The Chinese spy balloon had everyone wondering what is going on as it crossed over the United States for a week and then was shot down by a U.S. fighter jet. No one was really talking about extraterrestrials and UFOs because it was an obvious balloon. I think most people who do believe in UFOs and aliens are giving them the benefit of the doubt that they have superior technology over a balloon.

The following weekend after the Chinese spy balloon was shot down by the U.S. fighter jet, 3 more objects were spotted and shot down over Alaska, Canada, and Lake Huron. These objects were labeled UFOs and even though they have been shot down, they don't know what to call them yet since they have not recovered them because of extreme weather and terrain. One object was described as cylindrical, another object was described as carrying a payload, and the final object was said to be octagon shaped. 3 very different objects and all 3 very different than the Chinese spy balloon. These three items definitely had a lot of people searching on the web on what they could be.
