The Canadian military has released more details and an updated image of the unidentified object shot down over Canada's Yukon territory in February 2023.
Canada's Department of National Defence has released more details and an updated image of the unidentified object shot down over the Yukon in February 2023.
According to a defence spokesperson, the image was taken from a Royal Canadian Air Force CP-140 Aurora long-range patrol aircraft before the object was downed by a U.S. F-22 fighter jet.
"Regarding the resolution of the image, it was captured as a cropped screen shot of a video feed, using a monochrome system, thus the original image is of low quality and no colour version exists," the spokesperson said.
Their response comes nearly two-and-a-half months after CTVNews.ca first published the image, which was acquired through an access to information request. Through a new request, CTVNews.ca also obtained the unclassified image in its "original format" – a digital PowerPoint file.
The blurry grey-scale version is only slightly different from the grainy scanned image that was previously published. Canada's military says this is the best available copy. The video it was taken from has not been released.
The Yukon object was shot down on Feb. 11, 2023, shortly after it entered Canadian airspace via Alaska. It was one of three unidentified objects blasted out of the sky that month following the high-profile Feb. 4, 2023, downing of an apparent Chinese surveillance balloon.
