Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand said in a statement Sunday evening that a “high-altitude object” was detected in U.S. airspace over Lake Huron. “NORAD launched Canadian and U.S. aircraft to investigate and the object was taken down in U.S. airspace by U.S. aircraft,” Anand said. Nor have they offered reasons why the airspace was closed over Lake Michigan when the object was spotted over Lake Huron. Defence Minister Anita Anand said Saturday the Yukon object was “potentially similar” to the Chinese spy balloon destroyed Feb. 4. The second object that was shot down over Alaska Friday was said to be about the size of a small car.
