A U.S. F-22 fighter jet shot down an unidentified object over Canada on Saturday, the second such shootdown in as many days, as North America appeared on heightened alert following a week-long Chinese spying balloon saga that drew the global spotlight.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the shootdown on Twitter and said it took place over the Yukon territory in the country's north. He said Canadian forces would recover and analyze the wreckage from the object.

So Canada can’t (won’t) shoot down over their own territory? What gives?
No joke. Our inability to detect these balloons is a serious national security threat. The fact that they had to go back to the records to figure out there were three incursions during the Trump Administration is lunacy. How far back did they go? To the Obama/Biden Administration?
Fake news to prove Biden and Trudeau are on top of things.
Never thought I could believe that EVERYTHING in the mainstream news was a lie or a ruse....but I am 99.5% there.
In real term China most likely has a solid grip on our WH and most of our Congress. Why isn't Canada throwing a hissy fit about US conducting military shoot-downs over their country?
On the bright side we almost certainly already know everything of value about the "balloons"
Canada needs to see China get bitch-slapped in a way that has enormous internal Chinese political consequences, and we need to be prepared to step in and help its new government sort things out.
I really dont get why lil green men would want to come here..imagine saying “take us to your leader” seriously, Biden, he doesn’t even know who the leader is
Timing of our response. Weak.
Video CNN: US Pilots approaching object shot down over Alaska said the aircraft interfered with their plane’s sensors, another said they ‘could identify no identifiable propulsion system and they did not know how it was actually staying in the air’

What part of UNIDENTIFIED, FLYING, or OBJECT do you not get?
Nothing says it was extraterrestrial.
Sounds like they shot down one of those Tic-Tac UAPs that the F-18 Super Hornet pilots from the USS Nimitz tangled with several years ago. They said it had no visible propulsion systems.
There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom?”
Hot Pursuit outta Alaska
If we were really doing this it wouldn’t be in the news.
We joke around and all that, and I’m right in there with the gags. But don’t don’t be surprised if one of these “balloons” goes off with a big surprise.
Lacks blurry image due to AABT (advanced alien blurring tech).
The Globalists are going all out.
When was the last time the US had an operational fighter aircraft that was NOT a jet? The P51 (F51) Mustang was withdrawn from ANG service in 1957 ...
No other countries have the F-22.
I have seen that question several times; wish I could ping everyone that asked.
The CF18 Hornet has a service ceiling of 50,000 ft.
The F22 Raptor has a publicly announced service ceiling of 65,000 ft.
That should be sufficient answer to your question.
