Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ordered to shoot off an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) shot down the object over the Yukon, a Canadian territory West of the country and bordering Alaska, United States.
“Canadian and U.S. aircraft scrambled and a U.S. Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor successfully fired at the object,” Trudeau wrote on Twitter, adding that he spoke with President Biden this afternoon.
Canadian Forces will now recover and analyse the wreckage of the object.

According to some Defense Sources the Object shot down over Canada today appears to be a “Small Metallic Balloon with a tethered Payload”; this somewhat contradicts what Canadian Defense Officials stated earlier which is that the Object was Cylindrical.

It is the third object to be shot down over North America in the last week.
On Friday the American military destroyed an unspecified object the size of a small car off Alaska. One week ago, United States President Joe Biden ordered the taking down of a Chinese balloon that drifted through the country at a high altitude.
Lets not kid eachother. He ordered NOTHING. It was US and it Went something like this. Theres an object in air over your Yukon and we’ll shoot it down. Trudeo “yes please. I cut the defense budget and now our military is a complete joke”
