A new “object” was shot down this Sunday by the American army above Lake Huron, near the Canada-US border.
On orders from Joe Biden, the US military “as a precaution” shot down a new “object” over Lake Huron, two elected officials announced on Sunday, the latest in mysterious flying objects that have placed US authorities United and Canada on high alert.
This object, the fourth in just over a week, “has been shot down by US Air Force pilots and the National Guard,” tweeted Michigan Democrat Elissa Slotkin, while her colleague Jack Bergman spoke about ‘object (…) decommissioned over Lake Huron’.
“The American people deserve a lot more answers than what we have,” added Jack Bergman on Twitter, reflecting the growing questions in the country and the political class about these events.
The United States believes that the first object officially detected, a balloon, was controlled by the Chinese military and was part of a fleet sent by Beijing over more than 40 countries on five continents, for the purpose of espionage .
The authorities are on the alert
Two other flying objects were then shot down by American forces, one Friday over Alaska, the other Saturday in Canada.
In the evening, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau must go to the province of Yukon, to the scene where the last was shot.
In a sign that authorities are on high alert, airspace over part of Lake Michigan in the northern United States was temporarily closed on Sunday for “national defense” reasons, according to the US civil aviation regulator (FAA).
“These restrictions have been put in place to ensure the safety of air traffic in the area during Norad operations,” the North American Aerospace Defense Command, Norad said in a statement.
