Elon Musk wrote a tweet about the UFO that the United States shot down. Jokingly, Musk said it was his 'friends', aka aliens who were visiting Earth.
The Twitter boss wrote his tweet as a reaction from the United States which shot down an unidentified flying object in the past week. It was a balloon that had been hovering in the sky for days until it was shot down on February 4 by an F-22 jet off the coast of South Carolina.
"Don't worry, only my 👽 🛸 friends stopped by," wrote Elon Musk, who has 128 million followers on Twitter, as seen, Tuesday (14/2/2023).
It is known, the sky of the United States was colored with mysterious balloons in early February. The mysterious balloon is from China and has been shot down. A senior official source said Washington believed it was a spy balloon controlled by the Chinese military. The balloon that was shot down is believed to be part of a fleet of spy balloons that China has sent to some 40 countries on five continents to gather intelligence.
China has acknowledged that the balloons came from China. Nevertheless, the Chinese side denied that the mysterious balloon was intended for military activities. China claims the balloon is being used for weather research.
Most recently, there was another incident of an American fighter jet shooting down an unidentified flying object in Lake Huron, on the border of the United States and Canada. The F-16 aircraft dropped an octagonal flying object. This is the fourth incident in the past week. The United States military only provides limited information to the public.
US Air Force General Glen VanHerck as Head of the US North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and Northern Command said the US military had yet to identify the object that was shot. Asked whether the object was extraterrestrial in origin, VanHerck said he had not ruled out the possibility that it was alien-related.
