U.S. military shoots down unidentified object over Lake Huron via nbcnews
WASHINGTON — The U.S. military shot down an unidentified object Sunday over Lake Huron, the Pentagon confirmed — the fourth flying object in less than two weeks to be downed over North American airspace.
A senior administration official described the object to NBC News as an octagonal structure with strings hanging off, but no discernible payload. The location of the shootdown was chosen to minimize risks to people on the ground and to improve chances for recovering the debris, the statement said. There were no indications of any civilians hurt or otherwise affected, it said.
