By now you know about the wave of UFOs around the world and we invite you to read our latest news on the subject. But it’s not over yet, it’s just begun. US President Joe Biden has spoken publicly about the recent wave of unidentified flying objects, saying there is no evidence that the last three downed aerial objects are related to surveillance operations by a foreign nation.
“We don’t yet know exactly what these three objects were,” Biden said. “But there is nothing at this point to suggest that they were related to China’s spy balloon program or that they were surveillance vehicles for any other country. The current assessment of the intelligence community is that these three objects were mostly balloons attached to private companies, recreational or research institutions, used to study weather or conduct other scientific investigations.”
This last explanation is just speculation in an attempt to minimize the incidents, since until now no one knows the origin of these objects that are crossing all points of the planet. Biden also sought to convey the message that the United States is not seeking a new Cold War with China, saying that he hopes to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping, although he did not confirm when such a conversation will take place. However, the US president also said that he did not apologize for shooting down the alleged spy balloon.
They have nothing to do with China
The president’s White House address came as the administration continues to work to identify the nature and origin of several objects the Pentagon launched into U.S. airspace this month. An earlier object, shot down off the coast of South Carolina, was determined to be a Chinese spy balloon and is part of what the Biden administration is saying is part of a larger surveillance operation.
The administration is still searching for three subsequent objects shot down over U.S. and Canadian airspace this month. But Biden said “nothing” at this point suggests that these later objects are related to Chinese or any other country’s surveillance operations. He also noted that part of the reason the U.S. is seeing more of these objects is because the military has recently increased the sensitivity of its radars.
“We don’t have any evidence that there’s been a sudden increase in the number of objects in the sky,” the president explained. “We’re seeing more of them now in part because of the steps we’ve taken to increase our radars, to reduce our radars. And we have to continue to adapt our approach to meet these challenges.”
Biden is clearly trying to defuse the controversy, but his statements differ from his actions, as a new interagency group has been created to define a strategy for moving forward on how to deal with UFOs. Although the president stressed on Thursday that he will not hesitate to shoot down aerial objects that pose a threat.
“Make no mistake,” Biden stressed. “If any item poses a threat to the security of the American people, I will remove it.”
People must prepare themselves
The Biden administration has been briefing members of Congress on UFOs, and members of both parties have demanded transparency and answers. Even a Louisiana senator advised citizens to “lock their doors” after a classified briefing to lawmakers about the crashed unidentified objects last weekend.
Speaking to the media after the news broke, Louisiana Senator John Kennedy said that so far authorities have been unable to locate the remains of the three unidentified objects, except for the alleged spy balloon.
“It is clear to me that this is not a recent phenomenon,” Kennedy told reporters, adding that it has been happening since at least 2017. Concluding his comments to the assembled media, Kennedy added: “Close your doors tonight. Ten days ago we were led to believe that our skies were clear, but now we have unidentified objects and Chinese spy balloons raining down on us like confetti.”
The controversial video
But it doesn’t end there. A video was shared on social media on Wednesday and Thursday showing President Biden delivering remarks to the American people.
“As the commander in chief of the United States Joint Forces, I am here today to report that several unidentified flying objects have appeared over many parts of our country,” Biden said. “While their exact origin has not yet been fully determined, the FBI has informed me that it is highly likely that they are visitors of an extraterrestrial nature. I urge the American people to remain calm, not panic, and await further announcements. We will overcome this threat with confidence and vigilance. May God protect our souls.”
Needless to say, millions of internet users have seen the video across TikTok, Twitter and Facebook. Now, fact-checking news outlets have been quick to offer an explanation for the shocking and historic speech. Reuters, one of the outlets that fact-checked the video, suggested that some kind of voice-cloning software was likely used in its production, which experts often refer to as “superficial spoofing” due to its low quality.

“While voice cloning is quite effective, video tampering is quickly identified as fake,” Dominic Lees, associate professor of film at the University of Reading in England, told Reuters.
The expert pointed to a time around 0:22, after the phrase “visitors from extraterrestrial nature”. Immediately after this phrase, he said that the audio speech stops while the deepfake president’s lips continue to move. And of course, the controversy is served, as no media seems to fully confirm that the video is a fraud, which is why some consider it to be a real presidential speech that would have leaked through social networks. Therefore, if so, it would confirm that the mysterious objects that are appearing in our skies are indeed of extraterrestrial origin. Now we just have to know their true intentions.
What do you think about the UFO incidents around the world? Are they really of extraterrestrial origin?
