NORAD Commander Gives Chilling Assessment on Downed Craft with Octagonal Shape

A cloud of uncertainty is swirling around objects that have been recently shot down over North America.

Sunday marked the third straight day an unidentified object was shot down by an American warplane. An object described as having “an octagonal structure with no [discernible] payload” was shot down over Lake Huron, according to Reuters. This followed an object downed over the northern coast of Alaska on Friday and one shot down over Canada’s Yukon on Saturday. All three follow the Feb. 4 shoot down of a suspected Chinese spy balloon off of the South Carolina coast.

Although on Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he was told by the White House that the first two objects shot down over the weekend were balloons — the third had not yet been downed when Schumer spoke — that’s not what Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, who leads the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said Sunday.

“I’m not going to categorise them as balloons. We’re calling them objects for a reason,” VanHerck said, according to the BBC.

“What we are seeing is very, very small objects that produce a very, very low radar cross-section,” he said.

VanHerck said the U.S. has adapted radar to track slower objects than it once did, according to The Washington Post.

“With some adjustments, we’ve been able to get a better categorization of radar tracks now, and that’s why I think you’re seeing these. Plus, there’s a heightened alert to look for this information,” he said.

The general noted that the past few days have been a military milestone.

“I believe this is the first time within United States or American airspace that NORAD or United States Northern Command has taken kinetic action against an airborne object,” he said.

VanHerck was asked about the possibility of aliens.

“I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven’t ruled out anything,” he said, BBC reported.
