(NewsNation) — A “high altitude” object discovered over Canada
has been shot down for violating Canadian airspace, Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau announced Saturday.

North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) shot down
the object over the Yukon after Canadian and U.S. aircrafts
were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the
object, according to a tweet from Trudeau.

Shortly before Trudeau’s tweet Saturday, NORAD said it had
detected an object flying at high altitude over Canada. It
did not say when the object was first spotted or what it is.

The object was the third known to have violated North American
airspace in the past two weeks.

In a second tweet, Trudeau said: “I spoke with President
Biden this afternoon. Canadian Forces will now recover and
analyze the wreckage of the object. Thank you to NORAD for
keeping the watch over North America.”

. . .

The big balloon spent a long time over western Canada,
but they didn't do anything, didn't say anything.

But things seem to have changed now. The US shot down
a smallish "object" yesterday and now the Canuks found
another and shot it down.

A US source says the Alaskan object was "cylindrical"
and "seemed to shatter" when hit. That doesn't sound
like a balloon somehow ... dunno WHAT fits that
description ..........

It was not stated whether today's object was of the
same design as yesterday's.
