Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Sunday that investigators were looking for the wreckage of a mysterious flying object that was shot down by a US fighter jet over Yukon territory the day before.
“Recovery teams are on the scene trying to find and analyze the object,” Trudeau told reporters before leaving for a previously scheduled fundraiser in the Yukon.
Trudeau’s comments came after US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told ABC broadcaster that US officials believe the object destroyed in Canada on Saturday – as well as another flying object that was shot down near Deadhorse, Alaska on Friday – were balloons.
He gave few other details, saying only that the objects were much smaller than a balloon that entered US airspace for the first time and was shot down over South Carolina on Feb. 4.
Schumer said US officials were “focused like a laser” on figuring out what the objects were and what threat they posed.
Republican Representative Mike Turner, a member of the US House Armed Services Committee, suggested that President Joe Biden’s administration may be overcompensating for what he described as a past lax monitoring of US airspace.
