Public needs answers on UFOs

The U.S. military has downed four unmanned aerial objects over North American territory in less than two weeks, including one on Sunday that the military downed over Lake Huron.

The first of those objects, downed in the Atlantic Ocean near South Carolina’s coast, was Chinese spy balloon, the Joe Biden administration has said.

They’ve said almost nothing about the other three objects, including releasing very few details about the object downed into Lake Huron.

CNN cited an unnamed administration official to report that the object flew at 20,000 feet over the Upper Peninsula and was about to go over Lake Huron when it was neutralized. No one has said where exactly the object came down.

“We need to find out what they are, where they came from, and what they were doing,” U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Watersmeet, told News staff writer Steve Schulwitz for a recent story.

We couldn’t agree more. And we would add to the list of questions: Are there more of those aircraft entering U.S. airspace now than before, or are we just better at finding them now? If there are more, why are there more? If we’re just better at finding them now, why couldn’t we find them before? How many aircraft may have flown over us before now?

The federal government is working now to recover the downed aircraft and will then analyze them, officials have said.

Once that’s done, the Biden administration needs to be as public as possible with their findings.

In the absence of real information, rumors and conspiracy theories have already begun to spread. Some say the objects are the precursor to a Chinese invasion. Others say the objects are extraterrestrial.

We need real answers to help stop the spread of misinformation.

And we need them as soon as humanly possible.
