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.

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.
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. Department of National Defence / CTV News
