hundreds of cases.” He also doesn’t think those objects pose a threat to the country unless they collide with an airplane.
“I don’t think there’s any indication that the objects were here to launch weapons against us,” Rubio said.
Senator Richard Blumenthal (D–CT) said that the American people are his priority. “deserve and need to know more” After understanding the situation better.
“I am not in any way afraid that we are under a threat of attack or physical harm to our homeland. That’s my personal feeling. But the American people need to be reassured with more facts,” Blumenthal stated that according to NPR.
After the classified briefing, Sen. Thom Tillis (R.-NC) stated that “a lot of people don’t understand the altitude challenges for going after a certain target.”
“There’s a lot of complexity in it, but I think they’ve done a good job of getting our situational awareness to where it is today,” Tillis stated.
Tillis stated to reporters that while the Biden administration has not yet designated the category in which the objects should be placed, he stressed that they are. “not from outer space.”
Senator Tom Cotton (Republican from Arkansas) stated that while he values the briefings by military officials and intelligence officers to Congress members, President Biden is his favorite. “owes” The American people need an explanation.
“President Biden should speak on camera directly to the American people today,” He stated.
