OTTAWA: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday an"unidentified object" was shot down over northwestern Canada, one day after US officials said they had shot down a similar object over Alaska.
Trudeau said that Canadian forces in the Yukon"will now recover and analyse the wreckage of the object."The object was shot down Saturday over the Yukon, which borders Alaska, where US fighter jets off the state's north coast downed another object Friday. "Recovery activities are occurring on sea ice," it said, adding that the Pentagon could offer"no further details ... about the object, including its capabilities, purpose, or origin."Saturday's detection and downing of an airborne object marked the third time in the past three weeks that an airship has crossed into North America.
