Photo of UFO Shot Down by US Fighter Jet Over Canada Released

The image, depicting a suspected balloon, was captured before the object was downed in February 2023.

A newly released photo shows a UFO that was shot down by a US F-22 fighter jet over Canada's Yukon Territory in February 2023.
The object, described as a 'small, metallic balloon with a tethered payload,' was first detected over Alaska before drifting into Canadian airspace.
The UFO was one of three aerial objects shot down by US jets in February 2023, following the downing of a Chinese surveillance balloon.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau authorized the shootdown to protect North American airspace and ensure public safety.
The image's release was delayed due to concerns about public reaction and pending US engagement, and the remains of the object were never recovered.
