And the White House separately reassures Americans:"There is no — again, no — indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns," Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says at her daily briefing.The U.S. military says it has recovered key sensors from the downed Chinese balloon.
