This is the fourth object the U.S. military has taken down in the last week, as pressure has mounted for the Biden administration to secure U.S. airspace following the appearance of a Chinese spy balloon earlier this month.
The U.S. military on Sunday shot down an as-yet-unidentified object over Lake Huron, Rep. Elissa Slotkin told The Daily Beast. The U.S. Air Force and National Guard participated in this latest shootdown, the congresswoman’s office said. Confirmation of this incident came moments after Rep.
Jack Bergman that U.S. fighter pilots had “decommissioned” an “object” over the lake bordering Michigan and the Canadian province of Ontario. The U.S. military shot down the balloon, and in recent hours had shot down an object over Canada on Saturday and another “object” over Alaska on Friday.
