On Sunday afternoon, another high-altitude object was brought down by the US military over Lake Huron, US officials confirmed.
This marks the third consecutive day that an unidentified object was shot down in North American airspace.
Previously, an object was taken down over northern Canada on Saturday and another in Alaska airspace by a US F-22 on Friday. Additionally, last weekend, F-22s shot down a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of South Carolina.
The object has been downed by pilots from the US Air Force and National Guard. Great work by all who carried out this mission both in the air and back at headquarters. We’re all interested in exactly what this object was and it’s purpose. 1/ https://t.co/LsjwtjntCv

I am in constant communication with NORCOM and they have just advised me that they have confidence there IS an object and it WAS NOT an anomaly. I am waiting now to receive visual confirmation. Our nation’s security is my priority.
