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.

Let’s hope it was an unmanned - ummm’ un-thinged UFO...
Do you suppose that is the reason why Canadian F-18s didn’t shoot it down?

Unfortunately, the Chinese have a solid grip on Canada so having Canadian forces collect the wreckage ensures we never get to know what it was. Do you suppose that is the reason why Canadian F-18s didn’t shoot it down? |
It could explain things....but I would think Canada would have objected to US fighters enterring its airspace to shoot it down. If that happened, then US military would have to 'muscle in' with the demand that Canada not harbor aircraft/equipment that threatens US national security. So Canada maybe couldn't stop the shootdown but protected the wreckage?
Yes, it’s hard to say. Interesting, however.
“He said Canadian forces would recover and analyze the wreckage from the object.”
Let’s hope they don’t check what’s in the trunk:
Anyone recall the TV series of a few years ago; “Jericho”?
It was about the Chinese military invasion of the USA.
Yeah. What’s up with that, eh? Bunch a hosers.
The UNIDENTIFIED part, of course they KNEW and it was IDENTIFIED, BANK ON IT!!!
Love this guy but Graham Hancock has him beat out.
Without a Trace
Tell me abut it. Repo was the only decent movie that made any money that Emilio Gonzalez made. Back then the movie theater audiences were in awe of the Repo special effects. I know that I was. Dumbass Avatar movies, stand back with your creepy blue tailed humanoids. That planet needs to be nuked from orbit into nothingness.
What Chinese balloon fiasco? This balloon was tracked across the country, we got to see what the Chinese were looking at while we masked any electronic communications they were trying to read. Then we shot down this 200 feet tall balloon and solid parts over the ocean where it would not harm people on the ground and destroy fragile parts in the balloon. Now we have much less severely damaged Chinese asset to examine more completely and at our leisure. Sounds like a WIN to me.
