Canada shot down a small “cylindrical” object flying over the north-west of the country about 12000 meters high because it poses a threat to civil aviation, Canada’s defense minister said this Saturday, Anita Anand.

The Minister of Defense added that she does not want to speculate on the origin of the object to questions whether it is of Chinese origin.

Anand also noted that the object was similar, though smaller, to a Chinese hot air balloon that USA shot down 4 February off the coast North Carolina (USA) after flying over most of the country.

“It would be unwise for me to speculate about the origin of the object at this time,” said the Canadian minister, who asked to wait while the authorities analyzed the data to provide additional information.
