Defence Minister Anand said it was too early to tell whether a “cylindrical object' shot down over central Yukon on Saturday was from China.
Posted: Feb. 12, 2023 8:49AMThis photo made Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2013, shows a Canadian F-18 over western Alaska as it tracks a hijacked airplane in a simulation. The North American Aerospace Defence Command says it has positively identified an object that is currently flying at high altitude over Northern Canada.
“That is the information that we are working with right now. But with further analysis, we will know more and be able to provide you with more details and a follow-up.” “I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace,” he wrote. “ shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object.”
Anand said the object was flying at 40,000 feet, or about 12,000 metres, and shot down at 3:41 p.m. EST about 160 kilometres from the border with Alaska. She added it entered Canadian airspace illegally and posed a threat to the safety of civilian flights. Anand said while an American fighter jet shot down the object, two CF-18s were also heavily involved through much of its sojourn on Friday night and Saturday. All four fighter jets were working for Norad, she added, which is a shared Canadian-American command.
