Senators left a classified briefing Tuesday demanding the Biden administration share with the public what it knows about the three unidentified flying objects the U.S. military shot down.
Following the White House's decision to take down a suspected Chinese spy balloon days after it flew over sensitive military sites in Montana, the administration shot down three unidentified objects over Alaska, Canada, and Lake Huron over the weekend.
But one message that crossed party lines was the need to update the public on what the Biden administration knows so far. While intelligence and military officials were unable to shed light on what exactly the objects it shot down were, briefers updated senators on recovery efforts for the balloon that was taken down over the Carolina coast.
“What’s interesting to me is if it is commercial, why wouldn’t whoever launched that just resolve the issue?” Tillis asked. “I’m not aware of any public reports of any civilian or commercial entity claiming responsibility for it.” “My understanding is that there is not anywhere near as formal a process as there should be,” Warner added. “My hope would be that we are much more aggressive about trying to make sure that objects are up there for legitimate scientific, weather, or other purposes and that there is a much better notification process with authorities.”
