The Biden administration said that the “thousands” of UFOs sightings in the skies are probably not aliens.

There are “hundreds, if not thousands,” of unknown objects soaring in the skies at any given time, but most are believed to be harmless objects and not space aliens visiting Earth, according to White House Homeland Security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall.

“There are no UFOs. This is not an invasion of the aliens,” Sherwood-Randall, in a Feb. 13 video conference with state governors, reported Fox News.

The meeting with the governors was held after the U.S. Air Force (USAF) shot down three flying objects last weekend.

Most are believed to be mundane things like “used car lot balloons,” or aircraft launched by commercial businesses, she added.

“It’s true that there are things that are being identified that don’t resemble anything else, that largely don’t present a threat, and we have to figure out what to do about them, and it turns out, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of them.”

“I mean, it’s funny, but it’s not funny because people are communicating this on platforms that are widely viewed,” Sherwood-Randall continued.

Air Force General Refuses to Rule Out Space Aliens

However, the administration claims that it is still unable to identify the three recently downed objects.

The first flying object was shot down by the USAF off northeastern Alaska on Feb. 10, the second over Canada’s Yukon Territory on Feb. 11, and the third over Lake Huron on Feb. 12.

Recovery teams are currently working to find and retrieve the three objects.

Officials say debris from the first unidentified object, which was about the size of a small car, is likely on an ice flow off Alaska, while the remnants of the other two objects are somewhere in Canada.

Meanwhile, the commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and Northern Command (NORCOM), USAF General Glen VanHerck, told reporters on Feb. 12, that he would not rule out an extraterrestrial origin for the objects, after they were intercepted over the weekend.

“I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out,” VanHerck said, but White House officials walked back his comments the following day.

White House to Conduct Study on UFOs

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, told reporters, that he does not think “the American people need to worry about aliens with respect to these craft. Period.”

“I know there have been questions and concerns about this, but there is no—again, no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

The UFO incidents came over a week after the military shot down an alleged Chinese spy balloon off South Carolina on Feb. 4, which put North American air defenses on high alert.

Government officials said the 200-foot tall balloon was being used for surveillance and signals gathering by the CCP.

A 30-foot section of that balloon’s payload was recovered off the ocean floor, by the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard this week.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan announced that the White House will create an interagency task force to study the three mysterious flying objects this week.
