See cases of unidentified flying objects that have appeared in several countries
In less than 24 hours, the airspace over Lake Michigan, in the northern United States, was closed for “national defense” reasons and quickly reopened. The second time this has happened this Sunday (12), announced the Civil Aviation Authority of America (FAA).
Lake Michigan is one of the Great Lakes in the northern part of the country, near the Canadian border.

Canada says it has closed its airspace over the city of Tobermory, in the state of Ontario – which is close to the US border.
The partial shutdown came after three flying objects, including one described by Washington as a Chinese spy balloon, were shot down in a week in the US and Canada, a day after a similar ban in Montana to investigate a “radar anomaly”, according to the army.
The US shot down three flying objects
On Saturday, a US F-22 fighter shot down an unidentified cylindrical object in the sky over Canada. It was the second in two days, and put North America on high alert after the week-long Chinese spy balloon saga that has captured worldwide attention.
Additionally, the US Army deployed fighter jets to Montana to investigate a radar anomaly that led to the brief closure of federal airspace.
“This aircraft did not identify any objects that correlated with what the radar was showing,” the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) said in a statement.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the fall of the object in the northern Yukon Territory on Saturday, saying Canadian troops would retrieve and analyze the wreckage.
Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand declined to speculate on the origin of the object, which she said was cylindrical.
He didn’t actually call it a balloon, but said it was smaller than the China balloon that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina a week ago, despite a similar appearance..
US President Joe Biden authorized the US Army to work with Canada to shoot down the high-flying plane following a phone call between Biden and Trudeau, the Pentagon said.
