The Federal Aviation Administration has declared a "national defense airspace" over part of Lake Michigan, the organization announced Sunday.
The FAA has not clarified why it has banned civilian air traffic from the area. The FAA last established a national defense airspace over Montana this weekend in reaction to an unidentified flying object.
"Pilots who do not adhere to the following [procedure] may be intercepted, detained and interview by law enforcement or security personnel," the FAA wrote in a Sunday announcement, adding that such pilots may face deadly force in the air.
The FAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
