The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today that it has ordered teams deployed to search for the cylindrical object that shot down a US fighter jet over the Yukon Territories yesterday so they can analyze it and learn more about its mission.
“Tracing teams are in the field looking for the object to analyze. There is still a lot to learn about it. That’s why the analysis of this item is going to be very important,” Trudeau told reporters.
Yesterday Saturday one “unidentified object” was shot down while flying at high altitude in the northwestern part of the country, a day after the US shot down another “object” where it was high above Alaska.
“I have ordered the downing of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace,” Trudeau said via Twitter. “His fighter jets took off in haste Canada and the US and an American (pursuit) F-22 hit the object,” he clarified.
The Canadian Armed Forces will “collect and analyze” the wreckage of the “object,” he added.
For his part, US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, in an interview with ABC today, said that US National Security Agency officials believe that the flying objects that were shot down over Alaska and Canada were balloons.

Schumer pledged that if American citizens or American interests are at risk, appropriate actions will be taken.
