A former employee of the US National Security Agency, Edward Snowden, mocked some US officials for talking about seeing and shooting down “aliens”, days after a US fighter shot down a Chinese balloon.
Snowden was referring to statements by Gen. Glendy VanHerk, commander of the US Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command, who said on Sunday that, after shooting down unidentified objects, he had not ruled out that the objects came from them. Aliens or any other description
Snowden believed that Washington’s panic over the shooting down of unidentified flying objects over American and Canadian soil was aimed at distracting journalists from the investigation into the Nordstream bombing.
Snowden said in a tweet on his Twitter account: “They are not aliens … I wish … but they are not aliens.”
“It’s just panicking to make sure national security reporters are hired to investigate the nonsense of blimps instead of Nordstream-style budgets or bombings.
Yesterday, Monday, the White House said that flying objects and aliens shot down by US fighters in the past days, the White House Press Secretary, Karen Jean-Pierre, said, “There are no indications. Alien activity.”
“I know there are questions and concerns about this, but again, there are no references to aliens or extraterrestrial activity,” she added.
And she continued: “Recently dropped objects pose a threat to air navigation and we are unable to determine whether they have surveillance or espionage capabilities.”
For his part, another US defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “The military has seen no evidence to suggest that any of these objects are of extraterrestrial origin.
It is noteworthy that American journalist Seymour Hersh had earlier mentioned that the US was involved in the bombing of the Nordstream gas pipelines in September last year.
In a lengthy investigation published on his blog, Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize winner in journalism, claimed that the Nordstream bombing was part of a top-secret operation by the CIA under US President Joe Biden’s administration.
The British newspaper The Times, citing an investigation by Seymour Hersh, said that Biden’s decision to “bomb” the Nord Stream came after 9 months of top-secret negotiations with the US security services, which focused mainly on mechanisms to covertly manage the bombing without abandoning it. Any evidence implicating a party. Implemented
