Rep. Jim Himes: My Guess Is These Last Two Flying Objects We Shot Down Aren’t Chinese

EXCERPT:

HIMES: "Well, I’d -- first of all, I'd be surprised by that. I'm going to be careful because I don't know what the second and third objects were, but I'd be surprised by that. I mean, I think it's fair to say that the Chinese are probably pretty embarrassed that they let a surveillance platform -- the first one -- go over the United States. It became a, you know, cause célèbre around the world. We now own it. That's not a comfortable thing for the Chinese. And, of course, we canceled the trip of the Secretary of State. So, my guess is that the other two objects are not Chinese, that China is doing everything they can right now to keep as low a profile as possible. But who knows? We won't know for -- I guess until the administration fully briefs on what these things are. And to be fair, remember, Chuck, when you go by one of these things in an F-22 or an F-18, you're moving pretty fast. Until you actually pick up the pieces on the ground, there'll be some uncertainty."
