- North American Aerospace Defense Command said the central Montana airspace was closed after the agency “detected a radar anomaly,” but a search jet didn’t find anything.
- “Those aircraft did not identify any object to correlate to the radar hits. NORAD will continue to monitor the situation,” the agency said.
- However the NORAD’s statement conflicted with Montana Rep. Matt Rosedale tweet in which he said an “object” that could “interfere with commercial aircraft” had been spotted.
- The activity followed a U.S. jet, as part of a NORAD effort, shooting down what has been described as a “small cylindrical object” over Canada airspace.
