Talk of UFOs across the US has been taking over the media recently, with the US general announcing that he hasn’t ruled anything out. The U.S. has called off the search for two of the mysterious objects after coming up empty handed. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters Friday that the US government may never fully determine what the three objects shot down over North America were.
