According to U.S. Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, it is still unclear how the three objects stayed in the air, as no engines or other propulsion systems were found on them to keep them at the altitude they were shot down from.
“I can’t categorize how it stays in the air. It could be a gas-filled balloon inside the structure or it could be some kind of propulsion system,” VanHerck said.
The general told Reuters that intelligence services are currently investigating all possibilities, including that the last three objects could be extraterrestrial bodies.
“I’ll leave it up to the intelligence community and counterintelligence to figure that out. I haven’t ruled anything out,” added VanHerck. “We call them objects, not balloons, for some reason,” he added.

The last unidentified object was shot down by a military fighter on the orders of US President Joe Biden on Sunday. It was the third shootdown in three days and so far the last strike over US airspace, which Pentagon officials say is unprecedented. The object was shot down over Lake Huron near the US-Canada border. The British came with the information Daily Mail.

Already on Friday, the United States shot down an unknown cylindrical object over northeastern Alaska, a similar one was shot down over Canada the day after. The last object shot down on Sunday had an octagonal shape.
According to the Canadians and Americans, not one of the downed objects (so far) has anything to do with the Chinese spy balloon shot down last Saturday. That is, except that he was shot down by American fighters.
