A newly released image showing the UFO that was shot down by a 
US fighter jet over Canada in 2023 has added more questions and 
uncertainty to the object floating over the Yukon.

The grainy, blurry image captured the “cylindrical” “suspected 
balloon” 40,000 feet above the Great White North in February 
2023 days before it was taken out, according to CTVNews, which 
obtained the image through an information request with Canada’s 
Department of National Defence.

A US F-22 shot the object, which was first tracked flying over 
Alaska eight days earlier, out of the sky on Feb. 11, 2023.

Officials in the US and Canada began tracking the UFO again when 
it crossed into Canadian airspace, and Prime Minister Justin 
Trudeau gave the order to shoot it down just after 4:50 p.m.

An American pilot struck the object with an AIM 9x missile.

The airborne object previously described as a “small, metallic 
balloon with a tethered payload” was spotted amid three other 
cases in which North America dealt with unidentified objects in 
the sky.

Between Feb. 10 and Feb 12, three objects were spotted floating 
over North America before they were downed over Alaska, the 
Yukon and Lake Huron, respectively.

They were all smaller than the suspected Chinese spy balloon 
that traveled from Alaska across the United States before it was 
shot down over South Carolina on Feb. 4, 2023.

China used American technology in its spy balloon that snooped 
on US military bases earlier this year, a federal investigation 
analyzing the object’s debris has found.

The Canadian government was prepared to release the photo of the 
Yukon UFO, having declassified it and approved it for the public 
to see before holding off.

“Attached is an image approved to be released,” Canadian 
military leaders wrote in a Feb. 15, 2023, email, according to 
the outlet. “We are looking at getting a better one to send to 
you.”

The Department of National Defence was going forward with the 
release of the image before the acting assistant deputy minister 
for public affairs questioned whether the public should see it.

“Should the image be released, it would be via the [Canadian 
armed forces] social media accounts,” the official wrote. “Given 
the current public environment and statements related to the 
object being benign, releasing the image may create more 
questions/confusion, regardless of the text that will accompany 
the post.”

It was later recommended the Canadian department should wait on 
the release “pending US engagement,” leading to the photo never 
seeing the light of day for over a year and a half.

President Biden confirmed the three objects were shot down but 
said there were no “suggestions they were related to China’s spy 
balloon program, or that they were surveillance vehicles from 
any other country.”

Searches for the debris from all three objects were conducted, 
but both the Canadian Mounties and the US called off the efforts 
days later.

Poor weather conditions and slim chances of finding the debris 
fields were cited as reasons for not continuing the searches.
