One pilot says that the object looked “metallic” with lines or strings coming out of it but there was nothing that could be spotted below that could explain if it was tethered to something on the ground.
Another described the object as “smaller than a car,” almost like a “Blak-ish…container” but later described it to be the size of a “four-wheeler.” Discussions over it being a balloon also come up and one of the pilots ultimately classifies it as one. FAA decommissioned the fourth object in the sky after closing down airspace over sections of Lake Michigan amid UFO reports.
The third mysterious item in the sky to be shot down in the past few days, intelligence officials were baffled as to what the objects might be.
Numerous sightings of unexplained objects over American airspace have led many UFO enthusiasts to conclude that aliens are responsible.
The idea gained support from an official US position that indicated it was impossible to rule out the possibility that the objects were extraterrestrial. However, there hasn’t been any proof to date to back up that theory.
The three other objects that were spotted above Alaska, Michigan, and Canada have been more difficult to identify than the “airship” that was shot down by US F-22 fighters on February 4.
