The United States Military has shot down another unidentified object that was seen flying over Lake Huron in Michigan Sunday, according to media reports.
This comes as the U.S. has already shot down three unidentified objects over North America in the past week.
The first was a Chinese spy balloon that was shot down by a fighter jet over the coast of South Carolina on February 4.
The U.S. government believes the other two objects were smaller balloons that were shot down over Canada and Alaska.
On Twitter, U.S. Representative Jack Bergman, who represents Michigan’s first district, confirmed military action over the Great Lakes region Sunday.
“I’ve been in contact with DOD regarding operations across the Great Lakes region today. The US military has decommissioned another “object” over Lake Huron,” Bergman tweeted.
Saturday, the Whitehouse released a readout of President Biden’s call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about the unidentified objects flying in U.S. and Canadian Airspace.
“Out of an abundance of caution and at the recommendation of their militaries, President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau authorized it to be taken down. President Biden authorized US fighter aircraft assigned to NORAD to conduct the operation, and a US F-22 shot down the object in Canadian territory in close coordination with Canadian authorities,” the statement read.
On Saturday, February 11. The Department of Defense released a statement following the incident that took place.
“A U.S. F-22 shot down the object in Canadian territory using an AIM 9X missile following close coordination between U.S. and Canadian authorities, to include a call today between Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III and Minister of Defense Anita Anand,” the statement read.
“As Canadian authorities conduct recovery operations to help our countries learn more about the object, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be working closely with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,” the statement concluded.
Canadian Minister of National Defense Anita Anand provided an update on what happened and clarified where the object was shot down.
“The object was downed approximately 100 miles from the Canada, United States Border, over Canadian territory, in central Yukon,” Anand said.
So far, four objects have entered U.S. and Canadian airspace since the Chinese spy balloon on February 4.
U.S. Congressman of the 22nd district in Texas Troy Nehls took to Twitter to voice his concerns.
“The U.S. military has shot down another unidentified flying object over Lake Huron. We need answers now,” the post read.
The Dallas Express reached out to Ted Cruz for comment but did not receive any by time of publication.
