Kash Patel, former chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense, said NORAD’s chief’s refusal to rule out extraterrestrial origins of airborne objects shot down from the skies in Canada and the U.S. is a deliberate distraction away from President Joe Biden’s “failures.”
Patel assessed China’s recent deployment of a high-altitude balloon into U.S. airspace reflects a brazenness as a product of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) perceptions of the Biden administration’s weakness.
