Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle demanded answers Monday from an out-of-sight President Biden about the unprecedented U.S. takedown of four objects in North American airspace, including three in the past four days.
Despite growing pressure on the president to give an address to the public, explanations remained elusive, as Mr. Biden had no public events. The Pentagon and NORAD did release additional information, but officials had few details about the nature of unidentified objects.
In an effort to get more answers, the administration announced Monday that it will form an interagency team to address the unusual flying objects in the skies above North America. Since Mr. Biden last spoke on the issue, the White House shot down two more high-altitude, low-speed objects. While Mr. Biden remained tight-lipped, his Canadian counterpart, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, traveled to the Yukon on Monday and discussed the object that was shot down there on Saturday.
Now Mr. Biden faces similar questions about transparency on the unidentified objects, even from lawmakers within his own party. Senators are expected to receive a classified briefing on Tuesday. Republicans accused Mr. Biden of hiding, and demanded he explain to the American people what exactly the U.S. military has shot down in recent days.
