The Federal Aviation Administration announced Saturday it has issued a temporary flight restriction over a portion of Montana shortly after an unidentified object was shot down over Canada.
"The FAA closed some airspace in Montana to support Department of Defense activities," the FAA told Fox News Digital in a statement on Saturday evening.
The airspace being closed down is in the area around Havre, Montana not far from the U.S. border with Canada.

No the air space would not be closed due to rc airplanes or drones. A notam maybe but mot a closure
Air space is no longer closed.
The one time you’d expect Monkey Werx to be live on YouTube it would be yesterday or today. Missed opportunity.
Where’s Eddie Richenbacher when we need him?
Note the unused airspacee from DC south to Georgia. I do not believe there was any TFR/Notam for this. If I recollect, it lasted most of the morning.
We were told that it’s okay for the Chicom balloon to have traversed the continent, as we were watching it. If so, why the need to shoot down new incursions?
They are as stupid as they think we are.

Did deh find whewl awiens?
It was a (feeble) joke (of sorts).😔
Frank Luke was the Arizona Balloon Buster.
Here's a clip from the Fresno Reservoir livecam moments ago inside the Restricted Airspace right now around Havre, #Montana. I'm not sure what this is I saw in the top lefthand corner, but I thought it was worth recording. 🤷♀️ pic.twitter.com/5LMlzBHAWE— BirdingPeepWx (@BirdingPeepWx) February 12, 2023
The cam is located here in the circled area facing North. pic.twitter.com/VAIXlEuMO2— BirdingPeepWx (@BirdingPeepWx) February 12, 2023
Back in 52 or 53 a minor league GM took 8mm film of two objects like this passing over his ballpark which I think was in Idaho. I sa w the vid when I was a kid when I saw the film UFO about Project Sign and Blue Book as seen by press officer Al Chop who later became NASA spokesman and public info backup to Shorty Powers.
I suppose on the bright side, the ballo0ns are not likely to be carrying a nuclear payload as those bombs are reputed to be very heavy.
However, biological or chemical warfare/attack, is most certainly not off the table.
Very interesting......
