The FAA ended its traffic ban over Montana later Saturday, with NORAD releasing a statement indicating that the object was only a radar anomaly.

Nevertheless, Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., released a statement on Twitter saying NORTHCOM believes there is an object above the state that is not an anomaly.

"I am in constant communication with NORCOM [sic] and they have just advised me that they have confidence there IS an object and it WAS NOT an anomaly. I am waiting now to receive visual confirmation. Our nation’s security is my priority," he wrote Sunday.
