Turnip rock, a geological rock formation stands in Lake Huron near Port Austin, Mich.Another high-altitude object was shot down on Sunday afternoon, this one over Lake Huron, three U.S. officials confirmed to ABC News, markingThe object was shot down by a U.S. military aircraft, according to one of the officials. Further details were not yet available about the object or how it had traveled into the U.S.
"As long as these things keep traversing the US and Canada, I’ll continue to ask for Congress to get a full briefing based on our exploitation of the wreckage," Slotkin wrote. The first one, a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon, was tracked across the continental U.S. and then shot down off the coast of South Carolina by a U.S. fighter jet on Feb. 4. The balloon caused bipartisan concern in Washington after it floated across Alaska, Canada and then through the U.S., passing over sensitive military installations, including at least one housing intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The military waited to shoot it over the Atlantic Ocean out of concerns that downing it could risk people on the ground being injured by debris, officials have said. The delay in downing nonetheless sparked criticism from Republicans and some Democrats that President Joe Biden and the Pentagon waited too long to handle the balloon.
