The U.S. military shot down another suspicious object on Sunday, marking the fourth object to be shot down by U.S. forces over North America in just over a week.
The latest high-altitude object was shot down over Lake Huron, officials said.
U.S. forces downed the object Sunday afternoon after the Federal Aviation Administration issued a “national defense airspace” temporary flight restriction Sunday afternoon over part of Lake Michigan. The restriction was removed after several hours.
“US military has decommissioned another ‘object’ over Lake Huron,” Michigan Rep. Jack Bergman (R) tweeted Sunday. “I appreciate the decisive action by our fighter pilots. The American people deserve far more answers than we have.”
Before Sunday the United States downed three objects within a week that were believed to be surveillance balloons.
Supposedly, it’s happened before. There’s no real accounting of how many times the ChiComs or some other hostile country penetrated U.S. airspace with similar devices and the military hierarchy simply ignored it.
Now all of a sudden, they’re shooting down floating objects all over the fucking place.
Democratic and Republican lawmakers are demanding President Biden provide “maximum transparency” on what the administration learns about the now four unidentified flying objects that have been shot down over the U.S. and Canada in recent days.
The U.S. military on Sunday shot down another unidentified flying object over Lake Huron in Michigan. It was the third time in as many days and the fourth overall since Feb. 4 that an “unidentified object” was shot down in North America.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) released a statement Sunday confirming that the fourth object was shot down by a F-16 at 2:42 p.m. “at the direction of President Biden, and based on the recommendations of Secretary Austin and military leadership.” The object was flying at 20,000 feet over Lake Huron, according to NORAD.
……However, neither the Pentagon nor NORAD has released additional information whether the object shot down Sunday was related to Chinese surveillance activities that led to the shooting down of a massive floating balloon last week over the coast of South Carolina, or other two floating objects shot down over Alaska and Canada.
A senior U.S. official told Fox News Sunday that the unidentified “objects” the U.S. shot down over Canada and Alaska are both believed to be balloons that were carrying a payload.
Montana GOP Sen. Steve Daines called the lack of transparency from the Biden administration after the shooting down of a fourth airborne object “unacceptable.”
……Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said that “lack of briefings” by the Biden administration on the objects is noticeable.
“There’s been space junk, weather balloons, spy balloons, and military advancements for years. All of sudden world super powers are shooting unidentified objects down,” she tweeted Sunday. “This looks like a testing of military prowess. Lack of evidence and briefings are extremely noticeable.”
……U.S. officials said the two more recent objects were much smaller in size, different in appearance and flew at lower altitudes than the suspected Chinese spy balloon that fell into the Atlantic Ocean after the U.S. missile strike.
They said the Alaska and Canada objects were not consistent with the fleet of Chinese aerial surveillance balloons that targeted more than 40 countries, stretching back at least into the Trump administration.
If anyone expects transparency from the Biden regime, good luck.
