On February 11 2023, an American official reported that a U.S. fighter shot down a third unmanned aircraft in a week, this time over northern Canada.
North American Aerospace Defense Command, a joint US-Canada entity that defends airspace over the two countries, discovered the item flying at a great height over Alaska on Friday evening, according to U.S. officials. After a week-long controversy over an alleged Chinese eavesdropping balloon, North America seemed to be on high alert.
The shootdown was initially reported by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who also promised that his Canadian forces will recover and examine the aircraft's wreckage.
According to the Pentagon, U.S. President Joe Biden cooperated with Canada to take down the high-altitude craft. Following close collaboration between U.S. and Canadian authorities, a US F-22 downed the object on Canadian territories using an AIM 9X missile.
It was shot down at 3:41 EST (2041 GMT) while in the air at 40,000 feet (12,200 m), where it presented a threat to civilian aviation traffic.

A great fear is that China may be using those balloons to drop location transmitters that can be synced with their ICBMs and circumvent missle defenses. Or maybe dropping WMDs that can later be detonated at will, or used to stun the US to inaction when they attack Taiwan. Considering $$ that China tries to funnel into US political coffers, and our politically weaponized DOJ, I think it may be a good time to start praying.
@akindheart Blowing them out of the sky may prevent knowing what they are up to. Drop a giant fishnet over it, add a few tons of dead weight or parachutes and bring it down gently.m
@Heartlander you mean like getting the black box? we know they were transmitting in real time so the damage was done. but maybe we can see what they know. we are always behind the 8 ball.
