Two military aircraft have been recorded by Flightradar24 over Lake Michigan and Lake Huron on Sunday. The last of these lakes, which lie next to each other, crosses the border between the states of Michigan in the USA and Ontario in Canada. Congressman Jack Bergman says that the US military has “taken down” an object from the airspace over Huron. – I appreciated the fighter pilot’s quick decision. The American people deserve far more answers than we have now, he wrote on Twitter. – The object has been taken down by pilots from the US Air Force and the National Guard, says representative Elissa Slotkin from Michigan, which lies on the south and west side of the lake. Two military sources also confirm to Reuters that such a shooting has taken place in the area. At the same time, Canada states that it has closed an airspace over Ontario, which houses parts of Lake Huron. It is not known whether these incidents have any connection. Congressman Jack Bergman also wrote about a recent shooting on Twitter. Airspace closed after spy balloon The Chinese balloon that was shot down over the USA on February 4 was a spy balloon, according to US authorities. Then the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) closed its airspace in response to the shooting, which took place in South Carolina. Before that time, it had crossed most of the northern United States, including places where nuclear weapons and large bombers are stored. It was one of several that have soared through the airspace of at least 40 countries, and the picture from the U2 spy plane shows that the balloon was clearly equipped to collect intelligence, they say further. When the balloon was first discovered, Chinese authorities claimed that it was there to collect weather information. It should nevertheless have had several antennas that are suitable for finding military transmitters on the ground, and a solar panel.
