Norad shoots down 'unidentified object' over Yukon under PM Trudeau's orders

Norad shoots down 'unidentified object' over Yukon under PM Trudeau's orders

A U.S. fighter jet shot down an 'unidentified object' over central Yukon on Saturday as part of a Norad operation, an act Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he ordered after the object violated Canadian airspace.

A U.S. fighter jet shot down an "unidentified object" over central Yukon on Saturday as part of an operation with Norad, the joint Canada-U.S military organization responsible for airspace defence.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he personally ordered the takedown of the object after it violated Canadian airspace.

"Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object," Trudeau said in a statement on Twitter.

"I spoke with President Biden this afternoon. Canadian Forces will now recover and analyze the wreckage of the object. Thank you to NORAD for keeping the watch over North America."

The White House released a readout Saturday night of Biden's call with Trudeau, stating that the unidentified object was "unmanned" and "closely tracked" by Norad over the last 24 hours.

"Out of an abundance of caution and at the recommendation of their militaries, President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau authorized it to be taken down," the statement says.

"President Biden authorized U.S. fighter aircraft assigned to NORAD to conduct the operation and a U.S. F-22 shot down the object in Canadian territory in close co-ordination with Canadian authorities. The leaders discussed the importance of recovering the object in order to determine more details on its purpose or origin.
