Full story: Another ‘high-altitude airborne object’ shot down over Canada, Trudeau confirms
An American F-22 Raptor fighter jet shot down another high-altitude “object” on Saturday, according to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace,” he announced. “[North American Aerospace Defense Command] shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and US aircraft were scrambled, and a US F-22 successfully fired at the object.”
The latest incident marks the third intrusion into North American airspace within a week, after President Biden ordered US military to take down what officials described as a “small car-sized” airborne object on 10 February and after a suspected Chinese surveillance craft was shot down over the Atlantic Ocean on 4 February.
