Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said in a statement President Joe Biden owes the American people an explanation, direct and on camera, of what we know about these objects and what steps he´s taking to protect American´s sovereign airspace.

“I think at this juncture, the president needs to talk straight up to the American people,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said on Fox News on Wednesday.

Several Democrats said in recent days the administration could be more transparent in providing information about the recent incidents, though they have largely avoided directly criticizing Biden for not delivering remarks, The Hill noted.

“You know, in the absence of information, people will fill that gap with anxiety and other stuff. So, I wish the administration was a little quicker to tell us everything they know,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on Sunday just hours before the third object was shot down.

U.S. military has shot down three objects in recent days: the first last Friday while flying over Alaska; the second one in northern Canada on Saturday; and the last one over Lake Huron on Sunday.

White House Homeland Security spokesman John Kirby said that “while we cannot say definitively what the objects were, so far we have seen no indication they were definitely involved in external intelligence-gathering efforts.”

According to The Hill, White House aides are weighing whether to have Joe Biden address the public about a series of unidentified flying objects that were shot down by the U.S. military in recent days.
