The North American Aerospace Defence Command says it has positively identified an object that is currently flying at high altitude over Northern Canada
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.In a statement first announcing the object’s presence over northern Canada, NORAD spokesman Maj. Olivier Gallant said that while the military had identified what it was, it would not reveal any details.
A suspected Chinese spy balloon had re-entered the U.S. after flying over Alaska and parts of western Canada two weeks ago before it was publicly identified on Feb. 1. The balloon was shot down off the coast of North Carolina on Feb. 5. Members of the House of Commons’ defence committee voted Friday to hold hearings on the issue, which includes plans to hear from Anand and military officials.
