They are in very difficult terrain,\u201d Milley said. \u201cThe second one off the coast of Alaska, that\u2019s in some really, really difficult terrain in the Arctic Circle, with very, very low temperatures in the minus 40s. The second one is in the Canadian Rockies and the Yukon. Very difficult to get that one and the third one is in Lake Huron, probably a couple 100 feet depth, so we\u2019ll get them eventually, but it\u2019s going to take some time to recover those.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valiant News previously&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/valiantnews.com\/2023\/02\/kjp-clarifies-no-indication-of-aliens-in-ufos-after-general-refuses-to-rule-them-out\/\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was forced to clarify that there is \u201cno indication of aliens\u201d in the recent balloon activity, after a top general refused to rule them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Press Secretary\u2019s remarks came after General Glen VanHerck, the USAF General responsible for American airspace,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Breaking911\/status\/1624935201229996033\">was asked by reporters<\/a>\u00a0if they had \u201cruled out\u201d aliens or extraterrestrials being responsible for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/valiantnews.com\/2023\/02\/radar-anomaly-closes-skies-over-montana-after-air-force-downs-ufo-in-canada\/\">the recent balloon activity.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ll let the intel community and the counter-intelligence community figure that out,\u201d VanHerck said. \u201cI haven\u2019t ruled out anything. At this point, we continue to assess every threat or potential threat, unknown, that approaches North America with an attempt to identify it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following her comments, John Kirby, the Coordinator for Strategic Communications with the National Security Council was asked about the discrepancy between Jean-Pierre\u2019s and VanHerck\u2019s comments. \u201cI don\u2019t think the American people need to worry about aliens, with respect to these craft. Period,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any more that needs to be said there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As national concerns over the potential existence of space aliens dies down in light of the White House\u2019s most recent remarks, Rep.
