US suspects three unidentified objects it shot down were 'benign'
By Max MatzaBBC News

The objects may be " tied to commercial or research entities and therefore benign" spokesman John Kirby said.

At Tuesday's daily news conference, Mr Kirby said it will be difficult to determine The purpose or origin of The three other objects until The debris is found and analysed.
" We haven't seen any indication or anything that points specifically to The idea that These Three objects were part of The PRC's [People's Republic of China] spying programme, " The White House National Security Council told reporters, " or that they were definitively involved in external intelligence collection efforts".
A " leading explanation" being considered by US intelligence, he added, was that " these could be balloons that were simply tied to commercial or research entities and therefore benign".
But he noted that no company, organisation or government had yet laid claim to The objects.
