The White House has ruled out one possibility in the saga of unidentified objects being shot down from the sky — aliens.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre opened Monday’s press briefing with a clarification about the four items plucked from the skies over the United States and Canada within the last 10 days, which was that they appear to have human origins.

“I know there have been questions and concerns about this, but there no, again, no indication of aliens or or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” Jean-Pierre said to laughter in the Brady Press Briefing Room. “I wanted to make sure the American people knew that, that all of you knew that, and it was important for us ot say that from here because we’ve been hearing a lot about it.”
Over the weekend, the Pentagon oversaw the shooting down of three unidentified objects in as many days — the first on Friday over Alaska, the second on Saturday over Canada’s Yukon territory, and the third on Sunday over Lake Huron. The chaotic series of events came just over a week after the U.S. downed a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic coast.
The origins of the more recent three have yet to be determined.

“I loved ET the movie,” Jean-Pierre said. “But I’m just going to leave it there.”
