UFO shot down in the US and Canada? What is known about the case

It has been a difficult weekend for the US Department of Defense. USA And Canada after confirming the downing of up to two unidentified flying objects (UFO) in their territory just a few days after alleged Chinese spy balloons flew.

On February 10, one of them was shot down on the frozen coast of Alaska, and on the 11th, an American fighter shot down another over Canada.

But given the general fear, it is important to highlight some of the key points that are drawn from these actions. What should we know about these destructions?

What is known about downed UFOs

The first thing to keep in mind is that the word UFO it doesn’t have to be related to aliens, though in popular culture the connection is almost inherent.

Unidentified flying objects can be drones, natural phenomena, satellites, or secret devices in other government tests. Moreover, this latter value causes the most fear among governments such as USA, mainly due to its strong tensions with other countries such as Russia and China, a fact for which sightings and, in this case, demolitions are studied primarily because of the implications they can have on the security level.

The object shot down on Friday in Alaska was indeed seen on Thursday. National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby told reporters that the agency had sent F-35 fighter jets to investigate.

According to Kirby, President USA, Joe Biden ordered to shoot and shoot down the “object”. In issuing the order, one of the factors that worried the president was the altitude at which he was flying, about 12 kilometers, and that put him at a height where he could interfere with the trajectories of civilian aircraft, Kirby explained.

The pilots then gave varying accounts of what they observed, the intelligence source said: while some said “the object was interfering with their sensors,” others said there was “no identifiable form of movement and they could not explain how he supports himself.” in the air”.

On the other hand, a facility in the Yukon, Canada, was shot down by American troops because he was in the border zone. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with Biden himself, decided to demolish it.

The site was eventually hit by an AIM-9X infrared missile launched from a US Air Force F-22 Raptor operating in conjunction with a Canadian Air Force CF-18 under orders from North American Defense Command (Norad).

In accordance with CNNOfficials noted that it was “the size of a small car” and was different from the Chinese reconnaissance balloon shot down a few days earlier.

“We call it an object because it’s the best description we have at the moment,” Kirby said. “We don’t know who owns it, whether it’s a state, a corporation or a private company, we just don’t.”

The second case details a particular shape: a cylinder.

“It would be unwise for me to speculate about the origin of the object now,” said Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand. that he asked to wait while the authorities analyzed the data to provide more information.

Alleged images of a truck carrying what could have been UFO shot by the soldiers. They are all fake.

According to Pentagon spokesman General Patrick Ryder, rescue teams are currently collecting debris lying on the surface of the ice in US territorial waters. USA in the case of Alaska.

As for the Canadian border, Canada He has already ordered search and recovery work.

New case: China

This Sunday, a new case was added to this series of observations: from China.

The state publication The Global Times spoke in detail about the discovery of a UFO off the coast of the Chinese province of Shandong, in the east of the country.

According to the article, the Chinese military is preparing to shoot down the object in the last hours.

It will take several days and weeks to find out the origin of these unidentified flying objects. Remarkably, despite the mystery and paranormality, the case will be much more inclined towards geopolitics and a dispute about the hegemony of the largest countries in the world.
