Three unidentified objects — apparently balloons — have been shot down this weekend, including one over Yukon.
It’s too early to speculate on the security threat posed by the latest objects to be shot down by the U.S military over North America, says a UBC specialist in international security.
It was the first of the four objects shot down over North America this month to be destroyed over Canadian territory. Trudeau said Norad — the North American Aerospace Defence Command — spotted the next object over Northern Canada Saturday afternoon and he made the order to have it shot down. Sens said that balloons used for intelligence-gathering purposes do not pose much of a direct threat.
“That in and of itself is a concern, and while the initial U.S. reaction to the first balloon was cautious, the recent interception and downing of these other objects indicates the limits of patience both in the U.S. and Canada, and therefore the potential for an incident to spiral into a crisis.”
