United States: airspace briefly closed over Lake Michigan for ‘national defense’ reasons

The airspace above Lake Michigan in the northern United States, temporarily closed for “National Defense“, reopened, announced Sunday the regulator of the American civil aviation (FAA).

“The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened“, the regulator said in a statement.

The news comes as three flying objects, including one described by Washington as a Chinese spy balloon, were shot down in a week over the United States and Canada.
