US Military Shoots Down Four Unidentified Objects in North American Airspace in Two Weeks

The US military has shot down four unidentified objects in North American airspace in less than two weeks. On Saturday, an object was shot down over northern Canada, on Friday an object was shot down in Alaska airspace by a US F-22, and on Sunday a US fighter jet shot down an object near Lake Huron.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner said Sunday he prefers the US shooting down unidentified objects over North American airspace to allowing them to traverse the country. Officials said there are no indications of any collateral damage and that the object went down in the lake and officials expect to recover it.

Jack Bergman and Elissa Slotkin both tweeted earlier Sunday that they spoke to the Department of Defense and an “object” above Lake Huron was shot down. The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday to support Department of Defense activities, the agency said in a statement. The airspace has since been reopened.

The US military has not released any information about the objects or their origin. It is unclear what the objects were or why they were shot down. The US military is continuing to investigate the incident.
