Aliens

Four objects detected in U.S. or Canadian airspace have been shot down in a nine-day span.

The government is "laser-focused" on confirming the nature and purpose of the objects, he said, including through "intensive" efforts to collect debris in the areas where they fell. and Canada in light of the recent incursion by the Chinese airship. In Belgium, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters the priority is debris recovery. under the Biden administration is trying to gain greater understanding. "Wanted to make sure that the American people knew that, all of you knew that, and it is important for us to say that from here." [shot down an object over Alaska](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-shoots-down-high-altitude-object-alaska/) on Friday and, working with Canadian officials, an unidentified object over the Yukon on Saturday. The trio of incidents, all since Friday, came after the U.S. The Navy has been leading efforts to recover debris and retrieve the balloon's payload, and salvage operations resumed Monday after they were paused due to rough waters. did not believe the three objects posed a direct threat to people on the ground, but could have been a danger to civilian commercial air traffic, given their altitude. military shot down [another high-altitude object,](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/unidentified-object-shot-down-great-lakes-region-lake-huron-sunday-2023-02-12/) flying at about 20,000 feet, over the Great Lakes region on Sunday. "I just want to make sure we address this from the White House. The nation's eyes have turned upward after three high-altitude objects detected over Alaska, Canada and Michigan were shot down by military fighter jets in so many days.

'There is no, again no, indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,' the White House Press Secretary said.

But efforts to learn more about the Chinese balloon and its purpose have been slowed by bad weather off the coast of South Carolina. Kirby noted that when Biden came into office, Biden asked for “a broad assessment of Chinese intelligence capabilities.” That assessment found that China was using a “high-altitude” balloon operation to collect intelligence. Adding to the mystery, those three unknown objects were shot down within a week of a U.S. The remaining parts of the object shot off the coast of Alaska have been hard to find because of sea ice, he said, and the unidentified object over Canada fell in an area of remote wilderness. A few parts have been recovered from the bottom, Kirby said, but there’s more to retrieve. But the Pentagon and U.S. F-22 downing an alleged Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina on Feb. The debris of the “object” shot while flying at 20,000 feet over Lake Huron on Sunday fell in deep water in the lake and U.S. Asked if the U.S. military hasn’t been able to examine the debris because the bits fell in hard to access places. fighter jet off the Alaskan coast on Friday, another shot over northern Canada on Saturday, and a third It was an unusual denial to hear from the podium in the White House press room.

The Chinese government criticized the balloon’s take down as an “indiscriminate use of force” and has maintained its narrative that the object was a civilian-operated device used for weather research. The president on Monday directed White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to develop an “interagency team” to study the policy implications and risks of unidentified aerial objects. The White House has not ruled out the possibility that the three most recent objects were used for surveillance purposes, but has gathered no evidence thus far to suggest they were, Kirby said, adding that no additional aerial objects had been detected as of Monday. fighter jets took down aerial objects over Alaska on Friday, Canada on Saturday and Lake Huron on Sunday, and while it’s unclear what the three most recent objects were used for, Kirby said Monday the military did not detect any “communication signals” from the devices, though Sen. military shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina on February 4, after it was first spotted over Alaska on January 28. military destroyed over North America in recent days were the product of alien or extraterrestrial activity—a day after a top military commander left open that possibility.

The US government's assessment so far is that there's no indication three unidentified objects it shot down were from a galaxy far, far, away.

[Universe Today](https://www.universetoday.com/). Given the exponential rate at which computing progresses (using humanity as a template), advanced civilizations might have a short window in which they broadcast in radio wavelengths. After all, if extraterrestrial life has had a jump on humanity (which seems reasonable given the age of the Universe), it stands to reason they would have outgrown radio communications and digital computing a long time ago. "Up until now, we have completely overlooked a natural direction for SETI in form of high energy neutrinos and other particles produced by the Hawking radiation of artificial black holes. The Hawking component of radiation is expected to be a superposition of black body spectra of very high energies. These black holes would likely be artificial in nature and micro-sized rather than large and naturally occurring (for the sake of computing efficiency). The emission of this radiation reduces the mass and rotational energy of black holes, theoretically resulting in their eventual evaporation. This survey relied on the [Green Bank Observatory](https://greenbankobservatory.org/)'s 26-meter (85-foot) radio telescope to listen for radio transmissions from the nearby star systems of Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. In their later paper, Dvali and Osamov suggest that black holes could be the ultimate source of computation. This space lies just outside the event horizon, where infalling matter forms a disk that is accelerated to near the speed of light and emits tremendous amounts of radiation. Possible indications include self-replicating probes, megastructures, and other [Type III](https://www.universetoday.com/129735/will-type-iii-civilization/)-like activity.
