The US military shot down an unidentified flying object over Lake Huron on Sunday (February 12th), after a week-long Chinese balloon spy saga that intensified the hunt for violations of North American airspace.
This object, the fourth in just over a week, “
has been shot down by US Air Force pilots and the National Guard
,” tweeted Michigan Democrat Elissa Slotkin, while her colleague Jack Bergman spoke about an "
object (...) decommissioned over Lake Huron
".
Officials who spoke on condition of anonymity declined to give details of when the latest object appeared.
They also did not specify whether it was maneuverable or simply floated in the air currents.
