STILL ONE MORE: An Air Force jet has shot down still one more unidentified object, this time over Lake Huron, within the United States. From Fox:
The U.S. military on Sunday shot down another unidentified flying object over Lake Huron in Michigan.
The Defense Department (DOD) said President Joe Biden, shortly before 2:42 p.m., directed an F-16 to fire an AIM-9X missile to shoot down an airborne object flying at around 20,000 feet over Lake Huron.
The DOD said the path and altitude "raised concerns, including that it could be a hazard to civil aviation."
"The location chosen for this shoot down afforded us the opportunity to avoid impact to people on the ground while improving chances for debris recovery. There are no indications of any civilians hurt or otherwise affected," Lt. Col. César Santiago said in a statement.
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.
Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Mich., confirmed that the "U.S. military has decommissioned another ‘object’ over Lake Huron."
Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., tweeted that the object had been "downed" by Air Force and National Guard pilots.
"Great work by all who carried out this mission both in the air and back at headquarters. We're all interested in exactly what this object was and its purpose," Slotkin tweeted. "As long as these things keep traversing the US and Canada, I'll continue to ask Congress to get a full briefing based on our exploitation of the wreckage."
COMMENT: All very strange. Is something being held back from us, or is it really true that we have no idea where these craft came from? Are we monitoring the skies above China and Russia, with an eye toward detecting these objects sooner?
Most important, what is the goal of the people, whoever they are, in sending these strange objects over our territory?
I just have the gut feeling that someone in Washington knows a great deal, but can't reveal it openly.
We await the next confrontation.
