Unidentified cylindrical objects were shot down over Alaska and Yukon Friday and Saturday
OTTAWA — The U.S. military shot down a fourth high-altitude object in just over a week on Sunday, this time closer to heavily populated areas in southern Ontario and the U.S. East Coast.
Earlier Sunday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada and the U.S. were co-operating and in constant communication about the situation. The undercarriage of the first balloon, which contains the surveillance equipment, was located mostly intact in the water on Friday, but efforts to extract it were delayed until at least Monday because of rough seas.
Canadian and U.S. authorities have had little to say about the objects or their intended purpose beyond surveillance. Only the first one has been confirmed to have originated in China.
