Temporary RA NOTAM was Centered over Havre, Montana. Surface to 34,000ft.
“The incident began around 3:45 p.m. MT on Saturday when two F-15 fighter jets were scrambled out of Portland to investigate the unidentified object. The FAA closed the airspace around Havre, Montana – close to the Canadian border – around 5:30 p.m.
“Airspace is closed due to an object that could interfere with commercial air traffic,” United States Representative Matt Rosendale said in a brief statement. U.S. Senators Jon Tester and Steve Daines confirmed that an object was being monitored in Montana airspace.
The airspace reopened around 6:30 p.m. and Rosendale said the Department of Defense (DOD) will resume efforts to observe and ground the object on Sunday morning.”
