VANCOUVER, Canada — An unidentified airborne object was shot down over the Yukon in northern Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command earlier Saturday said it had identified the high-altitude object. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 fighter jet successfully took it down, Trudeau said in a tweet.
Canadian Forces will recover and analyze the wreckage of the object, Trudeau said.
