North American Aerospace Defense Command NORAD, intercepted four Russian aircraft operating in Alaska Air Defense Zone on Monday.

The news comes days after an audio recording emerged revealing that two US Air Force pilots reportedly had difficulty tracking an unidentified object which was subsequently shot down over Lake Huron, Michigan on Sunday. F-16 Falcons from the Wisconsin Air National Guard were scrambled to intercept the object near the Canadian border, but were hampered in identifying it because of the glare of the sun.

Dramatic cockpit audio confirms that the pilots at one point, debated between themselves about whether it was a balloon.

“I wouldn’t really call it a balloon … I don’t know what … I can see it outside with my eyes,” one of the pilots says on the recording obtained by the Drive.

“Looks like something … there’s some kind of object that’s distended in the air. It’s hard to tell, it’s pretty small,” he says, pointing out that the glare in the cockpit is making it difficult to get a good look at his quarry. 

He then says, “I’ve got a tone,” indicating his missile has obtained a lock on the object, but he can’t still see it through the cockpit. The Air Force F-16 jet was using Sidewinder missiles to attack the target.

One of the pilots adds he can’t tell whether “it’s metallic or what. I can see, like, lines coming down below, but I can’t see anything below it,” before confirming the object was “definitely smaller than a car.”

"The first Sidewinder heat-seeking missile missed the target," one official said. It wasn't clear where the missile that missed ultimately landed. The second missile took down the target. Each of the missiles costs more than $400,000.

The downing of the object was the fourth to be destroyed since Feb. 4 when a Chinese spy balloon was shot down over South Carolina.

The Pentagon also revealed in a statement Saturday, that an unidentified object was shot down by a U.S. F-22 Raptor in Canadian airspace using an AIM 9X missile.

Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said in the statement that the North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD, shot down a "high-altitude airborne object" on Saturday following President Biden's call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

NORAD detected the object over Alaska late Friday evening and monitored the object over U.S. airspace with the assistance of the Alaska Air National Guard and was "tracking it closely and taking time to characterize the nature of the object."

Neither the Pentagon nor NORAD has released additional information on whether the object shot down Sunday was related to Chinese surveillance activities. A senior U.S. official on Sunday, reportedly said the unidentified "objects" the U.S. shot down over Canada and Alaska were both carrying a payload.

Republican lawmakers are demanding Biden provide "maximum transparency" on what the administration learns about the downed objects.

Senator Steve Daines(R-Montana) called the lack of transparency from the Biden administration "unacceptable."

"The lack of communication from the Biden administration regarding the closing of Montana airspace last night and the recent shoot-downs that took place over Alaska and Canada is unacceptable," Daines reportedly said in a statement.

"The top priority of the administration should be the safety and security of the people of the United States and keeping the American people informed is a key part of fulfilling that duty," Daines continued. "President Biden owes Montanans and the country an immediate and full explanation. Without information, the public and media are left to rely on leaks, speculation and worst of all disinformation from foreign governments."

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, MTG(R-Georgia), said that "lack of briefings" by the Biden administration on the objects is noticeable.

"There’s been space junk, weather balloons, spy balloons, and military advancements for years. All of sudden world super powers are shooting unidentified objects down," MTG tweeted Sunday. "This looks like a testing of military prowess. Lack of evidence and briefings are extremely noticeable."
