Summary
Last week, as controversy following the recent downing of unidentified objects over North America continued, President Joe Biden finally spoke out on the matter, defending his administration's decision to shoot down three objects that, to this date, still officially remain unidentified.
The President's remarks offered a rare glimpse at Biden's position on UAP, or what he characterized as "unidentified aerial objects," and his role in directing the intelligence community to learn what they can about them. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze the President's statements, the leading explanations for what the objects were, and why the Pentagon remains silent on recent images that have surfaced online purporting to depict an anomalous object over Mosul, Iraq.
