Watch Live: Biden addresses recent spate of UFOs
CBSN
President Biden is speaking Thursday about his administration's response to the recent spate of unidentified flying objects, even while the administration continues to work on identifying the nature and origin of multiple objects the Pentagon has shot down over North American airspace.
"He will speak about the United States' response to the recent aerial objects," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said ahead of the president's remarks. "That includes our decisive response to China's high-altitude surveillance balloon and the president putting the safety and security of the American people always first."
One object, shot down off the coast of South Carolina, was determined to be a Chinese spy balloon, part of what the Biden administration says is part of a larger surveillance operation. The administration is still searching for other objects shot down over U.S. and Canadian airspace this month.
