The three mysterious objects do not belong to China.  

Nor are they part of any espionage program, according to the White House. 

So far, it is unknown where they come from. It started with the Chinese spy balloon that was destroyed by a rocket on February 4.  

Subsequently, three more mysterious objects were shot down over American and Canadian airspace in as many days. 

The first was the so-called ”Smll car". The next day the ”Cylinder” appeared, and the day after that the ”Octogon”. 

US authorities have not revealed much about the downed objects, but on Monday White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stressed that they were not aliens or extraterrestrial activity.  

-I know there have been questions and concerns, but there are no, well no, indications of extraterrestrials or extraterrestrial activity in the recent shootings, she said at the time.  

On Tuesday, the White House issued a new statement about the objects. 

Not China or espionage  

So far, the United States has received no indication that the objects belong to China. There is also nothing to suggest that it is a spy object. 

-"So far, we have no indications or signs that these objects were part of the People's Republic's hot air balloon spy program, or that they were involved in intelligence gathering efforts," White House spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday.  

Despite the fact that the USA has now excluded a number of candidates, it is currently unclear what kind of object it is. 

Nor has any group or individual stated that the objects belong to them.
