According to a Pentagon memo sent to lawmakers, the unidentified object shot down in Canadian airspace on Saturday appeared to be a “small, metallic balloon” that crossed near “U.S. sensitive sites.” Members of Congress want more information after a total of three unidentified objects were shot down in just three days. Retired Canadian Air Force Maj. Gen. Scott Clancy is the former Director of Operations at NORAD. He tells Anderson Cooper whether he thinks it’s strange that there is so little information known about these objects.

Plus, more than 36,000 people have died after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Turkey and Syria. CNN Senior Correspondent Sara Sidner joins AC360 from Adiyaman, Turkey where survivors continue to search and hold out hope that their loves ones will be pulled from the rubble alive.
