The president said the object and two others shot down may have been benign but haven’t been recovered.
President Joe Biden on Thursday gave a brief statement regarding three unidentified objects shot down by the U.S. in recent days, including one brought down in Lake Huron on Sunday, saying, « We don’t know exactly what these three objects were. »
Separately, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police sent out a statement Thursday afternoon indicating they and their international partners — presumably meaning the Americans — had suspended the search for the object, perhaps indefinitely, « due to several factors including deteriorating weather and the low probability of recovery. »
The National Weather Service said there was a potential for heavy snow, gusts of up to 30 knots and waves of up to 11 feet Thursday night on northern Lake Huron with poor conditions continuing into Friday.
Neither the U.S. Defense Department nor the U.S. Coast Guard, both of which were involved in recovery efforts, immediately responded to questions about the search being suspended.
