A newly released image of a UFO shot down by a US fighter jet over Canada in 2023 has raised questions about the object seen over the Yukon.<\/p>\n

Obtained via a Canadian freedom of information request from CTVNews, the grainy image of the UFO seems to be a photocopy of an email printout. The outlet says the blurred image depicted a \u201ccylindrical\u201d object identified as a \u201csuspected balloon.\u201d It was situated 40,000 feet above Canada in February 2023, just days before it was shot down.<\/p>\n

On February 11, 2023, a US F-22 fighter jet successfully intercepted and shot down the object. It had been tracked flying over Alaska eight days prior.<\/p>\n

Officials in the US and Canada resumed tracking the UFO as it entered Canadian airspace. This prompted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to authorize its destruction shortly after 4:50 p.m. An American pilot destroyed the target using an AIM-9X missile.<\/p>\n

The airborne object, previously referred to as a \u201csmall metallic balloon with a tethered payload,\u201d was observed alongside three other instances in which North America encountered unidentified aerial phenomena.<\/p>\n

From February 10 to February 12, three objects were observed drifting over North America before being shot down over Alaska, the Yukon, and Lake Huron, respectively.<\/p>\n

All of them were smaller than the suspected Chinese spy balloon that traveled from Alaska across the United States before being shot down over South Carolina on February 4, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
