After emerging from a classified briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday, senators from both parties said the spate of unidentified floating objects shot down by U.S. jets in recent days do not pose an immediate threat to Americans, but many urged the Biden administration to share more information with the public.

Fighter jets shot down three slow-moving objects flying above North America over the weekend — one over Alaska's coast, one over Canada's Yukon territory, and one over Lake Huron. This comes about a week after the military shot down a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean.

U.S. officials are working to determine who launched the three unidentified objects and why, but say they did not pose a threat to people on the ground. Senators, who were briefed on the matter Tuesday, said the latest objects have not been recovered due to difficult terrain and inclement weather on the ground.
Many senators from both parties agree, Biden should release more information publicly

Since the initial balloon sighting, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called congratulations for the content more transparency from the Biden administration. After Tuesday's classified briefing with intelligence officials, many senators urged the president to speak directly to the country to allay concerns.

"I have a better understanding, but the American people deserve and need to know more," said Sen. Blumenthal, D-Conn. "I am not in any way afraid that we are under a threat of attack or physical harm to our homeland. That's my personal feeling. But the American people need to be reassured with more facts."
