UFO shot down by President Biden was a silver, cylindrical object, according to journalist Ross Coulthart
One of the three mysterious objects shot down last year over US airspace was originally dubbed to be a balloon by the government
On his Need to Know podcast, Multi awarded Australian journalist and NewsNation correspondent Ross Coulthart read today, directly from his phone, a message he had just received.
“The Pentagon tracked the object, confirmed that it was a silver, cylindrical UAP, and not a balloon. The president Joe Biden ordered the shoot-down, and multiple assets were involved with the recovery : HC 130, F16s for cover, and OGA Black helicopters.”
This direct quote, said Coulthart, was from somebody with a source in the Pentagon, adding that this somebody says he’s “100% certain of this account”.
What we already knew
On February 10th, 2023, the Pentagon announced it had shot down an object “the size of a small car” at 40,000 feet (12.19 km), the White House confirming that the shoot-down had been ordered by President Biden, adding “we don’t know who owns this object.”
According to Reuters at the time, “The Pentagon and the White House declined to give a detailed description of the latest object”, although President Biden, during a press conference a few days later, gave the Intelligence Community’s then assessment: “most likely balloons”, affirming he was getting daily updates, and that he would inform Congress of the findings.
At the time of writing, no images of the objects intercepted in the North American sky have yet been released.
Ross Coulthart’s scoop comes just one year after Biden’s promise to inform Congress - plenty of time to tell representatives about this interesting development, both regarding the aspect of the object and details of its retrieval.
According to the latest UAP related legislation, details of incidents are automatically released to the public 25 years after the “creation of the record” unless the President opposes it.
Although the person in office by then will most certainly not be Joe Biden, the current president might feel compelled to release more information to the public sooner, in the wake of several Congressional hearings on the matter these last few years.
