News Wrap: U.S. takes down unidentified object over Lake Huron

John Yang:

There are reports that this afternoon the U.S. military shot down another unidentified object, this time over Lake Huron. It's the fourth one to have been downed after entering North American airspace in just the past two weeks.

Meanwhile, in the wilds of Yukon, Canadian recovery teams are searching for the wreckage of the unidentified object that was shot down yesterday. And the U.S. military is still combing Alaskan waters for debris from Friday shoot down. Far, there are few details about any of these aerial objects. U.S. and Canadian leaders have offered varied descriptions.

Anita Anand, Defense Minister, Canada:

We have no further details about the object at this time, other than it appears to be a small cylindrical object.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, Majority Leader:

Until they get that comprehensive analysis, however, we have to look at each balloon individually see what this does.

George Stephanopoulos, ABC News Host:

Were these balloons Friday and Saturday night?

Chuck Schumer:

They believe they were, yes, but much smaller than the one the first one.

John Yang:

The White House says the object shot down over Alaska and the Yukon did not resemble the Chinese surveillance balloon that was brought down last weekend.

A tropical cyclone is bearing down on New Zealand's Northern Islands that's led airlines to cancel flights and schools to cancel classes. Sheets of rain soaked areas that were already swamped by record deadly rainfall just last month. It's increasing the threat of landslides. Residents prepared for more drenching, filling sandbags to protect against heavy flooding.

And tonight's Super Bowl may be number 57, but it's also a game of first. Of course, it's been much discussed that it's the first time two black quarterbacks will start. It's also the first time two brothers will be on opposing teams, the first time a black woman will be on the sidelines as a coach, and the first time that the pregame flyover will be done by an all-female team of naval aviators.
