The Biden administration announced Monday that it will form an interagency team to address the unusual flying objects in the skies above North America.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said President Biden directed the creation of a team to study “the broader policy implications for detection, analysis and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks.”
The team will aim to dig deeper into the situation to see what improvements may be needed and how agencies can better address these incidents, Mr. Kirby said. Mr. Kirby said the administration is still working to learn more about the objects from recovery efforts and debris.“Because we have not been able to definitively assess what these most recent objects are, we acted out of an abundance of caution to protect the security — our security — our interests, and flight safety,” Mr. Kirby said.
Mr. Kirby said the U.S. has recently enhanced its radar capabilities, offering a limited explanation for why more objects have been discovered in U.S. airspace. The upgrades were made after the suspected Chinese spy balloon was discovered earlier this month, he added.
