On Thursday, U.S. President Joe Biden publicly stated that three of the four aerial objects recently shot down by the federal government were not of Chinese origin. Left-leaning articles highlight that the administration has had to clarify that the objects were not of extraterrestrial origin, while right-leaning articles highlight the Biden administration’s plans to keep an eye on unidentified aerial objects in the future.
NPR published a centrist article reporting on Biden’s remarks on the three objects that were shot down by the U.S. military. After the Chinese surveillance balloon was shot down, the U.S. identified and downed three more unidentified objects which Biden stated were most likely from private companies, recreation, or research institutions. He added that the U.S. is on a careful watch, narrowing their radars to surveil American skies, and that there are restrictions on firms that directly support the Chinese army and aerospace programs.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted that over the past week, in the wake of the downing of the surveillance aircraft from China, the Biden administration has been tasked with addressing an unusual problem: an influx of unidentified aerial objects. It also highlighted that the administration has avoided calling the aircrafts unidentified flying objects (UFOs) because on more than one account, it has had to clarify that the objects do not have extraterrestrial origins.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted Biden’s plans to monitor aerial objects following the military's take down of three aircrafts and the Chinese surveillance balloon. Although the three objects aren’t believed to be connected to China, Biden stated that they were taken down due to hazards to commercial planes and that they couldn’t “rule out surveillance risk of sensitive facilities.” He also plans to direct the team to have “sharper rules” when identifying and evaluating risks that might necessitate action.
