The change in radar settings explains the large number of unidentified flying objects detected in the United States, John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator for the US National Security Council (NSC), said February 14 on CNN.
“This high number of recent incidents can be explained, at least in part, by the fact that the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has adjusted the sensitivity of radars to detect smaller objects that fly slower and higher. ”. Kirby said.
He also claimed that these settings were changed after the PRC balloon incident.
Recall that three unidentified flying objects were previously reported to have been shot down by NORAD on record. Two of them were shot down over the United States and one over the territory of Canada.
In the United States, it was stated that some of the objects shot down were from espionage, but the extraterrestrial origin of these objects was not ruled out either. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the behavior of the balloons illustrates reconnaissance activities by Russia and China against NATO.
China said the United States has illegally launched balloons into its sovereign airspace at least 10 times.
In Russia, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov suggested not to treat the “story” with balloons about the United States.
