US Army Shoots Down Flying Object Near Lake Huron

Yesterday, US warplanes shot down an octagonal flying object near Lake Huron. The US missile was the fourth flying object shot down in North America. Air Force General Glen VanHerck, who is in charge of protecting US airspace, made a special statement to reporters. He said it was unclear what the three objects were, where they came from and how they remained in the air.

VanHerck, head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and Northern Command, said: "There is a reason they are called objects and not balloons." He also said they would consider aliens and other explanations. Another defense official at the US command said the military has no evidence that the objects are extraterrestrial.

Flying object shot down on orders of President Joe Biden

Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Patrick Ryder made statements about the flying object. The flying object, which could not be identified in the official statement, was shot down on the order of President Joe Biden. This object was shot down by a US F-16 fighter jet at 14:42 local time. The incident took place exactly around Lake Huron on the US-Canadian border. Patrick Ryder said the object posed no military threat. He told reporters that it may have been shot down because it was thought to affect domestic traffic at 20,000 feet (6,100 m) while traveling alone. There are also suspicions that it may have surveillance capabilities.

An unnamed US official said the object was octagonal in shape and had dangling ropes. But he added that the object was not carrying any noticeable cargo. The Pentagon believes it could be the same object that recently caused the closure of sensitive military areas and US airspace in Montana. VanHerck announced that the US military will begin investigations into the object that fell into Lake Huron.

The downed flying name in the US has raised many questions. "We need real information about where the objects are coming from, their purpose and why they are increasing," said US Representative Debbie Dingell on the incident that increased tensions between China and the US.

American officials identified the first object as a Chinese surveillance balloon. Therefore, the object was shot down off the coast of South Carolina on February 4. On Friday, a second object fell on sea ice near Deadhorse, Alaska. The third object was destroyed on Saturday in Yukon, Canada. Investigators continue to search for debris. On Sunday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it was decided to drop unidentified objects for the safety of its citizens.
