A US military jet shot down an unidentified airborne object over Canada’s Yukon Territory today — as President Biden’s administration continued to remain mum about the mysterious intruder brought down in Alaska the previous day, the NY Post.
Canada closed its airspace over parts of Yukon at around 4:50 p.m. due to an “active air defense operation,” and five minutes later, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that he “ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace.”
“Canadian and US aircraft were scrambled, and a US F-22 successfully fired at the object,” Trudeau tweeted.
He revealed no information about the nature of the object or where its wreckage landed.
Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said the object had been detected over Alaska late Friday and was tracked by US and Canadian military aircraft as it crossed into Canadian airspace, then taken down by an AIM 9X missile fired by an American jet.
