A series of UFO incidents (not necessarily of extraterrestrial origin) have the governments of the United States and Canada worried. And tensions are rising with China.<\/span><\/h3>\n

A US Air Force F-22 Raptor fighter jet shot down an unidentified flying object over Canada on Saturday afternoon<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n

This comes shortly after the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) warned of a \u201chigh-altitude aerial object\u201d flying over northern Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI have ordered the shootdown of an unidentified object violating Canadian airspace. NORAD shot down the object over the\u00a0<\/span>Yukon<\/span><\/a>\u00a0. Canadian and US aircraft were deployed and a US F-22 successfully fired on the object,\u201d Trudeau said<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in a statement on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI spoke with President Biden this afternoon. The Canadian Forces will now recover and analyze the remains of the object.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A senior government source with direct knowledge of the situation told CBC News that\u00a0<\/span>the Canadian government was first alerted to the object on Friday<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0while it was still travelling through Alaska.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to this same source, the object crossed into Canada on Saturday morning and Prime Minister Trudeau ordered the country that arrived first to shoot it down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maj. Olivier Gallant, a NORAD spokesman, told The Associated Press that\u00a0<\/span>the Pentagon had determined what it was but would not release details.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It is the second object to be shot down over North America in the past two days, and the third in less than a week.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0On Friday, the White House announced that an unidentified object posing a \u201creasonable threat\u201d had been shot down over Alaska.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pentagon declined to comment on the incident, saying only that the object was the size of a small car, was unmanned and its flight altitude was that of commercial aircraft.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"F22
The F-22 pilots responsible for intercepting the UFO over Alaska have given conflicting accounts of its characteristics. The Pentagon is silent.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this regard, NORAD indicated on Saturday that it \u201cdid not have further details at this time about the object, including its capabilities, purpose or origin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chinese weather balloon was a spy balloon.<\/span><\/h3>\n

As previously reported, a\u00a0<\/span>US warplane shot down a suspected Chinese weather balloon<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0off the coast of South Carolina on February 4 after it spent several days crisscrossing the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

China acknowledged the existence of the downed balloon last week but claimed it was purely \u201ccivilian in nature\u201d<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and had veered off course due to unexpected weather conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Pentagon sources indicated that the antennas and cameras carried by the balloon did not match the sensors that a weather balloon typically carries.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Biden administration, the Chinese balloon was part of a military-led espionage program<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0that spanned more than 40 countries, including\u00a0<\/span>Taiwan<\/span><\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0<\/span>Japan<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and some Latin American countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

This event caused a\u00a0<\/span>diplomatic crisis between the United States and China<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alaska UFO Mystery<\/span><\/h3>\n

On Friday, the\u00a0<\/span>US government shot down a \u201chigh-altitude unidentified flying object\u201d over Alaska<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0after it was determined to pose a \u201creasonable threat to civil air traffic\u201d as it was flying at 40,000 feet, or 12,000 m.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The UFO, which\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0was NOT characterized as a balloon<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, was shot down by fighter jets assigned to the US Northern Command and President Biden referred to the operation as a \u201csuccess.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

F-35 fighter jets were deployed to the area where the object was spotted on Thursday night and a second on Friday morning. Both brought back \u201climited\u201d and conflicting information about the object.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"NOTICE\"
An unusual NOTAM was issued this Saturday by the FAA. It indicated that \u201cpilots who do not comply with the following procedure may be intercepted, detained and questioned by security forces personnel.\u201d<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As reported by CNN,\u00a0<\/span>some pilots said the object \u201cinterfered with their sensors\u201d on board<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, but not all pilots reported experiencing such an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Others claimed to have seen no identifiable propulsion system on the object and therefore could not explain how it remained aloft, cruising at an altitude of 12 kilometers<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0. These accounts explain the Pentagon’s secrecy about the object.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this moment, special teams are trying to recover the remains of the object, which lies in the frozen sea above the territorial waters of the United States,<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0with great effort due to adverse weather and environmental conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last moment<\/span><\/h3>\n

On Saturday night, the\u00a0<\/span>United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a NOTAM (NOtice To AirMan) classifying the airspace around\u00a0<\/span>Havre, Montana<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(near the Canadian border) as \u201cnational defense airspace.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Pilots who fail to comply with the following procedure may be intercepted, detained and questioned by security force personnel.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time of writing,\u00a0<\/span>the airspace over Montana had been reopened<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0. NORAD reported that fighter jets sent to intercept the echoes shown by U.S. airspace surveillance radar\u00a0<\/span>did not identify any objects to correlate with the radar information<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clearly the situation is concerning for those responsible for airspace safety and national security in both the United States and Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n
