The United States military shot down another unidentified flying object flying over Lake Huron close to the border with Canada. According to Michigan Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, it was shot down on Sunday by pilots from the Air Force and the National Guard.
Since the United States military destroyed what was believed to be a Chinese spy balloon on February 4, Washington has been on high alert. The incident that took place on Sunday marks the third time in as many days that US Air Force F-22 fighter jets have brought down an unidentified object flying at a high altitude. It is also the fourth shoot-down in just over a week.
US media states without naming the report that an F-16 fighter jet shot down the octagon-shaped object this time. Previous operations were conducted with F-22 Raptors. In all interceptions, AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles were used.The latest object flew at an altitude of around 20,000 feet, whereas the previous flew between 40,000 and 60,000 feet.
