The object had flown over Michigan and other parts of the country before being shot down. It was determined to be a flight safety hazard and a potential surveillance threat due to its capabilities. The Department of Defense fired a missile from an F-16 fighter jet to take down the object. The incident has raised concerns about national security and the need for increased air defense measures. The origin and purpose of these unidentified objects remain unknown, and further analysis is required.
