U.S. jet missed with first missile while downing object over Lake Huron

Where is the evidence that these objects existed at all? The US Government has refused to share the footage captured by its airplanes so far.

The US Government is likely responsible for the trickery behind "The Battle of Los Angeles" and similar tricks in 1941 over NYC, both of which were likely staged in order to frighten the American public into supporting the war. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-time-a-ufo-invaded-lo_b_6...

Reminds me of the kid noob pilot who managed to land a Cessna 172 right next to the Kremlin in 1987 - because the U.S.S.R.'s state-of-the-art, ready-to-fight-NATO-to-the-death air defenses, fighter planes, etc. could not cope with an "invasion" by the world's most common model of 4-seater, single-engine propeller airplane.
