A map showing where the unidentified object was spotted
Another unidentified object has been shot down by the US Air Force tonight.
Republican senator Jack Bergman said the military had ‘decommissioned’ another ‘object’ over Lake Huron, in Michigan.
He wrote on Twitter earlier this evening: ‘I have been in contact with Department of Defence regarding operations across the Great Lakes region today.
‘The military has decommissioned another “object” over Lake Huron. I appreciate the decisive action by our fighter pilots.
‘The American people deserve far more answers than we have.’
The operation marks the third day in a row that an unidentified object was shot down over North American airspace.
Unconfirmed footage shared on social media shows a round object hovering in the sky, near the border with Canada.
Meanwhile, Canadian investigators are hunting for the wreckage of yet another unidentified flying object that was shot down by a US jet over Yukon territory on Saturday.
‘Recovery teams are on the ground, looking to find and analyze the object,’ prime minister Justin Trudeau told reporters today.
‘The security of citizens is our top priority and that’s why I made the decision to have that unidentified object shot down.’
The Canadian leader stressed that it had posed a danger to civilian aircraft.
North America has been on high alert for aerial intrusions after the appearance of a white, eye-catching Chinese airship over American skies earlier this month.

The Denver street where a man shot and killed a 12-year-old child who drove off in his stolen car (Picture: CBS)
A man in Denver shot and killed a 12-year-old boy after finding him in his stolen car.
On Sunday, a man filed a stolen vehicle report with the Denver Police Department after his vehicle was stolen in a shopping mall. Police have not yet identified the man.
At the same time, he began tracking his stolen vehicle with an app. He found his car 10 miles away, occupied by an undisclosed number of individuals.
‘When the vehicle’s owner approached the car, he was involved in an exchange of gunfire with the occupant(s) in the stolen vehicle,’ Denver police said in a news release.
It is unclear who shot first and how many shots were fired.
One of the occupants, later identified as 12-year-old Elias Armstrong, drove the car a few blocks away, where he was eventually found by police. The other occupants fled from the scene on foot.
Armstrong was wounded by a gunshot, and was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. His death was ruled a homicide by a medical examiner.
Police said the investigation into the shooting is still ongoing. The man was not arrested immediately after the shooting, and it is unclear if he will face any charges.
This is not the first instance of children dying as a result of gun violence this year. On January 17, a 14-year-old girl shot and killed an 11-year-old boy in Dallas, Texas.
The 14-year-old shooter had gotten into a fight with another girl, when one of the girls pulled out a gun and started shooting.
The victim, De’Evan McFall, was just a bystander watching the fight.
The shooter fled into a nearby apartment, but was quickly found by police. She has since been charged with murder. It is still unclear how she got ahold of the gun used in the first place.
