Over the last weeks, there has been a spate of unidentified flying objects over the United States. These objects were identified as surveillance objects by the U.S. government.

The U.S. has shot down four items. One of them came from China, however, while the other objects’ origin remains unknown. The Federal Aviation Administration has determined that those objects weren’t from the U.S. government, concluding that they might have been operated by private companies or research institutes.

Consequently, these events have made people wonder if there are chances of extraterrestrial life. Even though these most recent events did not involve aliens, UFO sightings always raise doubts in the population.
