Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday that an "unidentified object" had been shot down over Canadian airspace on his orders.
"I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. @NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object," Trudeau said on Twitter.
Trudeau said that he spoke with US President Joe Biden on Saturday and that Canadian forces will lead the object recovery operation. Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand tweeted Saturday that she had discussed the incident with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin "and reaffirmed that we'll always defend our sovereignty together."

Unidentified, "cylindrical objects"...
Did we just take ET out?
The aliens might not be amused.
(and we aren't talking "immigrants" here)

Excuse me? If it was in Canadian airspace, why didn't Canada shoot it down. Too busy harassing the truckers?

Trudeau can not give orders to US military to be at ease let alone shoot down a spy balloon.

I am willing to bet we haven't got to the "kinky part" yet. Does anyone on this blog believe ANYTHING our government tells us?

Our government continues to demonstrate ZERO credibility to us. The more "objects" they pull out of their hats, the more suspect the whole caper becomes.
If suddenly they ARE intercepting a flotilla of floaters, then they have to answer: how many have been getting through before this?

Why aren't they using cannons or machine guns? Are missiles a bit of overkill?, pun intended.

NORAD shot it down, they are North American Defense and do work in conjunction with Canada. Perfectly legal, for lack of another word, for them to shoot it down. Imagine if it was a real UFO?!

We shot down a "cylindrical object". I think we are being played by our own government.
Did we really shoot something down? Why the vague descriptions? This UFO is so small no pesky
amateur astronomers will ever take a picture of it. (like last time) If we are not being "punked" I guess we have to declare
war on China. that ought to make Biden look tough.

Testing the weakness of the BIden fiasco of an administration. Look around, a demented, perverted idiot posing as president. Brainless VP, Secretary of State projects the strength of a bowl of jello, top military leaders only care about diversity, equity, inclusion, and wokeness, John Kirby is a weakling…

Once these clowns wake up they shoot every goose they see. Barney Fife-like they should only be given one bullet to avoid hysterical shooting.

10, they'd use a missile if the target was too high up. The F22 is reported to have a ceiling of about 50k feet. If the object was at 60k feet then they can't use guns but a missile can get there.
I doubt they shot down anything or there was even something there. More likely is after Biden botched the Chinese balloon they're now claiming to shoot down all sorts of things that aren't even there to fuzz up the news.

First it's quite interesting that suddenly we're shooting these down, especially after last week's debacle. Secondly the Chicoms would/should be screaming their heads off but have not heard a peep.
Interesting.

This is all on Befuddled Biden, and people were worried about Trump being unstable.
