WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is forming an interagency group to address the recent spate of objects in the skies above North America, the White House announced Monday.
"The president, through his national security adviser, has today directed an interagency team to study the broader policy implications for detection, analysis and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said at a White House briefing.
"Every element of the government will redouble their efforts to understand and mitigate these events," he said.
Kirby said the national security team's task is to "dig into this deeper from an interagency effort and to see what if other improvements" need to be made.
Administration officials are expected to provide an all-senators classified briefing about the unidentified objects Tuesday morning, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Monday. They will also get a classified briefing about China Wednesday.
The U.S. has shot down four objects over North America this month, beginning Feb. 4, when the military took down a suspected surveillance balloon owned by the Chinese government. The three others were unidentified objects that Kirby said Monday the administration is still working to learn more about, particularly from recovered debris.
"We have not yet been able to definitively assess what these most recent objects are," said Kirby, who also noted that the U.S. does not know their origins.

Biden’s Balloon War coming to a theatre near you!
They should hire the people from that TV show where they went around carrying cameras attached to themselves.
All they did was stumble around in the dark.
It was beyond awful - can’t remember the name of the show but the girl was “Ryder” or something
Oh yeah - “Chasing UFOs”
f you’re having trouble sleeping - tune in for a couple of episodes

More government bloat and bureaucracy.
Wouldn’t Space Force already be tracking as well?
Do you know which agency he is forming this with?
Smells like BS
I could be convinced that KJP is, in fact, a United Federation of Planets princess. :-)
He punts.
She must be from a planet of prevaricating princesses
Well, Stacey Abrams is the President of the United Earth on Star Trek: Discovery so you might be on to something.
Even the military is acting like the Keystone Cops! I used to think we had the most sophisticated and strongest air force in the world.
Now we can’t even identify a balloon as friend or for and take it out with a gun burst from an F16. We gotta fire a missile from an F22 stealth fighter.
Or Fauci's evil cousin
Get ready for more tyranny.
Have no fear! Ralphie's got his Little Orphan Annie decoder ring!
“I thought we already have an agency for this. It’s called the Department of Defense!!!”
Isn’t that what Space Force was for?
Hilarious. These people have no clue. They are making things up as they go along and only if caught red-handed.
The accounting department will be in charge of the 10% for the big guy, naturally.
so much for the Space Force...
True but he doesn’t want anyone to know they shot down another countries weather balloon.
Bonus round he can milk the story to keep the documents scandal off the front page.
