In a technical briefing with reporters on Monday, the Canadian Forces’ Maj.-Gen. Paul Prevost said that “these three last objects didn’t look anything like the first object that we dealt with.”
“Obviously there is some sort of pattern in there. The fact that we are seeing this in a significant degree over the past week is a cause for interest and close attention, which is exactly what we’re doing,” Trudeau told reporters at a news conference.“We’ve deployed significant resources here to be able to recover the object, as well as diplomatic and international engagements going on to find more information and to get solutions on this.
That balloon, which China has claimed was a weather aircraft, was shot down two days after American officials first acknowledged it and a week after it first entered U.S. and Canadian airspace. In the eight days since that takedown, American jets have shot down three “unidentified objects” over Alaska, Yukon and Lake Huron near Ontario and Michigan.
This Global News graphic shows the regions in the United States and Canada where a suspected Chinese spy balloon and three unidentified objects were shot down as of Feb. 13 by U.S. jets.While the Chinese balloon has been recovered and is being examined by American personnel, officials are still searching for the other three objects to determine what they were and where they’re from.“Our focus right now is on recovering it.
“We’re working very hard to locate them but there’s no guarantee we will,” he said, adding he remains “very hopeful.”After news of the suspected spy balloon emerged earlier this month, the U.S. military has been adjusting its radar to find flying objects — including balloons — that are smaller, slower and differently shaped than enemy aircraft and missiles that have long preoccupied the Pentagon.
