Currently, it is not known who the object belongs to, or the threat level it poses to the public.

Multiple balloons have been shot down by US military this month.

On February 4, what was thought to be a spy balloon from China was gunned down off of a South Carolina coast, noted.

Suspicious flying objects were riddled with bullets February 11 and February 12 as well.

Remnants of the balloon were taken after the crash, and it is believed that Hawaii and Guam were its desired destinations, before it was taken off its intended path.

This was the only instance so far where the leftover parts from the suspicious balloon were obtained.

One of the objects was brought down in Alaska, while the other was brought down over Canada's Yukon territory.

And, a third object was brought down over Lake Huron.

President Joe Biden revealed that there was no evidence the three aerial objects down in Alaska, Canada, and over Lake Huron were related to Chinese spying.

He said: "I want to be clear - we don't have any evidence that there's been a sudden increase in the number of objects in the sky.

"We're now just seeing more of them partially because of the steps we've taken to increase our radars."

Biden also said that the US will continue to engage with China, adding that the country is "not looking for another Cold War."

He said: "Make no mistake, if any object presents a threat to the safety and security of the American people, I will take it down.

"We're not looking for a new Cold War, but I make no apologies.

"I make no apologies and we will compete and will we responsibly manage that competition so that it doesn't veer into conflict."
