In February 2023, following the detection of a series of high-altitude unidentified objects, US fighter jets shot down one of them over Lake Huron. Officials could not immediately confirm its nature at the time. In 2026, the F-16 gun-camera footage of this event was released through the second PURSUE tranche, becoming a notable example of the government proactively disclosing close-range military encounter imagery.
