Three of the four unknown flying objects shot down by the Americans over the weekend were in all likelihood private property and, according to the White House, therefore no damage was in mind.
According to US correspondent Jan Postma, the White House is still cautious, because there is a good chance that the objects belonged to companies or research institutes. It’s also more common for objects like these to be used for scientific research, according to the White House.
And therefore there was no malice, according to Postma. “However, that doesn’t mean it can’t be dangerous,” he says. “One of the objects would have flown to such a height that even planes could have been hit. But not with malicious intent, such as espionage. The United States still accuses China of espionage.”
Debris
The debris of the suspected Chinese spy object has since been recovered, but the White House has not pursued the matter, according to Postma. ‘This too remains rather mysterious, especially since we saw in the photos that they were busy with the rescue. But we don’t know exactly what was fished out.”
Postma fears that the other downed objects will also suffer the same fate. The White House calls it a complicated situation. For example, the remains of one object would have landed in cold Alaska, while another object would have crashed into a large lake. This makes it difficult to find them. “In addition, researchers require a huge amount of time and effort to study the found fragments and draw conclusions from them,” she says. “At the moment we know only very little.”
