U.S. military shoots down unidentified object over Lake Huron

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military shot down an unidentified object Sunday over Lake Huron, the Pentagon confirmed — the fourth flying object in less than two weeks to be downed over North American airspace.

A senior administration official described the object to NBC News as an octagonal structure with strings hanging off, but no discernible payload. The location of the shootdown was chosen to minimize risks to people on the ground and to improve chances for recovering the debris, the statement said. There were no indications of any civilians hurt or otherwise affected, it said.

They finally figured out what they shot down Saturday!

OLD news

Sidewinder missiles cost $400,000 each. So far we have shot down 4 balloons at a cost of 1.6 mil. Why can't we use a bullet?

The truth about the Nord Stream 2 blast is stronger than your attention-grabbing tactics

Anybody find it strange that all these balloons originate in Alaska ? And how the U.S government said “there seems to be English writing on them”. That’s to cover that everyday Joes might zoom in on them and see American English written on them. No Chinese. Blame China.

You are one of the fake news giants. Do you believe in forced vaccines and forced camps? The reason I ask is the WHO is trying to push the WHO Pandemic Treaty. If you need a link to they are up to, I can provide the info.

If aircraft can't fly there it's space High-altitude balloon ~23km/80k', took 3-missiles so above airspace At 12km/40k' spying ? China w/300 satellites 24/7 like us Bogus issue, jetstream intensified & aimed north USA ended OpenSkies Treaty overflights need not notify 2022 🕊⚖️

Where's Joe Biden? Why has he said nothing?

I don’t like that our military shoots first and asks questions later. (escalation) Seems there should be more clever ways to remove an object (intact) from the sky.

Get some!

🥳

Go to war over it 🙏

Sure they did.

Where is Joe?

THIS IS FAKE NEWS, to distract you from the real news. fakenews

Sure they did. 🙄 Because the US Military routinely shoots down objects that they have not yet identified. 🙄 This is the distraction from the real news, and look how many are falling for it.

I hope the pilots are practicing shooting

pureMichigan

they ever going to bother to tell us wth they are shooting down? funny they go 8 days while allowing an obvious Chinese spy balloon to gather intel, but now they can't tell what they are shooting down?

Why would you shoot down numerous unidentified objects without capturing at least one of them? They weren't shooting back so grab it.

全世界都知道了，只有美国人最后知道的新闻。

Democrats say they were balloons.

嘿，怎么做到的10天了。

FAKE NEWS NBC

Vinyl chloride can't

Ladies & gentleman we are going to war. Thank you to all who voted in this weak woke administration in.

The United States Government shot down 3 “flying objects” in the last 48 hours and not one person got a photo or video of any of them? absurd there is zero media emerging. I get one or two locations were remote but why is there not footage from the government, (the F-22 pilots?)

Keep your eyes on our crooked government

Funny how the narrative changed so quickly

U.S. shoots down flying object over Lake Huron near Canadian borderThe U.S. military shot down a flying object over Lake Huron near the U.S.-Canada border, U.S. officials said on Sunday, in the fourth such interception by American fighters this month. Meanwhile, Canadian investigators are hunting for the wreckage of an unidentified flying object that was shot down by a U.S. jet over Yukon territory on Saturday. You mean this week? An intense polar vortex blowing weather balloons off course isn’t exactly uncommon, but uncommon stuff doesn’t distract people from the fact that the United States got caught a few days ago blowing up a gas pipeline. Distract, distract, distract.
