Now the work of trying to find the debris, if possible. There is an E3B airborne surveillance aircraft in the area. It would fine tune where the object was, where it landed, and control the various military aircraft which responded.

NEW: According to Canadian senior government source with direct knowledge of the situation.

What we know now: US Congressman says pilots have "decommissioned" object over Lake Huron. Response aircraft airborne now. Earlier, restricted airspace over Lake Michigan (just to the west) was reopened. Now, Canadian airspace restricted over portion of Lake Huron.

Another air defence operation over Canada, this time near Tobermory, Ontario. Airspace closed. Could be something or, like Montana yesterday, a radar blip and nothing more. @cbcnews
