U.S. officials are not ruling out the possibility that a number of unidentified objects shot down in recent days may be of an extraterrestrial origin.

Gen. Glen D. VanHerck, the commander of the United States Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command, was asked by reporters in a briefing on Sunday whether or not officials have ruled out that the objects may be of alien origin and if so, why.
