The White House answered several questions on Monday pertaining to the recent shooting down of three unidentified aerial objects over the past week. 

White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre made it clear that there was no connection whatsoever to extraterrestrial activity with the last three aerial objects - the first being a Chinese weather balloon that was suspected of being a spying device. 

"I just wanted to make sure we address this from the White House," Jean-Pierre said on Monday. "There have been questions and concerns about this but there is no -- again, no -- indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity."
