"One thing we have to consider, and we believe the intelligence community is considering as an explanation, is that these could be balloons tied to commercial or research entities and therefore totally benign," Kirby said.

South Carolina, Alaska, Canada, and Michigan's Lake Huron each reported unidentified objects flying overhead.

A part of Montana airspace was temporarily closed due to a “radar anomaly,” then later reopened, after an unidentified object was shot down over Canada, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said.

The Pentagon issued a statement Saturday revealing details about how an unidentified object was shot down by the U.S. military over Canada.

The U.S. shot down a fourth flying object Sunday afternoon at 20,000 feet above Michigan’s Lake Huron, the Pentagon said, underscoring its stepped-up defense of North American airspace following the discovery of a suspected Chinese spy balloon.

The binational organisation protecting US and Canadian airspace has shot down another “high-altitude airborne object” over northern Canada.

The U.S. military on Friday shot down an "object" flying in territorial waters over Alaska less than a week after an F-22 fighter jet shot down a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic.

President Joe Biden says he gave his authorization to shoot down a Chinese high altitude balloon a day after he was first briefed on the suspicious device, which was hovering over sensitive US military sites, but defense officials convinced him to wait until it was safe for people on the ground.

A third Chinese spy balloon could be lingering near US interests, but officials won't say where it is.

Epps was caught on video telling the crowd to go into the Capitol the next day, saying, "Tomorrow we need to go in to the Capitol. In to the Capitol."
