The head of the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) Glen VanHerck did not rule out the possibility that the downed in recent days in U.S. airspace flying objects may have extraterrestrial origin, but stressed that the final conclusion on this issue should make intelligence agencies, reports Reuters.

In recent days, U.S. fighter jets have intercepted three high-altitude targets of unknown origin and destination over Alaska, Canada and Lake Guron. During a special briefing for journalists, VanHerck was asked whether the military was prepared to completely rule out the version of extraterrestrial origin of the aircraft shot down in the skies over the United States. The American public is actively interested in this question, as one of the journalists who attended the event noted.
