Pentagon refuses to rule out ALIENS
Could UFOs seen above the United States be the same as the iconic 'Tic Tac' captured on video? As the Pentagon refuses to rule out ALIENS, an expert says the strange objects resemble a white oblong spotted by the US Navy in 2004.
After a third unexplained object was shot down with a missile fired from an F-16 fighter jet yesterday, the United States is gripped with UFO fever.
The 'octagonal' object, which had 'possible surveillance capabilities,' went near a critical military installation in Montana before being intercepted over the Great Lakes on Sunday.
It comes after two other items were shot down over Alaska and Canada in the previous days, as well as a Chinese ’spy balloon' being shot down the weekend before.
