The US military shoots down another high-altitude object from the skies, this time over Lake Huron, sources say. It's the third in as many days.
A second US official said the takedown of the unidentified object was “at the direction” of President Joe Biden. The operation marks the third day in a row that an unidentified object was shot down over North American airspace. An unidentified object was shot down over northern Canada on Saturday. On Friday, an unidentified object was shot down in Alaska airspace by a US F-22. And last weekend, a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon was taken down by F-22s off the coast of South Carolina.
I’m glad to report it has been swiftly, safely, and securely taken down,” the Democrat tweeted. “The @MINationalGuard stands ready.” The object was flying at 20,000 feet over Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and was about to go over Lake Huron when it was neutralized, a senior administration official told CNN on Sunday. The object was “octagonal” with strings hanging off and no discernable payload, according to the official and another source briefed on the matter.
