The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee warned the United States doesn’t have an adequate radar system after multiple incidents involving flying objects in recent days.

“We don’t really have adequate radar system, and we certainly don’t have an integrated missile defense system. We’re going to have to begin to look at the United States airspace as one that we need to defend,” Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), the House Intelligence panel’s chair, told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. “This shows some of the problems and gaps that we have.”
