Object downed over Yukon might play into ‘intelligence long game’: ex-NORAD official
On Saturday afternoon, Global News published an exclusive report that officials with the continental defence alliance were monitoring an object that could be another potential spy balloon — followed by confirmation from NORAD.
According to Lawson, whether or not an object is a threat is determined by NORAD headquarters and decision-makers. Then, elected officials and decision-makers will be notified and brought into the process. NORAD, a U.S. and Canada bi-national organization, has been around since the Cold War. It is designed to prevent air attacks against North America and safeguard the sovereign airspaces of the U.S. and Canada, according to“Let’s not see territory as Canadian or American,” said Lawson. “Let’s really hone the decision process so we don’t have to worry about whose aircraft is used, whose missiles are used and all of that still stands today in 2023.
