Shortly after the announcement was made, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) followed up and cancelled the airspace shut down.

Fox News reports:

The Federal Aviation Administration has abruptly canceled a “national defense airspace” over part of Lake Michigan, the organization announced Sunday.

The FAA has not clarified why it initially banned civilian air traffic from the area earlier Sunday only to open up the airspace hours later. The FAA last established a national defense airspace over Montana this weekend in reaction to an unidentified flying object.
