U.S. fighter jet shot down unidentified object in northern Canada



Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said a high-altitude flying object was taken down over the Yukon Saturday, after coordinating with President Biden. This comes one day after the U.S. shot down an unidentified object over Alaskan waters. Tonight, the search is underway for the debris from that downed object, but rescue crews are facing brutal winter conditions. NBC News’ Monica Alba breaks down the latest on U.S. efforts to protect its airspace.

  1. Object. What kind of object ?🤔

  2. Will they be able to shoot down a Hypersonic Missile?

  3. Shoot first as questions latter…

  4. China asking for a punch in the face of she ping pong the who re…..

  5. Not even the Russians dared so much 🇷🇺 to send their spy balloons, but the People's Republic of China 🇨🇳 already crosses the line with us North Americans 😎 they don't even respect the limits of our border anymore with this it would be two spy balloons and who will know if there are more flying in our country 🇺🇸

  6. Why did the US shoot it down over Canadian territory if anyone should have shot it down surely it’s the Canadian military job

  7. We are at war. Call it what it is. Prepare now ppl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. So, we're shooting down things and we don't even know what we are shooting at… awesome.

  9. Can you just spit out what these “identified objects” you’re shooting down?
    Also it would help if you news outlets stop staggering it and report at roughly the same time. Otherwise it gives the incorrect appearance that it’s more numerous then it actually is.

  10. Lets just call it target practice.

  11. all fun and games till they shoot down an extraterrestrial ufo

  12. Most likely another UFO. How do you think we have advanced so quickly?

  13. Wouldn't it make much more sense to shoot these objects down with a few rounds from the gun, rather than an expensive missile? After all they are bigger than a whomp rat. And I used to bullseye those with my T-16 back home.

  14. The object was black bat kite, or a drone if you were born this century, either way definitely made in china.

  15. Why is the military shooting down enemy balloons with $400,000 missiles instead of machine gun bullets? Are our pilots bad shots?

  16. This is starting to sound like a beginning of an alien invasion movie

  17. Until it's actually identified, who gives a fk?

  18. Probably just a BS story made up to make Norad look like they are on top of things. After they looked like fools not knowing that a chinese air balloon was hovering over our country for who knows how long.

  19. Wow can't believe what I'm hearing about the US fighter jet that shot down a UFOA over Canada

  20. Well… if this is what it takes to unify most of us, so be it. Won't do any good for the thugs and their ilk…

  21. Wtf is us fighter jet doing in canada🤦

  22. Biden Shoots down 3 out of 3

    Trump shoots down 0 out of 3

    Then again Trump did receive a nice beautiful wonderful letter from Xi Jinping.

  23. Are we on the verge of interstellar war? Cover up like in Roswell?

  24. 2020 year bring covid now 2023 bring aliens ?

  25. Yeah they did a complete news blackout our television was blacked out in Wisconsin tonight. All state ran channels anyways. 5, 7, 9, 12 and 13 I believe I didn’t see it my fiancé at work said all the channels were out. But I think it’s a real unidentified flying object like a ufo because the way they reacted to it and the pentagon shut down television? I mean that’s weird.

  26. In 1945 Japan launched 1000 balloon bombs that flew to North America and many of them flew over Montana. We were under attack then. What about now?

  27. Who cares? He did nothing
    ,😊

  28. I hope the Communist China head pay more attention and doing more good to his people than invading other countries. 😂😂😂

  29. I've had premonitions of being invaded through the air by China in a very fast attack and now seeing this it makes me wonder if they aren't all planning on taking us out! Would we really even be ready for a surprise airborne paratrooper attack? I think we wouldn't be especially under this administration!

  30. I would feel safer if we had a competent president.
