Senators downplay threats from unidentified objects, but call for more information
Many Democrats defended the Biden administration's cautious approach. But lawmakers of both parties urged the president to address the nation.
After emerging from a classified briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday, senators from both parties said the spate of unidentified floating objects shot down by U.S. jets in recent days do not pose an immediate threat to Americans, but many urged the Biden administration to share more information with the public.
Fighter jets shot down three slow-moving objects flying above North America over the weekend – one over Alaska's coast, one over Canada's Yukon territory, and one over Lake Huron. This comes about a week after the military shot down a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean.
