Washington, DC — Iowa’s Senior US Senator, Chuck Grassley, says he’ll be attending a briefing Tuesday as military and intelligence officials update members of Congress about the recent rash of balloons being shot down by American warplanes.
Grassley says he isn’t optimistic about the update, the second involving UFOs in two weeks.
Government officials say a Chinese spy balloon was shot down off the South Carolina coast ten days ago, after it overflew much of the US. Three more objects have been shot down in the past four days, two near Alaska and a third over Lake Huron. Grassley says we’re all in the dark and deserve answers.
Officials are saying very little about the three latest UFOs and it’s unclear if they’re also intelligence-gathering platforms like the first Chinese balloon. Grassley questions how many other devices have been overhead that we’ve missed, or that we weren’t told about.
Chinese officials have issued statements saying the first object was a weather balloon that veered off course, but US officials say they’ve recovered most of the craft’s antenna array which they say was certainly used for surveillance.
