Faa temporarily closed airspace over parts of lake michigan. we then saw tweets from congressional lawmakers from michigan, including congresswoman elissa slotkin, who then tweeted half an hour ago at this point, that this was in fact an object they were monitoring. a couple minutes later, i was able to confirm and break with courtney kube that this object was short down -- it seems like a matter of hours. its interesting that the airspace was so quickly reopened and it suggests that they were a...

From all the different stakeholders including international powers and that is why we say, please put politics aside and keep your eyes on the ball. the that is to reach these people who have desperate need and they have suffered so many losses and they need us to tell them that we are there for them. we will stand by them. not just this week and not just next week, they need support in the long run. because sometimes there are new crises emerging and people shift attention. we need to stay focu...

With me now is nbc news correspondent -- what can you tell us about this object that was shot down in michigan? >> it is good to be with you. the reality is, we have more questions than answers and that goes for congressional lawmakers as well up on capitol hill because we know now that this is at least the fourth object that the u.s. military has shot down in the last eight days since that first chinese surveillance balloon was spotted. what we dont know is where this object came from. it was t...

See a pattern as i look at social media. all of a sudden, massive speculation about alien invasions and additional chinese action or russian action. in the absence of information, peoples anxiety leads them into potentially destructive areas. i do hope that very soon, the administration has more information for all of us on what is going on. >> for more on all of this, lets bring in my political panel. -- if the white house juror -- -- is an msnbc -- four former speaker paul ryan. welcome. i don...

Know how to look out for them before? that is one of the main question senator jon tester -- he is the leader of the defense -- is looking to answer. senator -- he asked jake sullivan overnight as well. as lawmakers get into town this morning, at least on the senate side, we are sure this week will be all focused on china as well. again, this object, the last three, the last to at least, one over canada included, it is not clear if that came from china or elsewhere. it is something our militarie...

Extent, you know, maybe we picked it up over the southern portion of the illusions. but then our president sounded a little surprised that he made a decision on wednesday. like like that was when he first heard about it, so thats a little bit surprising. a lot of us were concerned about the timing of all that. david flippo retired lieutenant colonel from the u. s air force. we appreciate your expertise. thanks. thank you, jim. the canadian defense minister had a fairly wide ranging news conferen...

Hard, weve been pushing back with facts, with the truth. and i think that they have been unsuccessful at this point, either trying to actually prove that theyve got the wrong issues on the other side. i think the chairman, mr. comer, i hope that he shifts and actually brings issues that actually matter to the american people, inflation, the economy. right now, it just looks there just chasing a bunch of mistruths. >> congressman, we are of course waiting for this briefing to start out of canada....

Patient -- last week, the u.s. shot down one of these balloons. they said they called it a chinese surveillance balloon. china pushed back, saying it was a weather balloon. what is canadas position? >> this is an object. this is a cylindrical object that we shot down today. it appears to be a cylindrical object. and we are working to analyze the debris to identify more specifics about this object. it appears to be smaller in size than the one that the united states shut down off the coast of nor...

The chinese spy balloon that we found recently. i mean, we should do so as well with these last two objects. more broadly, i think over the next few years, because of technology, not just thats accessible to the average citizen, but our own government, we are going to see it have more ability to hopefully stop these types of incursions in our airspace. so, i think the best way to address this is just to get answers, as much information to the public as possible. and i think the, in particular bi...
