FAA declares 'National Defense Airspace' over Lake Michigan

A replacement tanker has joined up, and an E-3 has been added.

The new tanker is 59-1488 based out of Maine. The E-3 is SNTRY25, 78-0578.

Guess all those years of alien propaganda is being used now? Carrot dangling on a stick in motion. It's actually working... I'm really amused. Everyone is on the "Alien" bandwagon... The distraction is actually working.

The Federal Aviation Administration has abruptly canceled a "national defense airspace" over part of Lake Michigan, the organization announced Sunday.

The FAA says it closed down the area to allow the U.S. military to examine a "potential contact" that was soon determined to not be a threat. The FAA last established a national defense airspace over Montana this weekend in reaction to an unidentified flying object.

"Pilots who do not adhere to the following [procedure] may be intercepted, detained and interviewed by law enforcement or security personnel," the FAA wrote in an initial Sunday announcement, adding that such pilots may face deadly force in the air.

"Those aircraft did not identify any object to correlate to the radar hits. NORAD will continue to monitor the situation," the statement continued.

Is this the same lake that the thread is about? Also, this:

The unidentified "objects" the U.S. shot down over Canada and Alaska are were both believed to be balloons carrying a payload, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Fox News on Sunday.

Details regarding the over Canada object were scarce throughout the weekend, but U.S. officials now describe it as a "small metallic balloon with a tethered payload," the official told Fox. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also said he received a briefing on the issue Sunday and was told that the device over Alaska was also believed to be a balloon.

The devices were "much smaller" than the Chinese spy craft shot down last week, however, Schumer told ABC's This Week.

They moved it to Lake Huron.

Thanks for the information! We’d all be like “balloons… pffffttt!!” Semi-rigid though is serious enough to warrant the response. That means someone wants the craft back!

And what a way to introduce a black triangle!! “Look what we got! See!! We are doing something!!”

Just an idea… or is that a trial balloon??



Thanks again for keeping us sane!!

Canada hunts for wreckage of latest unidentified object 🎈

OTTAWA/WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. military brought down a flying object over Lake Huron near the U.S.-Canada border, the fourth such interception by American fighters this month, a Michigan congressman said.

U.S. Representative Jack Bergman said on Twitter the U.S. military had "decommissioned another 'object' over Lake Huron. I appreciate the decisive action by our fighter pilots."

Now, I see this Canadian Cheta

On CNN just now, a State Dept official said the military has to be sure they're not shooting things down that don't need to be shot down. 🤣🤣

This one was at 20,000 feet. It was shot down by an F-16.

I’m seeing that the object was “octagonal” - I’m on mobile but will post a link when I’m back at my desktop

If I were to guess, I'd say that different shapes are being tested at different altitudes to test against various sensors. I am guessing that they are semi rigid airships, with a payload package carried internally.

Right...don't hit an innocent alien!

AESIR11 (91-0405) and AESIR12 (91-0408) F-16s from the 148th Fighter Wing at Duluth were credited with the shootdown over Lake Huron.

is this the 4th or 5th one now?

a reply to: interupt42

Four. This was the one over Montana last night.

I would guess (sorry if someone has said it already, I haven't read everything yet)
The balloon was to get attention and make sure there's public interest so the media reports about it. And those other objects are to test for weakspots, find a corridor with the longest undetected trajectory/ response time /whatever.
I don't know how and if the laser over Hawaii fits in? I think it's connected could also just be to stir up attention? As a bonus basically causing UFO hysteria...
Anyhoo I'm not on top of things wasn't there another 'radar anomoly' that hasn't been shot down?
Because if that's still true I'd say that's the dangerous one because it would mean 'they' found a weakspot.

Or is there a flaw in my line of thought

That was the one shot down over Lake Huron. They couldn’t find it over Montana, and it drifted over the Lakes overnight and this morning.

Alright, good. Thanks
