>I received a briefing tonight at the White House about an object in Montana airspace. I will continue to receive regular updates.

>With questions about the Chinese spy balloon still unanswered, the Biden administration must be fully forthcoming with Montanans and all Americans.

One of Montana's house reps said:

>I am in direct contact with NORCOM and monitoring the latest issue over Havre and the northern border. Airspace is closed due to an object that could interfere with commercial air traffic — the DOD will resume efforts to observe and ground the object in the morning.

Something is definitely happening. We shot down an object over Alaska yesterday, and then again today we shot down yet another object over Canada.

That's three objects shot down in about a week, whereas the last time we shot anything down over US airspace was arguably during WW2.
