Republican Rubio tweeted: 'The last 72 hours revealed to the public what was happening for years, unidentified aircraft routinely operating over restricted US airspace.
'This is why I pushed to take this seriously and created a permanent UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena - equivalent to UFOs) task force two years ago.'
Rubio is the Vice Chairman of the US Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence and has long pushed for a 'destigmatization' on UFO reporting.

The object detected Sunday was described by defense officials as an unmanned 'octagonal structure' with 'potential surveillance capabilities' and strings attached to it.

VanHerck said that, unlike the Chinese spy balloon, all three UFOs gunned down over the weekend were of a similar size and speed.
He added that the since the Chinese balloon was found in late January, the US adjusted its radar so it could track slower objects. He explained that this radar adjustment, plus the heightened state of alert following the Chinese balloon, explains the frequency of UFO sightings.
'With some adjustments, we've been able to get a better categorization of radar tracks now,' he said, 'and that's why I think you're seeing these, plus there's a heightened alert to look for this information.'
VanMerck said the air force is still unsure how the three objects were staying aloft, as they currently have unknown propulsion systems. He added: 'We're calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason.'

Idiots talking.
Yeah. A alien species that has conquered interplanetary space travel is gonna get shot down by a F22.
It’s like comparing modern technology to an field mouse.
Daily Mail hyping the ET crap.
Why didn’t they take them down before?
And now that they’re down, what are they?

JUST IN - Pentagon does not know to what keeps these “objects” aloft, unknown propulsion systems.
“We’re calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason,” says U.S. Air Force General Glen VanHerck.
MORE - General VanHerck says that he hasn’t “ruled out anything yet” when asked whether he rules out aliens.
UPDATE - Unnamed U.S. defense official now tells Reuters that there is “no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity” in recent takedowns of aerial objects.

My theory about the airspace closures and intercepts is that the DoD cracked open that first Chinese balloon and found sensory capabilities that really freaked them out, so now they are being hyper-vigilant about any and all radar anomalies.
Letting the public speculate harmlessly about aliens is better than admitting that hostile systems can just waltz in past the radar filtering software.
Time to surrender and form a one world government that will save us all.
It’s like comparing modern technology to an field mouse.
As it is unknown, we simply do not know.
There are plenty of scenarios where aliens had better spacefaring technology, but were significantly behind in other areas.
We simply do not know.
Uneven advances in technology are a possibility, perhaps a plausibility.
Why are these objects so disproportionately reported over sensitive airspace, or is that the aircrews doing the reporting ?
We truly live in Idiocracy now.
General VanJerck is another quote filled moron. Where do they find these ball-less yes-men that are supposed to be leaders
Those with a rudimentary understanding of physics know that these devices are not from “outer space”.
However, if you get your science education from the movies, then, of course, this is entirely possible.
yes, yes we do
Spacecraft capable of interstellar travel are not going to be disabled by conventional means.
If they’re considered UFOs it takes the heat off of China.
So we are reacting now to a threat that was so obvious a third grader could have predicted it.
It is great to know we spend nearly $1 trillion per year on defense and they fail to account for trillions during audits.
Any theories?
Here are some of my own, in order of probability:
1. Spy or weaponized devices, from a foreign power, most likely Russia or China.
2. Domestically created objects, in normal use by black programs that do not share info between agencies. Potential internal wargame as well.
3. Domestically created objects, again by black programs but designed to create an incident, for diversionary or misinformation purposes, such as project bluebeam, or to build distrust of foreign governments.
4. Intra-dimensional or extraterritorial objects.
Is that where aliens are supposed to come from?
Only in the movies.
The operative theory nowadays is that they--if they are even real--are extradimensional.
Or maybe the ETs aren’t extraterrestrial at all. The oceans are pretty big.
Plants crave electrolytes…
Let’s call it Alien technology instead of admitting China has more advance technology then the United States now.
