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.
The object was shot down because it could have been a "hazard" to "civil aviation," continued the statement, and there were "no indications" of civilians that were impacted. NORAD said a team is working to recover the object in "an effort to learn more."
