The Department of Defense downed a high-altitude object over Lake Huron Sunday afternoon, multiple outlets reported.
"I’ve been in contact with [the Department of Defense] regarding operations across the Great Lakes region today," Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) tweeted around 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
"The US military has decommissioned another 'object' over Lake Huron. I appreciate the decisive action by our fighter pilots. The American people deserve far more answers than we have."
"I've been in touch with the Pentagon, DHS, and FAA regarding the closure of air space over the Great Lakes. I'm glad the object was neutralized over Lake Huron and I'll continue pressing DoD for transparency," Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) tweeted around 4:15 EST.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) had not addressed the event on Twitter as of 4:30 p.m. Her most recent tweet, posted around 3:15 p.m., addressed the "Puppy Bowl."
Just prior to Congressman Bergman's tweet, colleague Rep. Elissa Slotkin (R-Mich.) also addressed the situation.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction over Lake Michigan Sunday afternoon, classifying the area as "[national] defense airspace." The Notice to Air Missions (formerly Notice to Airmen) was issued at 1:02 p.m. EST. It warned pilots who violated the TFR could face a litany of civil and criminal penalties and charges.

I did find out later the NOTAM was lifted so it is now back to normal ops - to view the NOTAM here - https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_3_4885.html
